Dweezil, the "Rasta" is indeed non-other than the repainted "Unchained". That fact has remained obscured for decades, but that's why the "Unchained" was never seen again after the 1981 Fair Warning tour! It was repainted for the 1982 Diver Down tour! If you're interested, I can post some pics that prove it.
I know he used it on Unchained... Thats why in EVH circles it is simply refered to as 'The Unchained'. And alot of people refer (wrongly) to a different guitar from the same period as the 'See Ya' guitar.
100% certain!! Alot of folks used to think that 'See Ya' was written on the back of a different guitar, but all you need to do is simply follow where the stripes on the front follow around to the back! And you can certainly tell that it is the 'circles' guitar.. (Just take a CLOSE look ot the black area by the neck.. You can still see where the sriping was.. Ed is not known for being too precise when he paints something!)
Are you sure about that? I always wondered what happened to that guitar? You can see him play it in the Hear About It Later video, or was it Unchained?
Just a little FYI here, but that is the SAME guitar that used to be painted black and white with circles on the front and the words 'Bye See Ya Later' on the back!!
I always thought this was one of the more interesting looking Eddie guitars.
It's the same guitar he used in the Oakland 81 Unchained live video right?
It used to be black and white.
Love it.
One of the coolest EVH guitars! :)
It has got to be worth more if it comes with an actual DNA sample !! How many EVH guitars does Dweezil own ?
Found another photo of this guiatr in my guitar heroes photo book.
I'm Still patiently ( since you first announced it years ago) waiting to hear even a snippet of that magnum opus Dweezil...Please release it soon
Just sent you my home address to ship the guitar
Looking forward to plugging that bad boy in !
What a beautiful instrument. D**n!
that is a really cool guitar, and the fact that it was the "unchained" guitar is INCREDIBLE! many kudos to Jimi for all the detective work!
Wow...I always wondered what happened to the "Unchained" guitar...thanks for posting that!
That one is cool !
I'll post some shortly.I first received that info from a very reliable EVH guitar source.
Please do post some photos. I love that stuff.

(See my profile pic for an image of Ed holding this guitar showing the words on the back..)
