It’s funny that Chip says he discovered VH from the 1984 album. I knew someone just like that. He’d never heard of them until the 1984 album, probably because he was much younger than me, and he asked me what other VH albums he should get and I so proudly told him to get every album before 1984 and get ready for the ride of your life! Still makes me smile to this day imagining him getting his mind blown by so many awesome songs!

My cousin, Jeff Scott(Scozzaro), a well known custom auto painter/striper originally painted the guitar when a young, unknown Eddie walked into his So CA shop and asked him to paint it. Sometime later Jeff was in a market and saw a magazine rack with a photo of Eddie and the guitar he painted, and was shocked to see it.

Roth really was the leader of the band , he gave them direction and motivation. Eddie was the genius , the composer . The heart & soul of the band. Alex was the foundation, him and his brother were the strength & power of Van Halen. Michael was the loyal employee who carried the van halen flag into battle every night . Then sam came and also gave the band direction. We will never see another Van Halen ever imo. One of thee greatest R&R bands to ever exist. R.I.P Ed ...

Actually Alex was the leader from day 1 because he could beat the crap put the rest of them. Wolfgang said "my Dad was never the leader Al was" you an see it when they do interviews. They mostly talk to Eddie and every once in a while Al chimes in and Eddie always nods his head.

I totally agree with Ed. Fender necks and bodies feel WAY better than Les Pauls, but that humbucker is the shyt! I’m SO glad I rented a Les Paul first, and realized I hated how it felt and played. Then I tried a EVH Franky, and said that feels WAY better. Then I geeked out and built my own! Mine is about 90% to what Chips is, at 1/15th the price. Totally happy with it!

I built a lot of balsa wood model airplanes from kid to teen years and learned a lot about masking and spray-painting. This is an interview and to make it interesting, a lot of things have been embellished. Anyone who makes a true replica would have to have the real model to work from, not from photos. In the photo with both of them with three "frankenstrats" you can clearly see that the stripes on the upper horn of the guitar on the left do not match the one in the middle of the photo.

If it seems like these guys are way too excited about some sh!tty old guitar from an old has-been, and maybe not worth all of the time that it actually took to recreate the "frankenstrat". Then you just weren't around during the 70's 80's era of rock. It was truly an amazing time to be alive. And Eddie was considered the "all-time best" guitarist in the world by just about everyone who had a radio back then - Even other great/famous rock guitarists considered him the greatest. This was all before Malmstien and Satrianni were even heard of. And even those cats thought Eddie was the greatest too. And he truly was/ and still is in many respects. I can't think about all of the fuck@d up shit he did to Sammy, and especially, Michael Anthony. That's a whole other subject. This... right now... is a time to remember him for his contribution to rock, and what a magical time it was to be alive. I'm grateful to God to have lived it with the rest of the world.
