The EVH Art Series returns

[Don Corleone]

Remember the 10k Charvels from the 04 tour???

There's a new line on the way of the 07 tour:

Bottom of the page, Guitar bulding gallery, as well as a selection about mid way down the page.

he's working frantically for his living!

I'll say this, for the jack that Fender is charging for their Frankie...Eddie BETTER be building himself! With each purchaser coming to his house and watching HIM build it.

Why in the world is he playing the Charvel on tour when he wrapped up the deal with Fender and said they duplicated his guitar to the point he had to write on one of them to tell it apart from the original????

He's burning the wick at both ends and playing both side against each other in the collector wars.

It looks like he's having a good time building those, and if it keeps him sober doing something he's really good at...build your own damn lines Eddie!

Last time I checked, Fender owns Charvel...

He actually played one opening night.

Exactly, exactly.

I like this year's offerings better...



He played a couple of them at the Charlotte show, apparently...wonder when those two auctions will be up?





Some of them look atrocious, but I like the idea of the 'reverse stripes' motif..

And I'd like it even more, if I wouldn't have to go to the Custom Shop to get me a southpaw...

(cost of one would be 3K. Minimum.)

Sad but unfortunately true.
Of course, you could always build your own...ala Edward...

I've got some Musikraft shite coming in this week, I'll let you know how it is...and there's always Warmoth...
never heard any complaints about their lefty parts..

[jhale667]

You know, now that you mention it, aside from the fact he's supposed to play them onstage as a selling point,
wonder why they don't have him stripe a couple of lefty bodies when he's doing a run anyway?
An instrument manufacturer's left-handed output is generally 10% of their production, if I remember correctly....:confused:
You could always get a righty and flip it...but one of the EVH ones is gonna set you back 10k easily...

The thought has occured to me many times.

It's the lack of cash that's hindered me...

Didn't ya know? There aren't any southpaws among guitarists...

Hendrix I ain't, and I'm not gonna fork out 10K for something I could do myself.

Funny, that was what motivated me originally....:p that, and I couldn't find what I wanted in my local music stores...
Even now, to get exactly what I want from Charvel or whoever would run into the several thousands range...
Just picked up a 1-piece ash body made to my exact specs for less than 3 bills...
I have an old 80s Charvel maple Strat-head neck that needs a new home...

Funny how I started building them as a kid, partly due to EVH fandom, partly due to necessity, now I don't/can't play anything ELSE (for less than 3 or 4 grand and a two-year waiting list) I'd still rather build them myself...
Unless, of course Charvel were to give me some...lol...they still have those 1 5/8" toothpick girly man necks on them...no bueno....:p

Amen, bro!

I'll get around to it... Next year, maybe?

[jhale667]

I'm hoping to have this one done by the end of this year...

Good luck on yours, though!
