OUCH! - EVH Striped Series '78 Eruption Guitar REVIEW - (Made in Mexico)

[The~Kid]

Honestly for the money a Kramer 84 Made in Indonesia is as good or better......


The only thing I would really look into for this money are the EVH 5150 guitars that cost the same or less as a striped....... But other than that..... The striped guitars are pretty much a fucking scam given the money.


Check out a Kramer 84

Alder, mahogany, maple, poplar, ash? All good. Basswood? No offense to anyone here that likes it, but FUCK no. Dave Friedman calls it asswood and I agree. Mushy attack. Lifeless. Dull. Can't stand it.

I cannot scientifically say that basswood is terrible, but every guitar that I have personally played with basswood was dead

The one I'm getting is the 1983 Baretta reissue, the one in the old No Bozos ad. I can't bring myself to pay new pricing, but I will grab a used one eventually. I fondled one at Sweetwater last year and it really brought me back when my guitar teacher got one of the very first ones when I was 13.
