      Many guitarists copy the Eruption solo, but when it comes to the famous hummingbird picking part, most guitarists put too much strain on their arms and end up with a terrible sound.

    I work at a guitar center in Michigan Southfield and I’ve sold out our store of spark products like 3 times. I swear by em. I’ve had a kemper for years and although I do love that thing and it’s still my main gig amp I ADORE the sparks. The tones you can get out of them are pretty mind blowing. I definitely recommend it to anyone starting out for the versatility so you can have some fun when you get frustrated learning. Or for those that have been playing for decades for some killer tones and pedals/effects at your fingertips so you can play along to your fav songs. These products are 🔥

    honestly you can just build a replica on your own for under 1000 depending on how accurate you wanna get, so paying 15k for just a mashup of regular priced guitar parts that was started being built by at the time just a guitarist before his band was successful sounds insane to me. he didn't have some crazy knowledge of building a guitar that we don't have, if you're good with your hands and do enough research you can build an almost 1:1 replica of it depending how much time and money you put into it (still less than a grand at most, if you're gonna go for exact parts like the body from the same year and same type of wood that's gonna cost a good amount more like around $1600 but still that's way less expensive than these replicas which are new wood, which isn't as authentic as if you were making it to like feel like you just bought it off eddie or something. idk i know that was a big rant ab it but i just hate how expensive the replicas are (yeah i know there's the $2000 ones you can get from the evh brand series guitars but i have so many problems with that guitar that i could type a whole other essay about)

    Eddie said that these were much nicer than the real Frankenstrat. Which isn't surprising i guess.
