are you sure that's EVH's actual guitar?

or am I mistaking it for a copy?

It's a replica.

Yes, Don's right it a replica made years ago and done to tee for a very respected stage manager. The thing weights a bit and the neck is a Charvel strat head. The guitar does have a clear-coat on it unlike any of the guitars that EVH made. By the way Don I like the one that guy made for you it looks great and how does it sound?

[Soul Reaper]

i thought it might be real because you got it from a stage manager in the 'business', so I thought he might know EVH.

[Panamark]

Didnt Ed say it was worth $200 ?

[Frankenstraat]

Hey, I know that guitar, thats Vic G's from EVH.com

I'd say you picked it up from an old eBay photo.

Here you are GAR here is 2 of mine and some show passes just to prove it, does this look like an ebay photo. I been in the business for roughly 6 years and have enough shit to fill a garage.

OH oh oh.. so you got a REAL one off EBAY, one that he played last year!

That's different, I didn't get it except that the ebay photopix logo was in the lower corner. I get it now!

I still have the Starfleet Project LP I bought in the 80's. On the liner and jacket it has pictures of Brian May, Eddie, and the rest of the guys who played on the album in the studio. Ed has his Frankenstrat and it has some kind of shit neck that looks horrible. It has kind of a Musicman looking headstock and looks like unfinished mahagony. I've never seen pictures of that guitar body with that neck on it anywhere else.

I use ebay to change the size of my photos I'm to lazy to figure this computer shit out, all my camera takes is these giant pics then I set up an ebay sell page then add pics preview the auction and copy the pics. So you will see that on all my pics if I don't they won't fit on this forum!

Ed sold Val to Mick Mars in 1999 for a case of Merlot.

What do you guys think of the Charvel Evhs that came out recently?....i thought about getting one, but wasnt sure if there up to standards...

[zeronumber]

I'd say making one would cost you around...oh say 600 all together.

350 for a strat, (or Strat like) guitar...

About 80 bucks for one of these bad boys near the bridge:

And new nut...Then just give it that classic, 3 tone paint job.

Just sand off the headstock and the body, then paint it with a white bass coat.

Then tape off certain parts where you want stripes, then add a Red coat.

Then by hand(to give it that unique, somewhat half assed trashed look)

Paint the black stripes by hand.

Finally, to even it alll out(though a bit hard to obtain), get a clear coat protectant over it.

Then, wallah, you got your own frankenstien.

I wouldn't put a Hotrails in an EVH guitar.
