I remember the first time we got together for a rehearsal it was like, “Let’s just get together and play some songs.” Between Ben’s basement and another practice studio he had, the first couple times it was just like, “Man, this is fun.” For all of us, we hadn’t felt that kind of spark in a while and that has been able to laminate everything else w...
Even as we were coming into the last album Dark Before Dawn, there was still a lot of newness there. At the time, Ben had been off for about five years so he had the majority of the stuff written so we came in and helped him round off some corners and finished the album pretty quickly and hit the road.
I was with PRS for about 11 years prior to ESP and they were great. When I started in the early 2000s, they were making some of the better instruments out there and I still think that generation of PRS guitars were some of the best ones they made. When we came to the reincarnation of Breaking Ben and because of change and personnel and things like ...
I lived in Nashville for 16 years so I knew a lot of techs and couple guys said, “You gotta check out ESP.” Chris Canella who was A&R over there at the time [now at Dean guitars], he created the EVH brand with Eddie when he was with Fender. We took a chance and went there and everything was great.
The last two years out of necessity and a need for reinvention, there were certain things that I needed. We don’t play to a click live so if you have a tremolo pedal, there’s no way to sync that. If the pedal is turned on, the oscillators are already going and I can’t synch that because we’re not on a metronome. So I started doing the Eddie Van Hal...
I tried all these different buttons and switches, pickups. I was putting some money in these guitars and with ESP I had talked to them about doing a custom shop guitar to retrofit some of the things I was doing in my other guitars and just have them build me one. But because of supplies, it would have been about 18 or 19 months.
I needed something before that so I said, “OK, I’m gonna buy what I want. Nothing against any company or whatever but maybe I should get back to my excitement when I started playing Strats and G&Ls. I found a baritone scale Subsonic Strat online and since then I’ve been buying the guitars I want and working with Fender a little bit. I’ve been playi...
They’re all pretty hot-rodded with [Seymour Duncan] JB humbuckers in the bridge; stoptails. I like the scale and the radius of the Fender necks.
Yeah. Hendrix, Blackmore of course. Van Halen was part of the Strat sound and it’s not necessarily a single-coil sound. Also spending 15 years in Nashville and seeing those guys do different things behind the nut up top and bending strings. I really became a fan of the neck pickup and for me on a Strat, it’s hard to match that sound. When I think o...
I think of much cleaner stuff like Clapton and even SRV. Another thing that really influenced me was a lot of stuff from the ‘80s where you get a lot of that smacky, bright sound you get with a bolt-on neck and almost all my necks are maple necks to make ‘em brighter to get that punctuation thing. For me as the lead player in the band and especiall...
