Thanks for sharing. This was always my favorite Ed design. When they came out with this one I didnt want to pay the asking price. After they quit making them you could get them for around 700-800 USD. I found one, bought it, and love it. Great to shred on. Now people are paying over 2,000 USD for them. Glad I have mine.
My kids and I saw you open for the Foreigner Farewell Tour at Budweiser Stage in Toronto, this summer. It was their first ever concert and we will never forget it. We were very impressed with how good you guys are especially your style of music. YOU GUYS ROCKED!!!
I always love watching and listening to you play Eddie better than anyone else I've ever seen! Thank you for sharing your skill and passion with the rest of us! We're very grateful :)
I love to see Jacob do his thing, and I really would like to see him and Joshua Jones work together on something. They both have dialed in VH and played a ton of live gigs. Doesn't need to be VH tunes, those two jammin' for an hour on original stuff would be marvelous! 🤘🎸
@@markrosenquist8259 I like Cameron Cooper also, he is great but seems like he is doing original stuff and does more studio than live work... but he has good settings for VH tones on those little Yamaha amps. 🤘🎸👍
I'm sitting here with my Guitar getting a great lesson, thanks Sir. You young gun slingers are the future of classic rock, God Bless and keep it going..
Fuckin phenomenal.. Can’t wait for your album to drop man! Got the first song off iTunes yesterday. Instant fan buddy 🤘🏻 Im 51 and your playing speaks to every guitar hero I grew up with, especially Eddie!! Rock on!!!! 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
I think this is the first time I've actually heard your speaking voice , not what i was expecting. I been rocking your channel for a couple years now its awesome watching you get better and better. You're awesome dude keep rocking
Awesome!!! RIP EVH 😔 Thanks for keeping his legacy alive, Jacob. Very FEW guitarists I’ve seen have the FEEL you do when you play…….you can be super fast and technical, but if you don’t have that it’s basically “fretboard karaoke”. 😎👍🏻
Thank you so much Jacob! Both the review of the guitar and the history behind it was great. I will never forget the first time I heard the "new" band Van Halen on the radio. I almost wrecked my car!! It is so cool you can carry on the music for this generation. Rock On Man!!!! I can't wait to get your album to keep next to my original Van Halen collection.
Deraps, I'm not a guitarist, I play drums, percussion and bass. I really enjoy watching you play, it allows me to see up close how Mr Van Halen played his riffs. Keep Rockin'....& God Bless.
@@burningdaylights I have a feeling that a lot of musician watch others play different things, and I think in some way, it aids in that person understanding another musician's style, to aid in their own style & playing become even tighter.
Awesome as always! I don't think there's anyone that I've heard to this day that comes as close to Eddie's tone and spirit as you, dude!! I always learn a little tid-bit every time I watch one of your vids!
Kick ass! Say what you will of the legends of rock guitar, it's kind of like ice cream, many different flavors. EVH was the Steve Jobs or Bill Gates of guitar. A true outlier of building to suit the vision in his head. Couple that with with fact he was hands done the most unique guitarist, period end of story! Keep up the great work and I'm so happy there are young guitar players preaching the gospel!
Love that guitar. You really nail the VH licks man, its awesome. Keep up the good work. You were killing it back when you were a kid so no surprise there.
Jacob sounds awesome at guitar as always!! Great parts of some Ratt, ZZ-Top… 👏🤘 but greatest band of mine, VH’ of course! Jacob keep carrying the torch! Awesome dude! Keep rockin’ 🤘🤘👏👏 fan from Holland, land of the klumps!
Not only did Eddie dip his humbucker pickups in paraffin wax, but he essentially created the humbucker that was big during the 80's (Seymour Duncan, later Dimarzio models) by taking a Dimarzio pickup and adding the magnet from a Gibson PAF, then rewinding the copper wire coils (by hand) before submerging the pickup in wax to limit unwanted feedback noise.
Funny story -- I put $$ on a USA Stratocaster HSS at the local Guitar Center and was going back in a week to pick it up but when i went back to actually purchase it a couple weeks later this guitar was on the wall, i picked up this guitar and decided to NOT keep the USA stratocaster and purchased this instead lol .. I LOVED this guitar (I own USA charvels as well) but i am not a fan of 1 pickup type guitars in general, (I need a neck pickup lol) but when the prices skyrocketed i decided to sell it... It was a great well build and sounding guitar but if it had a neck pickup i probably would have kept it, fun guitar Great playing as usual in your vids, keep up the good work
Maybe an odd question but does anyone know if there’s a way to get a sticker like the arrow around the volume knob? I’d like to add that to my Wolfgang standard
David Gilmour actually had a humbucker in his famous black strat for a while in the mid- 70's before VH was on the scene. I can't post a pic here but you can search for it.
Amazing note for note! Your a bad ass bro! I hope your in Van Halen tribute band or your own putting all your talents to good use! … very impressive! 👍💯🙏😎
Awesome stuff as usual Jacob! I was wondering if you were using the Germino 55 or the Marshall head until i saw one of your comments. Have you ever got to jam through one of Germino's 100 Headroom amp heads? If so, thats something I'd like to hear!
I never noticed that side contour of a woman’s body lying across between the neck and the pickup, with the head at the volume knob. I wonder what inspired Eddie to do that.
Hey "D"? I JUST FOUND YOUR VIDEO HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WATCHED IT. I LIKE YOUR STYLE, ROCKER IMAGE AND PLAYING! NOW I WANT TO ASK IF YOU MIGHT LIVE IN OR AROUND THE NYC AREA? AND IF SO? WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK MORE ABOUT POSSIBLY PLAYING RHYTHM AND LEAD GUITAR ON A NEW FULL ALBUM OF ORIGINAL MELODIC/DANCE ROCK WITH THAT 80s RATT/SOUND?????? SERIOUSLY THIS IS NOT A JOKE.. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK MORE? LET ME KNOW... THANK YOU.
How do you feel about the base response on this guitar. I had heard that the low end was missing somewhat. I got one and the low e response etc has less depth to my ear compared to my axis guitars and others. It feels like everything is somewhat in the same frequency range. When I play the main riff on Im the One the A string sounds more muddy and blends with the other notes. Just wondering how you hear it because of course, with your playing to my ear it sounds perfect.
Well Jacob ,, You have turned out to be an outstanding guitarist ,, ( I started watching you back when you were younger ) and yes I knew you would become what you are now ,,, Just amazing man ,, and yes EVH sounds awesome just keep on making the Vids man
Thank you guys so much for the great comments and feedback! I will try to upload a new episode every Saturday 10am EST.

