Jimmy playing Van Halen "Panama" Inside Ed's Vault!

[gazzas2112]

Very good got sound right on the button...

[dirtythirdscout]

Fucking rocked man! Best one I've heard minus Mr. Van Halen's.

[emanhacker]

@Blink182PunkRocker frankinstine strat replicas by fender cost 24,000 and only 300 were made

[Blink182PunkRocker]

hey man! where did you get all those guitars!!?? how mush are the eddie replicas?? i love it!

[bigden25]

cool man...I like it

[2xthe15s]

i think jimmy still lives in hi moms basement

[flashback917]

@slag5150 how much are you selling it for?

[Gay4Roth]

@flashback917 2K.

[walkacrossgeorgia]

not sure all the fuss, the intention is there and it's not like he ain't playin hell outta things .. let's not split hairs

[MrNashguitar1]

Ok, he's a serious fan with a good job.

[conall1234]

this is out of time

[PutItAway101]

The whole idea of rhythm guitar is to have some rhythm, not this leaden plodding

[SuperTonywill]

Who is jimmy

[PutItAway101]

@SuperTonywill You've heard of Top Jimmy? Well this is bottom Jimmy

[Dennizzz119]

Rofl, if you want this to look any good, please stop making mistakes..

Where are the burning marks of ed's cigarettes? and the one at the tuners especially?

[panama69er]

what color red did u use?

[Sean2592]

And also for those of you who don't know the original Frankenstrat or frankenstein was buried with Dimebag Darrell in 2004 so this is obviously untrue

[TheMadMusicMan]

@Sean2592 Why don't you learn what so speak of before you go posting dumb comments! Ed burried the Yellow and Black with him, NOT the Frankenstein.

[steaminsteveh]

@Sean2592 it was the black and yellow bumble bee not the frankenstrat. he retired the frankenstrat and uses wolfgangs and frankie reps made by fender's chip ellis

[jgoldston96]

@Sean2592 That was the bumblebee.

[PutItAway101]

@Sean2592 Unfortunately you appear to be an ignoramus. Please refrain from further comments on youtube. Thank you for your co-operation

[Sean2592]

@PutItAway101 you know what dude i have a job i have to PAY for my own shit so don't act like your above me just because i made one fucking mistake, i promise you make flaws too, so don't piggy back on what another guy has already corrected me on. So why don't you go mind your own fucking business and do something with your life

[PutItAway101]

@Sean2592 Seriously WTF does having a job have to do with not knowing about EVH's guitars? You have major problems with logic. I have a job and pay for my own stuff too, but whoop-de-shit. Who doesn't? You even emphasised the word PAY with capitals, like that's somehow the crux of your argument. Like I said, you should probably give up trying to comment.

[Sean2592]

Gotta ask what kind of strings are on that they look really thin but not too stiff which is what I need

[JoeFarmerFarndonJr]

At leas this is better than the John Mayer version where he cant even get the harmonics lol

[Gogeta2oo2]

too much gain

[Jokieish]

you look you have strong intelect ..... lol

[seanpsmyth1970]

This must be Bottom Jimmy.

[fluffheadify]

Great guitar work....tones are way off.....but way cool...thumbs up....I could not do better....where is Eddie?????....whens the new fuckin album????

[nac00nac]

whether its a joke or not his tone is saintly,

[heyfuckyou1997]

i think eddid van halen might have a little more guitars than that one franken strat 3 kramer replicas and one wolfgang... eddie van halen has more sig guitars than you have guitars in all

[akatsukiamp]

this is a joke guys...calm down.

[Kilooscarromeo]

Whoi the fuck is JImmy?

[AchillesWrath1]

i think Jimmi does a great rendition of panama. especially with no other instruments playing his timing is great. Alot of haters on here i doubt 9 out of 10 of you can play it as good.

[jh881000]

I think jimmi rocks

awesome it's not easy to play panama

[spudgunster]

pretty good replica, but I see no cigarette burns on the headstock :P

[steffyweffy777]

nice playing, hoow long would it take a talented guy with natural ear to learn to play like that ? how many hours a day ?

