I’m playing around with the idea of trying to create my own custom version of the Eddie Van Halen 5150 guitar. Basically, that would mean I would be trying to turn a new Kramer guitar like this one:
Into something like one of these from the classic Van Halen days:
I’m finding situations where I need a second good guitar anyway. So this would be a somewhat inexpensive way to get a neat looking custom paint job at the same time. I still have to decide where I’m going to get the guitar and if I’m going to change any of the pickups or hardware out while I’m painting, but when I do get started with it I’ll be posting pictures here of the whole transformation.
I still say that flames would be better.
So where are the pics?
Im doing the exact same thing
except mine is going to be black and yellow
