Edward Van Halen's guitars
ERNIE BALL MUSIC MAN EVH MODEL
This guitar itself is very similar to its successor (the Peavey Wolfgang) in many ways but has a little higher pitched tone and a slightly brighter sound that corresponds more to the earlier EVH sound, while the Wolfgang has a "warmer" tone. This makes sense when you consider the evolution of the VH sound. So as far as which guitar is better when it comes to tone... one would think that totally depends on which tone you like.
