A better friend than I deserve surprised me w/this over the holidays. It's an original 80's Kramer Pacer body, German Floyd, German Schaller tuners, etc.

He painted and aged it. the neck isn't a Kramer but he had the headstock shaped to match the 80's hockey stick.

The cherry on top - he's good friends w/Gary Kramer and had him sign it when he was visiting Gary's vineyard earlier this year.

My buddy runs Vintage Kramer. He's a great guitar player and loves to build guitars from parts. he'll find a cheap guitar with quality hardware (like original Floyd's), buy/trade for them, then build his own.


Oh yeah - it freaking plays like a mo-fo.

That's awesome, great looking guitar. 5150 was always my favorite VH guitar.

Looks kinda 80s, though.

Just kidding. Easily one of the most recognizable guitars in history. The original EVH guitar was an atomic bomb on rock guitar.

Very cool guitar. Thanks for the pics.

Very nice. I always preferred EVH's 'brown' sound over his later 90's sound when he was using Peavey and Ernie Ball guitars (although I'm sure it was driven more by his amp and effects processor).

Thanks! I got 3 of them from Santa and completed my guitar room after Christmas (paint, hang guitars, etc).

The 5150 is now in the place of the N4 on the right of the acoustic, and the N4 is on a wall opposite the acoustic.

I've actually always preferred the sound on For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Too difficult to replicate. I think he ran stereo to two different amps, one of which is running an Evantide with the bazillion things its capable of doing. The other amp was basically dry.

Too expensive to recreate.
