So I've had renewed interest in Steve's guitar playing of late and noticed that he has Ernie Ball strings AND guitar endorsments listed on his website.

I was wondering if anybody knew what model(s) Steve has been associated with from the EBMM guitar stable. (I'm guessing Axis?!??! :cool: )

Any ideas?
 
Axis and EVH if memory serves me correct.

Great guitar player!!!!

I love that flash file, I copied that so I could run it whenever I wanted to.

Steve is one of the best. I have always loved his playing, and he can shred with the best of them... but can also show restraint and good song writing. He's definitely one of my biggest influences. ;)

I have the Merry Axemas album and my favorite track is SS's version of "Do You Hear What I Hear?". The accoustic part is very nice, then he kicks into a quick jam with all his signature licks. It rocks.

I always liked the way he played on Billy Idol's Rebel Yell. Real tough and tight rhythm.

The acoustic version rocks as well!!
 
i believe if memory servers me correct ed sent both stevie and jerry cantrell 5150 stacks and a ebmm evh model. i like steve's playing to. i had his signature model with washburn and it was a neat guitar. headstock had a six in line but similar look to a ebmm and neck was nice.
 
i saw him when he was playing for vince neil in '93...they were opening for VH!

steve was playing a purple EBMM EVH!!!!!

AWESOME!!! :D
 
The new(current) Billiy Idol album is AMAZING. The sound Steve has is hugue and the best rock sound i have heard in a long time....bold statement, but (for me) true.

I have one of his early ('86) model II's and it rocks. Found the origional HB pup too week so replaced it with a screamin demon......wow.

The Flamenco-a-go-go cd is out of this world.

There was a signed chrome plated axis floating around for a while.

Cheers,

I have his old hamer model (with kahler... not floyd). cool guitar, bad finish.

and I can't believe nobody's mentioned the 3 words that EVERYBODY should associate with steve stevens:

black light syndrome !! that album is EXCELLENT!! the way I understood it, steve recorded it with EVH models. bozzio on drums... levin on bass... but the second BLS album just didn't have the same... "thing" that the first did - but once you hear # 1, it's pretty obvious that it's a hard act to follow.
 
I have him playing on one song from the album Submarine by one of the Bissonnette brothers (the drummer----Matt I believe or Gregg???) and that song rocks. He even pulled out his ray gun during the solo which had me grinning from ear to ear.
 
Steve Stevens has always been one of my favorites. I picked up the new Guitar World buyer's guide and it has a cd-rom with it that has Steve demoing the Fender G-DEC amp which he's using backstage. The guy's chops are amazing, he was shredding, and he also played some great sounding jazz too, what a player.
