Hey BP, what's the story behind this one?

[whitestrat]

No, I'm not talking about Yngwie here. I'm talking about what's hanging behind him on the wall. That looks like a guitar made for Seymour Duncan? Tell us about it!

There's a signature on the headstock. Is it an AL?

 

[Grand Wazoo]

if you blow the pic up it looks like an EVH signature, oh and Yngwie looks like a wax museum statue.

Looks like an EVH sig to me as well.

But it appears to not have a locking nut ...

 

[GoKart Mozart]

Maybe it's a hardtail version?

Is there anyone on the planet who looks more 80's than Yngwie?

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Looks like Yngwie's got a chip on his shoulder

Well he certainly doesn't look happy in that pic, he's got the right hump!

Well, at least he's shed a few pounds in the last 5 or 6 years. Those puffy pirate shirts don't look too good with a big gut hanging out the bottom.

I asked that same question a while back. Here's the answer from Evan Skopp, whom that office belongs to and the is seated gentleman in the photo.

To save the folk going to other site...

In the mid-'90s, Sterling Ball and Edward Van Halen collaborated on a charity golf tournament which was held at the Lake Sherwood Country Club in Westlake Village. Seymour Duncan sponsored one of the holes. The Seymour Duncan-sponsored hole was marked as such by very cool sign that was really a Music Man guitar neck, with "Seymour Duncan" painted on it. I stayed at the hole and greeted all the golfers before they played the hole and I gave them trinkets like Seymour Duncan bottle openers and such and joked around with them and told them what Seymour Duncan was, for the few that didn't know already. That day, I met a ton of big name celebrities and lots of musicians whose names you'd know.

Anyway, when the tournament was over, I picked up the hole marker and took it home with me. After all, we paid for it when we sponsored the hole. For about 15 years, the neck sat in the corner of my office. When some dodgy person would enter our lobby and freak out the receptionist, me and a few other guys would get a discrete page and we'd come down to the lobby check out the situation. And I was always holding that guitar neck.

Then, last year when Frank Falbo started working here, he said, "Why don't you make that into a guitar?" I had never thought of it before. The body and bridge are actually OLP. And Frank cut a custom pickguard. The guitar is fretless and it's set up with a pair of Blackouts and it's strung with .008s, on account of it not having a trussrod. It's super hard to play, but it looks pretty cool and it's definitely a conversation starter.

Thanks for asking!

All that jewelery has got to hurt when it gets stuck in his chest hair.

Ive also always found it weird how can play guitar with all the rings and other stuff he wears whilst playin guitar. Im amazed it doesnt mess up his playing.
