25 most iconic guitars ever

16 Sep 2010

 

Kramer Frankenstrat (1983)
Like many guitarists, Eddie Van Halen made his own axe. He wanted the comfort and lightness of a Strat, with the ballsy tone and high output of Gibson’s humbucker pickups. The distinctive paint job was also Eddie’s own and, while many companies have since replicated it, Kramer was first to do so with EVH's blessing.

The player
Eddie Van Halen double-handedly tapped his way to greatness on his own garage-built axe, but he’s the only person we can rightly attribute with the success of the Frankenstrat.

    I can feel an argument coming on.  No PRS?  No Page double-neck?

    Double neck SG got a mention (see Jimmy Page on the Les Paul page). Interested to see who backs your PRS gripe... any takers?

    PRS? Might as well just bolt a neck onto a £2,000 coffee table. :-P

    You should really leave this stuff (ha ha) to the experts. No PRS? Shame on you, you purveyors of all things shiny and classy.

    Light duty slotted angle shelving is a universal storage system, which can be widely used for working table, working cart, working bench, safety mesh deck and family storage.

    racking and shelving

    The structure of angle shelving is very simple and stable. The major component includes upright post, shelf, corner plate, bolts & nuts.
