Ed's color scheme and band logo
My apologies if this has been discussed to death in times past - I am not familiar with all the details of things over the years with the band.
The original Frankenstrat and colors that made Ed famous - see below. It appears that somewhere along the way he completely stopped using the guitar with the colours. I might be way off but when I seen them in Toronto and other clips from shows, etc. all he uses is either a straight black, creme, or plain white color.
Any reason why the Franstrat color scheme was ditched?

Also, what is up with the logo. It appears there is like 38 different variants of the band logo - is this just another of the many dysfunction with the band or is there a reason behind it?Last edited by GlennyVH; 08.15.19 at 07:55 AM.

Ed's color scheme and band logo
He stopped using the Frankenstrat by 1984 when he started endorsing Kramer. When he stopped endorsing Kramer, he just didn’t want to play striped guitars anymore I guess, although he had striped versions of his EBMM and Wolfgang from time to time. People just change.
Not really sure what you mean about the band logo. The band has only had two different style logos. The wings version with Dave, and the rings version with Sam.Webmaster

Ed's color scheme and band logo
The logo was flat, then curved, then wrapped around, then flat again.
