EVH « Back to the Future »
Published on 08/03/13 at 00:26In short, the detail will be seen below:
Strat shape, 1 humbucker, 1 volume, pink floyd, plain maple neck with rosewood reported maple jumbo frets, mechanical oil bath, delivered in cardboard, all made in Mexico by Fender with a look that takes us directly into the first half of the 80 days when dominated supreme Mr Eddie Van Halen.
UTILIZATION
First of all I'm a big fan of the master and also has always been a U.S. and a Peavey Wolfgang Peavey Wolfgang special Korean.
With EVH Striped, it is violin side in an intermediate level above and below the Korean luxurious quality of U.S. Peavey. The carton made in mexico reminds us!
Here not luxurious but equally effective wood crate linden (basswood) which we can not discern in the paint if it is 2 or 3 parts. This allows in any case clear that the painting is done in the same way as the original, that is to say, painted with several layers of masking tape. It's beautiful when you see the real guitar (pictures net does not highlight). The paint job is done remarkably, the first good point.
The guitar is very light, which is reassuring with linden (lime has a different density depending on its origin and is sometimes found with fairly heavy guitars on unselected basswoods).
The handle to the compound radius maple 12-16 inches is quatershawn (cut out area), I've seen the most beautiful quatershawn visually but it's still better than the standard maple cutting. It is in two parts, the key is maple reported, what with the two carbon reinforcements ensures good resistance to climate change and compensates for the fact that it is not painted.
His profile is flatter than the back EVH peavey but still keeps the material, which distinguishes it from other shredders sleeves Ibanez prestige style. The sides of the handle are rounded as on old strats, which is definitely a plus for this style of sleeve. So anything is possible, but also blues pyrotechnic game with the thumb on top, that's good. But be careful, the handle is plain, that is to say, unvarnished and sometimes deserve a little bit of sandpaper in 2000 and a lemon oil passage for the preserve. In 1 hour, I had marked the key, but this is normal when it is not varnished.
Anyway, finish level without having to deal with rare woods, it suffers no reproach.
Vibrato is an original Pink Floyd based on the body with the EVH logo to please Eddie (says Mr Pink Floyd himself) and finished with D-tuner to pass the low E in D in less than a second. It would like the agreement to wonder, it sounds great (thank you vibrato brass block). Is this really the original floyd made in germany or one made in Asia? If it is the same as Wolfgang, Mr. Pink Floyd himself guarantee that it is the original floyd. At least for me, it works and sounds just fine.
Electronics: a volume knob (marked tone) EVH brand (manufactured by Bourns) said low friction: it turns almost alone and can raise or lower the volume in a fraction of a second.
SOUNDS
The micro EVH is great, it has a good level of output that allows it to saturate easily and is quite open and airy (spectrum with very good bass and great harmonics) and reacts superbly volume.
It's pretty rare to get beautiful clean tones turning down the volume on a humbucker
THIS IS THE SON VAN HALEN and for me one of the best doubles I know.
For now I use it mostly with an old head Marshall Jmp 2204 and for more modern sounds my old 5150.
OVERALL OPINION
But then it's like?
Well no, perfection is not of this world. Already because the guitar deserves a good set once out of the box:
The handle was very well resolved and did not move while having undergone differences in temperature and humidity important for 1 month (thank you the carbon reinforcements) but against the action was worthy of a cheap Chinese guitar that is to say, the ropes 3 mm of the neck.
After the overthrow of the handle adjusted correctly by placing a hold of the thickness of a business card in half the handle, and a small height adjustment Floyd, let's go for a war machine. Except now I still have two frets to allow me to adjust specific bends in the 18th box. My luthier will do. I note though that the settings I made in terms of height of the strings are very low (1mm at the 12th fret bass and treble) to promote a game to Van Halen, but this is not a guitar made for that?
So almost without fault, a great quality but still in short of Peavey Wolfgang étaitent really a top level violin (but 4-5 times more expensive too). on the other hand in sound and taking hand, I prefer the EVH striped, which sounds much more direct.
And when you look at the price paid for the EVH: 589 euros for me, you say for once that this is a guitar that should be sold twice and it would still be a bargain!
