    About the Finish:

    This is a prototype copyrighted finish in my line called "Tribute Series" Very detailed with great, some rare, pictures of Eddies early carrer. I was trying different types of auto clearcoats. Due to it being such a thin clearcoat, it has some thin cracks in the finish. So the smooth, mirror, surface went out the window. Its still smooth and has a nice shine, but has the small cracks. Nothing drastic. Nothing nasty. Just the clear shrinking and sinking. Due to its complexity, instead of starting over, I'll sell this prototype and make another. The picture shown is the worst spots. Located along the bottom.

    This isn't just a wallhanger. Custom made. A real player. Professionaly set up and ready to rock. Pup can easly be switched to your taste. Everything is top of the line. Nothing cheap here. This is the reason for the reserve. Worth every penny.

      Wow. Four hundred bucks?
      Bet the reserve is pretty high...
      If this guy paid $900 for all the parts, he paid retail...lol....and he could still only muster a Mighty Mite neck and a Ping Floyd...

        That thing looks like fucking ASS!

        Reminds me of a project/activity my class did in grade one to Coke bottles. No dif. really except we used random pics of stuff from Time magazine and then proceded to brush on varnish...

        Funny thing is he's actually getting bids... Good luck dude!

          Hah I did the same thing sticking cartoons on a guitar many many years ago.

          I don't know much about making guitars but how can sticking pictures of EVH on a guitar and then varnishing it cost him $300?

          Also surely Eddies early carer was Roth followed later by Valerie...

            I saw a much cooler version of this concept in the early 90s...only the guy had put hardcore PRON images on it....looked simultaneously obscene and awesome...

              looks like he printed out the collage on sticker paper you can get at Staples.

                Peavey's custom shop has a similar set up. They'll put anything on a guitar that you upload to them. It cost's $400 bucks for custom graphics but that's not that much considering it can be anything you want.

                  i did that to a guitar I built way back when. Except I didn't put a clearcoat over it. It was pretty nasty. I tended to bury that dirty mongrel in it's case whenever Mom popped over for a visit...

                        No way, just something random I found on my ebay travels. I was shocked it had any bids. What a piece of shite!

                            Since it has some stripes... suprised Ed's lawyers haven't shut this one down.

                            Maybe he took them on the honeymoon...

                              I'm willing to bet that the real guitar is without the pics. Notice the stripes. This way he is trying to get around the system. Just my 2cents.
