Great to know the story from the man himself, rather than rely on mere hearsay and BS!

Nice one BP - a great story!

So cool to see how it all came together. 100% truth to the fact that the Music Man EVH guitar stands the test of time and is his most popular signature model to date. A true classic and a design that is truly unique. Thanks for sharing BP!

I know EVH topics are a touchy subject around here. But a big thanks goes out to BP for that blog. That was a great read. Didn't know about the Kramer/5150 strings situation. Didn't even know Kramer sold 5150 strings. I was only about 12 or 13 when he was with Kramer in '83, '84. Damn where does the time go?

We're still waiting for the book, Poppa!!!
