I was today years old when I learned that Eddie used/made 2 different 5150 guitars. I just never noticed the differences before.
1. The OG Kramer Beretta shape (offset Strat shape with thinner top horn) that is on Live Without a Net and is the most copied version; and
2. A more traditional strat-shaped one he used for the Panama and When its Love videos, and on tour on 2004. Looks like he had it around 1983. Note the black paint flecks near the input jack area not on the OG.
Strat-style 5150
