Eddie has had a few signature models over the years (Ernie Ball, Peavey, Fender) and I have lusted after each and every one of them. But as I look around at different site, blogs, and forums I see that many of you have a very specific idea of what one is best.

So tell me, what is the best EVH? And why??

With their 1978 eponymous debut, Van Halen simultaneously re-wrote the rules for rock guitar and hard rock in general. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen redefined what electric guitar could do, developing a blindingly fast technique with a variety of self-taught two-handed tapping, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and effects that mimicked the sound of machines and animals. It was wildly inventive and over-the-top, equaled only by vocalist David Lee Roth, who brought the role of a metal singer to near performance art standards.  Together, they made Van Halen into the most popular American rock & roll band of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, and, in the process, set the template for hard-rock and heavy metal for the ‘80s. Throughout the ‘80s, it was impossible not to hear Van Halen’s instrumental technique on records that ranged from the heaviest metal to soft-pop.