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

Anyone who would pay $25K to emulate an instrument that the original guy threw together with parts that amounted to a couple of hundred bucks is too dumb to live. Build your own for a couple of hundred bucks and bank $24,800. Fiscal imbecile.

[BlackLabelForLife]

@DoctorLawyerWhatever which is exactly what this guy has done. dumb ass

[Kilooscarromeo]

@DoctorLawyerWhatever HHAHAHAHAHA your sooo right I think they were waiting to see how many suckers would jump for that one. Oh, I'm sure they got a good laugh of the suckers out there. They don't have much in their heads anyways doen't take too much to put them over the top. Great comment you made & thankx

[narumexz]

ii thinks this person is a real fan because is not inside of the eddi´s vault because if you can see on the photots there a photo of eddie stand up with all the guitar on the top of the amp

[narumexz]

ii thinks this person is a real fan because is not inside of the eddi´s vault because if you can see on the photots there a photo of eddie stand up with all the guitar on the top of the amp

[silencestalk]

this guy fingers feel too uptight to me. he needs to relax more.

[AtomicNog]

how much for a paintjob

[OklahomaRockstar01]

man the frankenstrat is a really cheap guitar but the EVH brand jacks the price up by like 4000 dollars lol but they are still really good guitars

but there wasted on rich people not people with talent :(

[NDIrishfan93]

ltd4all how bout you go rage in another place

[Matthijs3476]

Its not THE Frankenstrat.. Some people are just retarded

[mynamis1192]

@Matthijs3476 if its not its a pretty good reproduction

[pirivi]

it sounds like the original one! OMFG!!!

[downincognito76]

extremely cool , a van halen /red sox fan , we are brother my friend , keep on rocking!

[Celmer77]

The Description makes me want to punch myself. Oh my!? Could this guy be any bigger of a tool?!

[crazyawesome68]

so he bought a 25,000 dollar frankenstrat? wow

[bcrichjageraxe]

@crazyawesome68 lol no..obviouslky he built it...easy to tell if u look at a few simple pictures..sides even fender signature is way dirtier then this XD

[MURAH69]

That yellow guitar isnt even around anymore its buried with dime bag Darrel

[GrunesMannchen]

@MURAH69 really?

[MURAH69]

@GrunesMannchen yupyup

[knutdude]

@MURAH69 but he may have made a second one cause he missed it

[ripchuckshuldiner1]

@MURAH69 true that

[auto4union]

That was great i thought ! Why the negativity....? Anyway ! Supersexy superstrats, especially the one you`re playing ! I`d love that guitar ! Even get the "Brown" sound ! Peace Ye`all !!

[evhfrankie]

At the end of the video it sounds like Ed.....Someone says '' 61707'' thumb it up people!

[Pepper2Jason]

Woo Red Sox!

[marineman825]

@Pepper2Jason faggot baseball is gay but yankees is better anyway

[Pepper2Jason]

@marineman825 thanks for the comment hater. i personally dont care for the red sox over other boston sports teams. Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins are having great seasons.

[Davesan2]

who's jimmy and watch face . at 2;38 he looks retarted and just after that he's taking a shit. It looks like it anyways.

[Tonefreak91]

Nice try, but the original Frankenstrat had only 21 frets, not 22.

[havlar234]

THE VIDEO TIME IS 333...DIME LIVES!

[galatonim]

@havlar234 :)

[ChadBurk4420]

@havlar234 Niiiiice.

[loknloll]

i bet you do the white mans over bite when you dance, too.

there is a tension in your playing that really comes across, there is none of that relaxed, flowing liquidity that Van Halen is all about.

but hey, when you eventually realize you can't play like Ed, you can open a museum - nice guitar collection. just don't bother playing them - it spoils the illusion.

[guitars71]

Hey, man! That was awsome! Where did you get the frankenstrat? I'm looking for one, myself.

