I found that eddies new charvels are already on ebay under the shop name 'evhguitarshop'. heres the auction number for one of them, you type it in the search field 3736172545. they aint exactly cheap though at a starting bid 0f ...wait for it.........five thousand one hundred and fifty dollars.
looks like Eddies goin all out for profit on this one, though dont get me wrong id love to get my hands on one of those they look fantastic.
Throw some table legs on that bitch and you got a really cool place to set your drink....
Still looks better than those crappy wolfgangs...

Each to their own !
Its what makes the world interesting.
To me, they look like too much of the body has been
cutaway. I dont like the design/look of the body..
Eddie doesn't look right playing those Wolfgangs. In my mind he only looks like Eddie when he's playing those old striped Strat guitars.
I agree 100%. I have a Wolfie, and it is a great axe. Never let me down in a gig yet. But to see Eddie play the "old school" guitars again....it's priceless. The striped Wolfies are konda cool, though....it's the stripes man, it's the stripes!Originally posted by Brownsound1

I thought the Ernie Ball music man fit him and his image. But the Peavey's never really suited him.Originally posted by EddieFan4Ever

He might as well sell guitars since he obviously forgot how to play them.
rippoff "artist"
I can't believe no one else isn't disgusted by this pathetic cash grab...A shitty basswood body with a strat neck and single humbucker starting bid over $5000...is Ed that broke or that greedy? Guys like Vai and Clapton auction off gear all the time...it fetches thousands...and they give it all to charity and to raise money for there charity organizations....This reeks of the Gene Simmons school of scamming your rich lawyer sheep fans.....Ed is really showing his true colors with this one
I agree 100% man! Utter BULLSHIT! What made Ed unique back in the day is anyone else looked like A COMPLETE TOOL playing a guitar that looked like his. And he took alot of time and effort to make sure nobody sold anything that looked like his spit-and-chicken wire guitars. Now, he'll let ya' for a piddly 5K?!?! FUCK THAT CRACKHEAD MOTHERFUCKER!!!!! I'm gonna do it just like he did. Paint my OWN guitar, not be a sheep and OOOOOHHHHHHHHH have a guitar like my HERO! UTTERLY FUCKING PATHETIC!
I agree. This is just another chance for Ed to make a few more bucks is he really that hard up? These just look like bog standard strats with a floyd rose and a humbucker. the art work doesn't do anything for me. In short a big rip off.Originally posted by Matt White
UTTERLY FUCKING PATHETIC!
Achtung Baby I say, I say...
I think it is a great way for someone to make a quick profit. Once Man-with-half-tongue keels over around the end of summer, they will be even more valuable
well, at least you know why he had the stripes copywrited

OK...
It sucks that they're expensive as hell, but he's Eddie Van Halen for cryin out loud & how many guitarists take the time to stripe & play an entire handful of guitars to make available to the public.
Do I want one? Damn straight.
Can I afford one? The investment now may pay off later.
I'm not biting, though...if he did this 3 years ago (even without playing them live) I would have in a heartbeat, but coupled with this cash grab of a tour and joke of a greatest hits album, it just too.....
corporate......
and that's where it stops being Rock & Roll, man.
"Honey, my shirt got itself torn up. My shirt tore itself on that stripper's hand, and I need it to be sewed up for the show."
"No problem, Dave, no problem. Say hello to Fluffy."
"Fuck you, Fluffy."
"No, no, you're going to upset Fluffy."
"I ain't saying hello to no stuffed bear."
"You know, now that I think about it, it's going to take a little longer to sew up that shirt than I was thinking."
"Hi Fluffy, how you been?"
"Now that I'm thinking of it even more, it's going to take half the time, Double D, Diamond Dave! Would you hold Fluffy?"
"N--- yeah."

EVH Art Guitars Series and other information
From LAMetalGod: 07.14.2004
As I indicated last month, Fender (FMIC), who owns Jackson-Charvel (JCMI) signed Eddie and Peavey is not renewing their expired contracts with Eddie due to long-term problems and contract defaults by him. Announcement will be made after the Tour. No slam on Ed, it's just business.
The current fad is doing high dollar, limited production, replica “Guitar God” and vintage guitars. Fender did very well on the Stevie Ray Vaughan #1 Stratocaster replica series, (1) and this is where the idea came for the Eddie Van Halen Art Series guitars. Yes, you will be totally shocked as to the open market prices these replica guitars will bring. Buyers exercising shear want-to-be stupidity, in my opinion.

