So the black Les Paul Eddie plays with the number 5 on it...I suspect he got it from Lenny Kravitz, who had one just like it that he played around 2000 touring behind his album of the name '5'..Anyone know for sure?

    I was thinking it more likely that he got it from Pete Townshend.

    You think the Slayer tour is out, or what?

    Well I'm guessing you are correct sir. I didn't think it had that pick guard, although obviously it could have been removed at some point...Either way though, I love the idea of rock stars giving eachother guitars...that's just cool.

    I asked Ed about that guitar... I asked him if it was Pete's old guitar... which I referred to as the 'Holy Grail'.
    He said, No... it wasn't Pete's and that he had one made just like it. I told him that when i was a kid, I had a giant poster in my room of Pete, wailing on that thing... and when I saw it onstage... it was... well, like seeing the Holy Grail.

    add:
    If you want to see the real thing.. it is on displayat the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH.
