Straturday Night LIVE! LEKATO Mod, Heavier Strings & Van Halen Jams! 🎸🔥 #straturday 2/28/26

On this episode of Straturday Night on Johnny Beane TV, we head straight to the workbench! 🎸🔧 I upgrade the endpins on the LEKATO S-style guitar and string it up with a heavier gauge set to fatten up the tone and feel. We did have to wrap things up a little early after I got a phone call I had to return — but not before packing in some serious guitar fun. Earlier in the day, I went live with an Exclusively Van Halen episode breaking down the newly released 1983 US Festival rehearsal tape — incredible stuff. https://youtube.com/live/UCJBzD_9Rnc?feature=share Then I grabbed the Firefly Van Halen-style guitar with the EVH neck and played through “Intruder,” “(Oh) Pretty Woman,” and even took a swing at the “Beat It” solo 😎 Awesome night of mods, riffs, and hanging out with you all. Thanks for watching! 🎸🔥 Welcome to STRATURDAY NIGHT — Your Saturday Night Guitar Destination! Riffs, mods, tone & mayhem every week — live guitar builds, screaming demos, wild stories, and nonstop laughs.