Another good Fender Article on the SRV #1 Replica Series: Click Here
The same time Fender announced the SRV replica Strats, they announced a new limited edition ‘54 replica Stratocaster for $5,400. Click Here
EVH Art Guitars Series
My understanding is the EVH Art Guitars Series is being sold mostly through EBay, to really increases ultimate individual sales prices for these baby’s.
EVH-JCMI’s main site for the sale is: Click Here
EBay’s main auction page for the sales is: Click Here
1st Guitar Up - White and Black Strip #12: Starting Bid: $5,150 - Current Bid: $14,500 Click Here
2nd Guitar Up: Yellow and Black Strip #14: Starting Bid: $5,150 - Current Bid: $6,650 Click Here
Just wait for the classic EVH Red and White striped replica guitar to come up for bid to see some really crazy prices.
I am continually amazed what people will spend on junk like this or the SRV #1 replica strat.

Talk about shear craziness. Did you see the pricing Clapton’s recent guitar action brought? 88 guitars for total of $7,438,624.

If Ed were dead like SRV, then i could see this as a good thing. But he isn't and quite frankly, Ed's NO SRV.
Then it would have to be some individual selling them off and not a corporate money grabbing, piece of shit profit scam.
Just another notch down the pole of integrity for Ed in my eyes.
SO ARE YOU ASKING FOR A HIT TO BE SETUP ON EVH OR ARE YOU TELLING ME TO DO SO
IT CAN BE ARRANGED YOU KNOW
Unbelievable................
Peavey is not renewing with him either............. seems that not many people {other than Sam} want to work with good old Ed these days.........
I'd want one to hang above the dirty laundry basket down the hall.
Very appropoo..
I'd put one over the toilet, but i don't want to give anyone an excuse to shit in my water.
Go home to poop, ya nasty bastard...
Is that a Drop D Tuner I see ???
Well Fuck... That justifies the $5000 alone !! :p
(I really need a sarcasm smilie)
I dont get it? So these basically are shipped to Ed and he puts um together and paints um? So what do you suppose were paying for assembly?
i havent played one of these, but i definitely wouldnt pay the money for them. well, the money they are selling for on ebay. of course, those are signed by him and played during a concert form this tour. supposedly anyway. i do know at the last NAMM show (music convention for companies and retailor's) they were selling them to music outlets. just regular charvel's unsigned and built and painted in the factory. i believe it was 2 or 3 grand. still too much money. i have built and painted EVH guitars for myself for a lot less money than this crap. and they all sounded great. but, thats just my opinion. of course you could call me a hypocrite becasue i just bought an actual kramer guitar that ed used to own. but thats different! lol. you can see the pics in the "gear street forum" under "can i post pics of my guitar" or something like that. my apologies for not having the link.

I too bought a second hand Kramer and did the red/black/white thing.. got a Seymour Duncan Custom EVH from Ebay as well as a original Floyd and a hockey stick neck... works just fine for me... all for under $1000 AUD.
btw EDDIEVRULZ, nice axe...
Ed doesn't paint them. He only stripes them with tape. It's another money grab.
thanks! actually, ed didnt stripe mine, but he did build it. kramer did the paint job. for all of you old school metal heads, you might remember the ad in the mags back in the day that was for "heavy metal" strings. the guitar that i just got, is the same in the ad.
Charvels now suck. Couldn't pay me to own one.
That is some seriously fucking horrible wall paper....
Maybe Ed painted it... :pOriginally posted by WACF

I can almost hear the sucking sound now, it's aimed at your wallet and designed to capitalize on the Van Halen name.
Sad if you ask me...Dave or no Dave Reunion, this is a money grab, period.
The bodies are made of Basswood, laminated in 3 pieces:
- with a plain-grained Maple veneer, front and back, for whatever reason.
Add about 5 ounces of polyester, 40 ounces of Old English 800 with some fool and his tape.
Add tour chilled on rocks, served with Ebay and/or your local Jackson dealer.
Polyester resin paint is cured chemically the same way bowling balls are made solid from liquid plastic.
I hate the feel of solidified plastic on my guitars and prefer lacquer whenever possible.
I prefer raw wood for my guitars.
I'm new to the board. I attempted to do a search and did not find any information on this board on these guitars. I hope this isn't a double posting!
It appears that Eddie Van Halen plays 2 different guitars during the shows (during Tattoo and I'll Wait) that he striped and designed. Then he signs them, and dates them. Those guitars end up being sold.
It should be noted that he's been selling stage used guitars since 2004.
Anyone else seen this? Anyone else go any information on this?
(I could give the website link but do not want to break any of the forum rules.)
All of them are on Ebay I think. Big Money !!
Yep, there's already multiple threads on this subject in Gear Street I'm about to merge...feel free to merge this too guys...
