That was insanely accurate tone and playing.

I've seen a few people rebuild this rig professionally - LA Sound Design and maybe one from Friedman/Rack Systems. None have ever demonstrated it anywhere close to this. So cool to see as close to the real deal being demoed by a guy that can actually channel EVH. Well done Mason, well done Lincoln!

I have never heard anyone understand Eddies weirder chord choices quite like this! So cool

the track at the end clinches it...we need an instrumental album from Lincoln Brewster.

Uncanny. Sounds like new classic EVH.

@<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=devjEQjKyXk&t=555">9:15</a> Just the other day I saw a kid in a guitar store sloppily playing “Unchained” through a cranked EVH amp without tuning down his 6th string. He was happy as a clam and as clueless as a crustacean.

Having the guitar panned hard to the left is an exquisite attention to detail. Bravo!

I've been a Lincoln Brewster fan for years, but never knew that he could emulate Edward's style and attitude so closely. That was really, really enjoyable! Also, I love how the track was mixed just like the early VH records, with the guitar panned hard one side and only a 'verb 'artifact' audible on the other side. Honestly, if that snare sound were closer to Alex's, this could be mistaken for a lost VH track...<br>Excellent job!
