EVH breaks out the Charvels in Louisville

[Va Beach VH Fan]

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....

Won't happen again....

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?

Display case...no doubt. Hard Rock Cafe-style...

I'd play it.

Guitars are meant to be played.

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...

Ed does kind of look like James May. LOL!

[ELVIS]

Cash grab bullshit...

Last tour most went for over $10K... I'd bet in this economy not many will hit that level. Possible some may not even sell...

Yeah, I look forward to some guy walking into the Pawn Stars shop in a couple of years, and being told by Rick that the guitar just ain't worth the asking price, but he'd give the owner a couple hundred dollars for the piece of shit.

Dunno about that, as this year's offerings look FAR cooler than previous ones...and EVH's signature (on a guitar he played) is probably still worth a few$K....

Hell, anything is possible when it comes to collectors and their money, but to me, even with Ed's signature on the damned things, these guitars look like they fell out of the back window of Joe Satriani's Chrysler minivan.
