Came out good! I'd love to see some clear pics of the guitar...I have thought of doing the same thing with an Epiphone Zakk Wylde mini. I would add mini humbuckers as on the first Petschulat mini-Les Paul...the second one he used for the 1984 tour had full sized humbuckers like yours...Very cool guitar, I can tell you are having fun with with it!
He played a les Paul on occasions. Watch all the videos. Yeah, I get the littles guitars thing. But watch every video related to Evh on little guitars, 1982-present many franken kramers mixed in there assholes.
@dhjet2000 Actually the "mini" Les Paul was given to him at a concert. It wasn't made by a guitar company, but was made by an individual person. I can't remember which show, but he told about it in an interview in Guitar World over 20 years ago.
@justagigolo13 And why is that????? Eddie played a Les Paul on occasion during his club days AND on both the first and second world tours! PLUS, he played a mini Les Paul for this very song on the Diver Down record, on the Diver Down tour and US Festival! Sheesh!
Hey, I want one of each.....he he.......I saw a double neck SG Mini for sale years ago but it was for an AD or Movie Prop. Hand made I read it didn't really play. Still I would like to own one of those SGs, Les Pauls. Telecaster and Strat, Casnio.
@MrTrickShot i have no idea where he got that guitar but there are miniature guitars on sale on websites theyre not high quality but hell theyre mini guitars
hell yeah man hittin that EVH tone just right

To clear up things, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top gave him his Mini Les Paul.
Sorry, but i'm kind of a VH historian, starting back in 78.
