So After EVH died I decided to build a version of 5150 in its heyday, it was something I always was going to do at some point but never got around to it. Ed was a HUGE influence on me . I spent months as a teenager transcribing and learning the guitar on VH1 with an old record player that had 16RPM on it. This dropped it down about an octave and made it easy to hear all the notes. This is another story though so back to now.
I was browsing Musikraft's site when I saw that they were selling rough CNC only Pacer bodies so that clinched it. I ordered one and a neck as I haven't the time to scratch build one. I did consider converting an ESP 22 fret strat neck (this is what the original is) but time said get the Muskraft at the same time.
So I put the order together with a couple of changes over the original for my taste and practicality. The change to the neck was only radius and frets to my taste. Jim (owner of Musikraft) I'm pretty sure has seen 5150 in person and there parts are excellent, very good attention to detail.