Beyond belief thank u

@@toddkoenig426 Yeah they are the 2 best I’ve found. Both phenomenal players.

@@toddkoenig426 yeah he’s good also. I know the tones he gets from that amp is pretty amazing
Used to watch your tetris stuff all the time lol... funny seeing you here
I’m always amazed by how great and inventive Ed’s rhythm playing was! 🤟🏼🎸
Karl Sandoval has a lot of real knowledge of this. Ed did not invent soaking pickups in wax. He did it but Gibson already did in the early 60s.
Thanks for the info!
Wayne Charvel told him about it and taught him how to do it
I'm sitting here with my Guitar getting a great lesson, thanks Sir. You young gun slingers are the future of classic rock, God Bless and keep it going..

Rock on!!!! 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Big fan here...You have the tone,technique,balls and most importantly,the swing.
Pure awesome! If Van Halen ever tours again....you got my vote to play guitar!!
I'm using the EVH guitar, plugged straight into my 50th anniversary Marshall JMP then into my Germino 4x12 cab with Celestion Greenbacks.
How do you have it panned sounds like the guitar hard left and a reverb hard right?
I imagine that is LOUD!
I just asked this question, as it sounded very, very good. If that’s the 1 watt amp, that sounds killer. Thanks for sharing.
I think this is the first time I've actually heard your speaking voice , not what i was expecting. I been rocking your channel for a couple years now its awesome watching you get better and better. You're awesome dude keep rocking
dude, your Van Halen licks are unbelievable. I love your content since day 1
I don't care what anyone says! Dude your an amazing Guitar Player you defiantly know your stuff!!!!
Your Jamie's cryin' is so fkn delightful and all the others too.thanks for sharing
Awesome!!!
RIP EVH 😔
Thanks for keeping his legacy alive, Jacob.
Very FEW guitarists I’ve seen have the FEEL you do when you play…….you can be super fast and technical, but if you don’t have that it’s basically “fretboard karaoke”.
😎👍🏻
I have one just like. Just played it with my 2 man band the other night. Had it since 2015.
Round and round was the coolest thing ever. Sounded like Warren demartini and Robin Crosby were using Eddie’s rig
And an awesome Michael Schumacher poster on the wall! Great job!
Thank you so much Jacob! Both the review of the guitar and the history behind it was great. I will never forget the first time I heard the "new" band Van Halen on the radio. I almost wrecked my car!! It is so cool you can carry on the music for this generation. Rock On Man!!!! I can't wait to get your album to keep next to my original Van Halen collection.
This bloke absolutely rocks..👍👍🔥🔥
Your vibrato during the verse on Round-N-Round is 100% perfection. Outstanding playing.
That fingerpicking riffage was awesome!
Sick playing!!! Sounds great, love the new guitar series 👌
Deraps, I'm not a guitarist, I play drums, percussion and bass. I really enjoy watching you play, it allows me to see up close how Mr Van Halen played his riffs. Keep Rockin'....& God Bless.
I'm your exact opposite, man--I play guitar and watch a lot of drummer videos.
@@burningdaylights I have a feeling that a lot of musician watch others play different things, and I think in some way, it aids in that person understanding another musician's style, to aid in their own style & playing become even tighter.
Always a pleasure watching you play brother!!
Really enjoy watching you jam.
Great playing, sounds really good.
Man, you are talent + passion. Realy awesome!
Cranking out those VH tunes. Awesome JD ROCK ON! 🤘🎸🤘
I could listen to you play all freak’n day long.
Please post more
Can’t wait to the album to come out!
Love your playing and content!
You and Cameron Cooper and Pete Thorn need to get together. Heads would explode!
I’m happy to notice you fine-tune the pickup polepieces “the right way”!
Awesome as always! I don't think there's anyone that I've heard to this day that comes as close to Eddie's tone and spirit as you, dude!! I always learn a little tid-bit every time I watch one of your vids!
