"The guitar of my dreams; well engineered with great harmonics, and Fender quality"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
The EVH Stripes Circle guitar is the guitar of my dreams. I found one at guitar center that had been on the shelf for six days. I played it for an hour, and discovered that this is designed with 1. MORE HARMONICS; This feature alone is worth picking up. This guitar was playing strong harmonics on the 9th fret, and strong volume harmonics on the 4th, 4.5, and on the 9th. I put it on layaway, and thought that night , "I wonder what other harmonics I can get?" I started tapping harmonics on the 2nd Fret, and then tapped double harmonics up on the 10th fret, back onto the 12th, and there are harmonics all over this guitar. 2. The guitar resonates bar chords as you move up the fretboard?!? HOW? OMG?? because its an amazing guitar. 3. Ease of fretboard, I consulted a guitar artisan prior to purchase who is not affiliated with the store I purchased from. Chip's music in Jax gets high marks for knowing a guitar; He said they were great. Nuff said! 4. It is a real fender. It can bring out more Fender sounds like the strat, and will ease into a Carlos Santana style, as much as Stevie Ray Vaughn. 5. Ability and ease of use into the higher octaves from the 13th fret up. 6. Floyd rose 7. Tuning at the bridge allows for easy transition into natural chorus or flange. 8. Easy to make Solfeggio harmonics with slight tuning alterations. If I sit and brainstorm, I will find more.

Musical Background:

Played music with high school garage band, picked it back up in my twenties and thirties to play for Church organizations. Jam

Musical Style:

rock, reggaeton, improvisation on themes, blues, definitely R&B; gospel. I am looking to experiment more with solfeggio scales
