SHAPES” 1981
Known to the fans as the “SHAPES” guitar, Eddie debuted this guitar to the world on the 1981 tour cycle for the FAIR WARNING album.
Ever the experimentalist, this guitar and its counterpart the “CIRCLES” guitar varied from his previous builds in the composition of the woods used in the construction and body thickness. Also new was the implementation of the newly developed locking tremolo system which was in its infancy at the time as a new development in the evolution of the electric guitar.
Eddie would prove to be the pioneer and universal ambassador of the locking tremolo system, now a defacto commonplace in guitar design.
This guitar also represented a return to use of the white with black colors in its graphic design as used in the original guitar he used in the beginning of his career adorned in white with black stripes and well known to fans as the original “SUPER STRAT”.
Eddie played this guitar on stage on his last tour with Van Halen in 2015.