[TheAlexkru]

not possible at all because the bumblebee was buried w/ dimebag. and the white/black original did not have a locking trem and was made into the red, while, black frankenstrat

[deanihiga]

beautiful guitars

[jimmy99684]

good job 

[musicman11212]

that is the fakest fukcing 5150 amp ever

[johnadorian]

@musicman11212 its the 90's peavy version. before ed was working with fender

[musicman11212]

@johnadorian well this is still a bullshit video

[ltd4all]

Why does Jimmy refer to himself in the third person? Does Jimmy like to do that? Could Jimmy be more of a douche?

[zigg80]

@ltd4all Because its the Jimmy from Seinfeld. Doesnt Itd4all know its the Jimmy? Zigg80 does.

[MsJonasBrosFan69]

@ltd4all MsJonasBrosFan96 thinks that was a very mean thing to say.

[dcca2001ct]

@ltd4all lmao

[slag5150]

@ltd4all I'm selling this axe if anyone is interested! Ping me if so.

[ltd4all]

It's TOTALLY possible, Eddie likes to spend his days waiting just inside his door, for some douche to come knock on his door and ask to jam in his vault.....he does this everyday, and has since 1979.....Usually, he ends up operating the camera, and gives people complete access to every inch of his private property, allowing people to play his priceless guitars (badly) and waste his electricity....It's the kind of guy he is.....

[Mrbrownstoney]

@ltd4all thats my kind of guy where does he live in hollywood or something

[MrDunkJunk]

@ltd4all It wasn't that bad and the guy only tried to be funny.

He can't help it that douchebags like you are on YouTube only to insult other people etc. for trying to make a good video.

I checked out your channel and dude you are just PATHETIC!!! you don't have anything on there.. so who the fuck are you to judge this guy??

[wlj05]

you'd think evh would have a bit more guitars than that!

[verbw002]

Eddie doesn't use peddles, so unless you took em there, you aint there, especially after the Bumblebee was buried, the guitars being too new, etc lol

[DillonBerkley]

@verbw002 uhhh wrong. Eddie uses all kinds of pedals. Flanger, Chorus, Phase shifter etc...

[VanHalenWorshiper]

@verbw002 dont u fucking know it's a joke bro!

[TheMadMusicMan]

@bytebull Yeah, but he added the neck pickup and 3-way switch when he painted with the red. Very limited knowledge of wiring.

[jfr04]

excellent

[dagbuss123]

What type of amp do you play through?

PLEASE ANSWER!!!

AWSOME cover btw!

[VanHalenWorshiper]

@dagbuss123 5150 combo

[muddypuddlerules]

ure not there because the bumblebee is buried with dimebag darrel.

[crackawise]

this guy is as close to note-for-note as I've ever heard, he slows off tempo here and there but is still amazing.

[sk8theimpossible]

how do you have all these dude?!

[Rocker99JD]

wuz that EVH talking in the backround at the end?

[theShowStopper321]

Nope, this is just a wealthy fan

[maliceheart18]

u lie!!!! that guitar ur playing is no real replica!!!!!!! lol come on man :D

[waliuxD]

0.01 my first impresionwas: :O

[guitarwizard95]

the white guitar in the background is the "original" frankenstrat. the red white and black one is the same guuitar but with schwiin red bicycle paint. nice try

[coltsuperocean10]

Good job fella!! I like that a lot!

[marineman825]

fake, the black and white guitar was the red / black / white frankie , the black / yellow was buried with dimebag and , there are no cigarette burns on headstock like original and that looks nothing like eddies studio

[Behindspace90]

@marineman825

No shit, Sherlock. ;-)

[Gordfozzfoster]

Lookin at $50K worth of guitars there Jimmy. Where you get the $? Kinda like those Chinese kids who'd come into my music store with mom and dad and buy a PRS or two, Boogie stack as a starter package and then go upstairs and buy a $250K Steinway piano. I have student who is a gangst'a and he has all of the ESP signature models. Eddie Van Halen was poor and built Frank coz itz all he could afford.

[tagger5532]

is that the $25000 frankenstrat. looks like it it has the quarter under the tremlo?

either u fukin rock. If eddie dies u might replace him

[XxSuperSass69xX]

fuckin amazing!!!!!!!

