Taping after Eddie
Ok, we have a tapping thread going. What I want to know is, what about TAPING? Anyone have the balls to tape up or stripe up their guitar after Eddie came on the scene? I'm talking about big name players, not us amateurs. I guarantee almost all of us who post in this forum at least tried our hand at striping a guitar. I got one right in front of me now that I did when I was 14. Black with yellow stripes spray painted on. Looks pretty cool, but the guitar is a serious piece of shit, totally unplayable now, so it's just a show piece.
I know Zakk has his bullseye guitar and Randy Roads had one done up with a design I forget now. What about other name players? Anyone see one of these guys with an Eddified axe? Much love to EVH, he's always been such an innovator. We miss you Ed!

Okay did some research. This appears to be Rick's SNL appearance in 1981 and the guitar player is once again using the VH II guitar. Enjoy!

That's pretty funny actually. That guitar player is a really really bad ripoff of Ed, right down to the clothes and haircut. I'm Rick James, bitch! That dude was one twisted fuck.

What's even odder, in 1981 Ed Van Halen was not what one would consider a household name, ya know? Popular amongst musicians, yet who else?

I have seen photos of Zakk Wylde playing a black-and-white striped guitar, but I can't remember if it was one of the newer Charvels or not. There was also a photo of Rivers Cuomo holding a 5150-style Kramer in a guitar magazine a few years back.
