Question:
I am looking for a used Kramer 5150 Eddie Van Halen guitar which was sold in the mid to late eighties. It has the trademarkstriping on it and if anyone is selling one or knows of anyone who is selling one
Answer:
You'd be better off making your own from parts (or a basket case) and spray paint, like the original. I've built a few, with different paint jobs. The Kramer EVH 5150 guitars that I saw/played were mediocre guitars at best, with (IMO) dead necks, and cheap everything else. And the paint job was a piss-poor approximation of EVH's original. It didn't even go around the back side, and no reflectors or anything. I was terribly disappointed.