[guitardjoe]

yeah... absolutely good! ! !. really good times to hear this playing guitar.... : )

[stevlachance1]

Where did you get the frankenstrats??? I want one!!!!! lol You are very lucky!!! :-)

[eddiehalenvan]

yeah nice try but thats not the 5150 studio...

[jgoldston96]

nice playin but there are several ways to tell this is fake...the black and white guitar is the same guitar as the frankenstrat just painted differently and the yellow and black one was burried with dimebag

[TrevorRules98]

@midmike994 even thuogh I am a true vh fan a frankenstein replica is a little pricy.

for me all i have to do is drive to vallyfair and win a strat type guitar . easy as done

[midmike994]

now double the speed and there you go, panama lol

[rock9122]

not possible he buryed the yellow and black one with dimebag

[dli42395]

dang, how many frankenstrat replicas do u hav?

[greenxday0308]

it's your home made, right?

awesome cover by the way

thumbs up (Y)

[camaro397]

no offense but thats bull shit and eddies cigert burns would have been there plus that guitar is no longer at his house he donated it to the rockin roll hall of fame i went and saw it on desplay plus the 5150 mark isnt there then there is a missing pick up

[TheBlackOctane]

thats not his place, cause the headstocks different on the red frankenstien to that, plus the red guitar is the white one, its just a later model of it

[legionares1928]

too slow

[TrevorRules98]

thanks

[rokenrol17]

pro guitarist

[guithero11]

the black and yellow guitar didnt say charvel on the headstock

[evhfrankie]

@guithero11 the yellow one isn't even around anymore....it was buried with DimeBag Darrel

[MuggerFugger665]

is he still in jail?

[jeffdisario]

what a fucking sound!! great!!

[AHMADF93]

FUCK

[slasher7555]

imma guess you built yours guitars? or had someone build them for you?

-

It's not the 25,000$ replica since that one was 100% accurate with the cigg burns which urs is missing.

[1313motley1313]

@slasher7555 the real version is not accurate but 3 of them. the rest were made BY MACHINE not by Wayne Charvel's hands. 3 of them are closer, made by hand.

[benboyleman]

Dude, nice playing :D (Y) And nice guitars!

[wrinkledquarter]

Got the brown sound down.  That is hard to do.

[AmazinGuitarist4u]

It's not his real vault. The black n white guitar isn't around. It was made into the frankinstrat..

[revchild]

@AmazinGuitarist4u neither is the black and yellow buried with Dime..

[monochromeEARTH]

@revchild THE BLACK AND WHITE WAS MADE INTO THE BALCK AND YELLOW WICH IS BURRIED WITH DIMEBAG, sorry caps was i hit and i was to lazy tp retype that

[revchild]

@monochromeEARTH no the b/w guitar became the frankie..check your eddie interview with matty bruck on youtube..blak/yellow was always black yellow..thats the steps you take to make a frankie..b/w first then retape spray red ..frankie..

[evhfrankie]

The Reflectors are put in the wrong spot.......the relicing is wrong on the back...the neck is one piece....it dont have a rod marking on the neck

[reints74]

Nice collection! You're a true fan

[Syklenut41]

Only a true Van Halen fan would spend that much

on Ed's guitars.

[drew307]

if you were really in eddies "vault" ( not that he has one lol) there wud be so many daggum guitars and franky look alikes you would never know whats what. there some pics floating around somewhere of inside 5150 and the amount of guitars is totally insane.

[NickMercurio]

nice $20,000 guitar.

[jackstroem1324]

@NickMercurio it's not the 20,000 $ guitar no cig burns and it's not roadworn

[TrevorRules98]

not possible eds orignal frankie has cigarette burns on the headstock

[MeanStreet1981]

@TrevorRules98 Your first clue should have been the Van Halen 1 guitar in the back ground along with the factory finished 5150 and the fact that the white lines are way too friggin bright on the Frankenstein and the wrong reflectors too!

[MrMauoo]

And he just use one guitar. @TrevorRules98

[midmike994]

@TrevorRules98 and you can buy a replica for 25-grand, with the burns in place!

