Exclusively Van Halen: 🎸 Larry DiMarzio vs. #EddieVanHalen – Who Did It First? 🔧 6/5/25
🎸 Larry DiMarzio vs. Eddie Van Halen – Who Did It First? 🔧
Guitar legend Eddie Van Halen was known for his revolutionary playing and his groundbreaking guitar mods – but what if someone else had the same ideas before him?
In this video, we dive into a fascinating story from pickup pioneer Larry DiMarzio, who claims he made the exact same bridge mod Eddie later became famous for — reducing string spacing to improve tuning stability and string alignment. DiMarzio’s redesigned Strat bridge addressed the same issues Eddie tackled with his famous Frankenstein guitar and Floyd Rose system.
đź’¬ DiMarzio says:
“I literally made the change that Eddie Van Halen was known for and was thinking about.”
We’ll explore:
DiMarzio’s early innovations in pickup and bridge design
How Eddie Van Halen’s mods mirror DiMarzio’s solutions
Why the Floyd Rose won in the end — and why DiMarzio didn’t love the tone
The legacy of both inventors in shaping shred-era guitar performance
🔥 Whether you’re a tone chaser, gearhead, or Van Halen superfan, this episode is packed with deep insight into guitar history and tech.
