Never go full retard...EVH striped pickups

[Tone Junkie]

What’s the world come to. 200 pickups.

Find an old SD or as mentioned a mighty mite. They are making new ones.

Ed played a slapped together parts guitar. Ed sounds like Ed no matter what he played. No matter the amp fx etc.

What ever happened to being original.

The amp was the main ingredient and the studio,Van Halen 1 sounds like a ceramic magnet pickup no question about it