[KingdraDeck]

@TrevorRules98 plus his guitar was last seen in shreds and there's no mark from the original sticker he put on the headstock 

[sebasredspecialfan]

@TrevorRules98 And this looks too shiny, too new.. and anybody in their right mind knows it's a replica

[TrevorRules98]

@sebasredspecialfan good job pointing that out also the white paint is not "aged" enough

[Doug1996104]

@TrevorRules98 seems too clean too, haha

[musicman11212]

@TrevorRules98 ,Good someone else who pay atention

[MrBarrance]

if anybody can catch what he says at the end with afreaky smile is that now hes busted and is looking at 6 or 7......years

[evhfrankie]

@MrBarrance I think he's one of Ed's friends and he gave him some replicas.Ed was video tapin it

[evhfrankie]

@MrBarrance he also said 6 1 7 0 7 at the end of the video

[azazael07]

Video - Far too much gain. Sounds like a metal version.

[baconman385]

WTF?! Nice guitars!

[zoog1234]

This is so fake I have been to eddies house and all he has is a studio and guitars laying every where so don't belive that this guy has been to his vault. And the frankinstrat doesn't have a d-tuna.

[MYCHEMICALHAMSTERS]

as a matter of fact, Eddie VH has a licsensed D-Tuna that he uses, clips right onto a stock Floyd... Eddie himself uses it... :)

Consider yourself PWND

[Sean2592]

Thats Eddie Van Halen's Vault from what i understand the only one thats not real is the one in his hands

[chazzman1900]

those are pretty close guitar

[alabar1234]

WOOOOOOOW NICE AXES DUDEE!

[jacksonfreak]

The article i read about the making of the Franky replica said Chip ellis worked at Charvel., Wihich coincidentally is in the same building as Fender just at the other end. So maybe its just semantics.

[NickGuitarMalfara13]

great job i c the pick of destiny

[5150RDH]

Nice guitars Jimmy!

[oneshot6string85]

sounded really good. nice guitars and gear

[jacksonfreak]

The yellow and black, (bumble bee as its been called by his fans) was buried with Dime bag Darrel, and it didnt have the EVH logo on the headstock. As for the comment about Eddie playing Kramers. The orignal version of franekstien was a Charvel. The EVH replica was made by Chip Ellis of the Charvel Custom shop. Kramer wasnt until after diver down. Or there abouts. Plus Eddie doesnt use Boss pedals. lol Nice playing tho. really close to Eddies tone.

[5150RDH]

If Eddie was on the same budget as the average guitar player, he'd probably use BOSS pedals too...lol

[TheMadMusicMan]

Ellis is actually at the Fender Custom Shop. Not Charvel.

[azazael07]

The Frankenstrat was NOT a Charvel.

[jacksonfreak]

If you mean the original Franky. Eddie bought the body and neck from Wayne Charvel whom had gotten the parts from Lin Elsworth of boogie bodies. Wayne was putting his logo on those guitars. There for it was a Charvel. If you mean the reissue. Yeah that was too. According to the article in guitar player.

[hyde9318]

@azazael07 Well, not to blaze, but if you are an EVH fan, you should know that the original frakenstein was a charvel body with a fender neck and random parts that Eddie found all different places. So, yes. It Was technically a Charvel.

Not a bad cover, but you should pick up the pace on certain parts. dont let every single note ring, but instead, pinch a couple of them off to keep that "Live" feel that he always had. He never played the same way twice.

[azazael07]

No it wasnt a Charvel....

Wayne Charvel did not make his own bodies at the time, he would source them from Boogie Bodies and sometimes Schecter

It wasnt a Fender neck either. Neck was by Lynn Ellsworth of Boogie Bodies.

[evhfrankie]

@hyde9318 He Used a Fat Strat body,not a Charvel body

[TheMadMusicMan]

@evhfrankie It was an SSS body made by Wyane Charvel who was making bodies for Fender at the time. Eddie chisled out the rear cavity for the humbucker.

[evhfrankie]

@TheMadMusicMan so techically...it's both
