    Love it
    Me too. This is the 4,000th thread on this Forume: his gear and pickups. Again, I loving hearing the different interpretations.
    Guitars: 2006 Custom Order VOS '59 Reissue w/ MJ 'Duane PAFs'; 2002 '58 Reissue w/ RS Fralin Neck and Timbucker Bridge; 1989 Clapton Strat with Chubtone '63's; 1994 Tom Dodson Custom Strat with 14 year-old Hot Rails, and Classic Stack; 1991 Tele Plus Deluxe w/ Tremelo and Dually Red-Lace Sensors

    Duncan Strat Pickups I've Tried: Hot Rails, 5/2's, Classic Stack, Antiquity I's & AII's, PGn and PGb, '59n and '59b, Standard Custom, Sreamin Deamon, various Antiquities & MJ Custom PAFs.

      IF eddie used the custom-custom i was not told that by him?
      he insists that VH used a overwound PAF that seymour wound for him from a 61' gibson PAF.
      eddie did use a duncan 59 in one kramer guitar.
      can you tell me what record(s) did eddie use the custom custom on?

      Just a point of interest....any and every 335 p-up from the early 60's I have had the luck of playing, seeing and finding, has been wound to around 9k+ I personally feel Gibson overwound PAF's for these guitars.

          put on ERUPTION and really listen to that tone or the last F# chord in "atomic punk" when that marshall is begging for mercy and THEN try to still tell me it was BONE STOCK!
          I now for a fact that it was modded.
          the MXR EQ ( upside down frown) and Phaser surely added a bunch of gain. You listen to live boots from that era Halen and you will hear a different sound. The studio and production had a huge amount to do with that tone. Tell me what the mods were? . There were no added pre tubes and no major component changes. The specs of Ed's amp reflect stock values consistant with the 67 amps. A cap here and there, a switch from shared to split cathode can hardly be called mods. A tweak sure, but a mod? no way.

          As far as Ed and influence. He changed how the guitar was played, only a handful of players in history can lay claim to that. His credit is 1000 percent deserved. That band changed rock.
