I was at the show in Louisville Saturday, and noticed Ed whipped out a black & yellow Charvel for Tattoo. He had used that FrankenWolgang in LA for the number...
Also, on I'll Wait, he brought out a black Charvel with red & white stripes.
Maybe we could post some pics and track his axe selection for these 2 tunes, or any others that get a unique approach. Not sure if these guitars are from the 2004 run or not, but I think he used one on I'll Wait in 07/08 also.
No light at the end of the tunnel, due to budget constraints...
I didn't notice the guitar...
There's some decent vid of I'll Wait. That axe is bad-ass, like a backward Franky. Couldn't tell the hardware, if it's an EVH Floyd or original Floyd, but I'm gonna research the photos.
Saw on the Links some flickr account with some shots of the Tattoo axe.
Just figured The Man may still be testin' for the perfect combo, so maybe us gearheads could observe and report as the tour continues...

You think he'll do that signed ebay sale of 'em this time around?

I bet he is playing one at each show then he will sign, date, and sell them.
Ha! You beat me to it. Yes. I think so.
Ha! I was ahead of the beat
If you had a guitar that Eddie actually used for a song live....would you use it? Or display it? Or lock it away in your vault & only take it out when alone once a month to stare at it?

I would have it on display in a glass case in my living room for all to enjoy. But I would play it only to learn ADKOT tabs.
Use it because I'd never sell it and probably be buried with it
I'm lobbying to get one for next year's fantasy football champion....
I would play it. And then when I still sounded like crap I could say to myself,
time to stop blaming the guitars dude.
WE'RE ON A MISSION FROM ROTH.
Fuck youI'm lobbying to get one for next year's fantasy football champion....
Hell to the Yeah! Is it always ask and ye shall receive on here? LOL!
I notice the Art Series logo on the headstock, perhaps these are still in the arsenal from 07-08.
Now, there's a second anti-Franky to be immortalized...
Fuck me? I haven't won that damn thing in like 7 years !!Fuck you
After my dismal year.......I'm a little touchy on the subject
I will buy one someday. I was checking out one from 04 the other day. He must have been drunk because it was just marked up with a sharpie all over the place.
I doubt it was just cheap wine Ed was on. Yeah he drew all over his guitar neck with sharpie. The best part of that tour is when Ed went ape shit on stage and started busting his guitar up and almost clocked Sam with it. Too bad Ed missed.I will buy one someday.

None up yet but this is where you'll find them...

There's 4 models from previous tours running $15,000 - $19,000 for buy it now prices.
"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”
That's a lot of dough for a guitar played once. I could understand if it were a regularly used guitar. I'd play it if I had it, not much sentimentality attached to it other than "neat". I can stripe guitars too! lol
This space for rent.
Now we go! Killer shot of the I'll Wait axe... And Wolfie goes FrankBass too! Love it! Franx alot![IMG]

I would totally use it.. guitars are useless as wall art...
Depending on the buyer... it's a combination of unique art and it's an instrument, plus having been used by the "rock god" and autographed it's like having a game ball from some big event. Tough call on how much you'd play it or just display it.
If you had signed game ball from the Super Bowl you probably wouldn't take it out and play catch with it in the street once a week...
Not a bad deal for Ed though... I figure Ed orders about 50 from the factory at cost. I'd estimate wholesale parts and labor at about $400 a piece. So his cost is about $20,000. Last 2 tours they sold at an average over $10,000 each... So Ed pockets around a $1 million. All he had to do is spend a few afternoons applying tape and picking color schemes, play it once and scribble on it with a Sharpie...
I'm in the wrong damn business...
Figured the Ebay auctions would start up again this tour... definitely liking his work better the last two batches...the ones from '04 were a joke. I think if I got one it'd be in a glass case 90% of the time...and I'd tell visitors "Don't even look at it..." ala Nigel Tufnel.
Yo, VA! Got a shot of the Charvels from Auburn Hills? Saw that clip of I'll Wait, it looked like a third unit to me. Haven't seen Tattoo yet... My evening's research has just begun! Beyond ready for my second dose of VH tomorrow!
Do I have one? Geez, do a Google search....
WTF Dude?
Are you falling behind?
Do you mean to tell me you don't attend every show, sit in the VIP section, coordinate sound checks, MC all the meet-n-greets, host every video and have a copy of every digital picture taken at every show..? WTF?
This is highly disappointing...
Yes, usually I do all of that, but I was taking a leak during Tattoo when he brought out the latest Charvel....WTF Dude?

Won't happen again....
Display case...no doubt. Hard Rock Cafe-style...

I'd play it.
Guitars are meant to be played.
Scramby eggs and bacon.
Here's one from the last tour... with baggage.
I own the infamous "Hamilton" smashed guitar! After neck transplant surgery, the guitar is as good as new and now has real character! Thank you Eddie Van Halen for your musical influence and for making a tangible piece of your vision and passion available to your fans! - Jim Van Schaick, Proud Owner of EVH Art Series Guitar #85, used & abused in Hamilton, ON
This thread reeeeally makes me want to build another shred stick... that, and I still have an extra body, pickups and a Floyd Rose or two in the parts drawer...
That's James May from Top Gear LOL
Ed does kind of look like James May. LOL!
Surprised these things haven't gone on sale yet for this tour...
They've got 4 of them up from the Canadian shows... $5150 starting bid.