EXCELLENT. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
yes! love seeing anyone blast out the deep cuts! The Full Bug would have been so much better if it was recorded on Fair Warning
Nice guitar fantastic playing as always🤘
That was pretty sweet! I got a Wolfgang standard. Exotic wood. Ziricote....beautiful and sounds great....
Now that’s a master class. I’ve been following you anyway, but this is an added bonus.
Kick ass! Say what you will of the legends of rock guitar, it's kind of like ice cream, many different flavors.
EVH was the Steve Jobs or Bill Gates of guitar. A true outlier of building to suit the vision in his head. Couple that with with fact he was hands done the most unique guitarist, period end of story!
Keep up the great work and I'm so happy there are young guitar players preaching the gospel!
The best as usual. Nice work and nice shirt hanging back there..
VH stuff is mesmerizing
Love that guitar. You really nail the VH licks man, its awesome. Keep up the good work. You were killing it back when you were a kid so no surprise there.
You don't see these for sale on eBay or Reverb. I wonder what I should sell mine for.
Incredible playing like always. A true master at his craft. Great content overall. The guitar reviews are very informative
Great playing brother. Love it!’..
Love it you are great bro keep it up

Get this man a EVH 5150iii 100 watt stealth and get to work! Great Work Jacob.
When you played Beautiful Girls opening riff i could hear the bass with it😂
Jacob sounds awesome at guitar as always!! Great parts of some Ratt, ZZ-Top… 👏🤘 but greatest band of mine, VH’ of course! Jacob keep carrying the torch! Awesome dude! Keep rockin’ 🤘🤘👏👏 fan from Holland, land of the klumps!
Great chops as usual! Love the guitar! My favorite is the EVH Bumble Bee!
That show your love is why Phil X says you've got it.

Killer tone in your playing
Jake it would be cool to see you pull off Big Trouble off the 76 demos someday. That solo is too good

excellent as always. what are you playing through here? amp? plugin?
Thanks! My Marshall 50th anniversary JMP, through my Germino 4x12 cab with Celestion greenbacks, going straight in.
how do you get the tone, its actually perfect
You should do a tutorial for us how to play these Van Halen songs……
Yes!
I think he would make money off of RUclips, just by having so many views on how to play some of the shit.. lol
🤘👽
wonder how different basswood is vs the alder/ash (even poplar the Kramer supposedly was) woods Eddies originals were made of
Awesome playing dude. 👊🏻👊🏻. How close is the neck on that to the Frankie model?
What are you playing through? Sounds Great! THanks
You are best van halen cover guitarist in the whole fuckin world 🌎 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great video... guitar sounds awesome and the playing is phenomenal. What are you running it through to achieve those tones?
It's crazy how much that DiMartini lick sounds like Ed wrote it.
EVH Foever Man
🤘👈
I’ll tackle a few of these songs once I’ve mastered wild thing
And now some Van Halen… 🔥🔥🔥
So, where's the volume control on the EVH Striped Series Circles guitar? I only see the tone control.
Well Jacob ,, You have turned out to be an outstanding guitarist ,, ( I started watching you back when you were younger ) and yes I knew you would become what you are now ,,, Just amazing man ,, and yes EVH sounds awesome just keep on making the Vids man
Mr Jacob...tocas de maravilla!!..excelente !!..pero quita el cable detrás de tu mano izqda..q te desconcentra💪💪
So I always thought he put a Hummbucker into a fender strat. So it had a strat feel with a les paul sound...
11:09 = Coolest lick ever!
I have this guitar, bought in 2018 for $500. Now people are selling/buying these up to$2000.
could you post some Jake E Lee Charvel? :)
c'mon man at least make it look a little bit difficult :) brilliant to watch!
First? Haha nice playing
What gauge size strings do you use?
