Guitar Nut Thursday with Radio 45’s Aaron Greer
Guitar Nut Thursday! Words from r45’s lead ax-man.
One of the few “stage” guitars I’m using for R45 shows is my newly acquired EVH Frankenstein Relic. I’ve always been fascinated by EVH’s original striped “Frankie,” and when I learned that these were being produced in solid colors rather than the famous striped versions, I knew I had to have one.
Now, you might be wondering, “Why not a striped one? Why not have a copy of what Eddie himself had?” Well, I love guitars that are reminiscent of famous players’ instruments, but not exact duplicates. So, owning this guitar is a tip of the hat to Eddie, but not an attempt to replicate his look and sound. Personally, I adore the red finish because it’s synonymous with R45 branding, but, if I’m being honest, I had a hankering for a black one, ha.
This guitar is quite loud, and you’ll definitely hear it if you come to see us. We hope to see you at an R45 show soon!
Later, Aa
