EVH with New Charvel and Frankie

[quiksilver]

Wow, that white on black one is great!

[GodWentPUNK]

i think the most important thing about this thread is that roth can still fit into leather trousers that tight. for a man his age. kudos

I was like :ROTF: then I thought, then I looked in the mirror and said not in my life time

joe...

That's what I'm talking about. It so stinks of money grubbing, it's starting to put me off.

Everything just seems like it's about money now.

Just NOW?? :ROTF: I love it when it comes to ED selling his gear that he's "money grubbing"(?) but when every other musician Page/Clapton/Hammet/Vai/Petrucci/Satch/Johnson/Ace/Zakk/Geddy/Gene/M.Anthony/ and that idiot from Green Day shall I go on?? even the greats that's passed away (RIP) Vaughan/Hendrix/Rhoads and you don't hear anything about them doing the SAME thing that YOU would do if you were in there shoe's! Some of you guy's crack me up..................

[VinceV]

The fact that you can't see the difference cracks me up. I never complained during the 04 tour. I even have me one of those Hand striped guitars. So giving Ed my money hasn't been a problem before.

Hendrix/Rhoads/Vaughan, never had limited production pieces, while they were around. I don't even think any of them had any production pieces while they were alive, with maybe the exception of Rhoads, and I don't even think that was a full blown deal when he passed.

I am not talking about a Artist having a sigbnature guitar/amp. What I am talking about if this how many 20k guitars can I sell to go with my 1000 dollar seats to my concerts. That's the difference.

Page did 25 replica hand signed Gibsons at 25k each, the other 100 were 10k each. Clapton did the 100 run. Fine, they did high end runs.

Here we have Eddy who in 3 years in now on his 400+ run of Super special guitars priced in the tens of thousands. That is money grubbing.

Like I also said, he can do whatever he want. I just want no part of it anymore.

How about the fact the EVH has NEVER played a neckthru?

Like this? It may not be a neckthru but it sure isn't a bolt-on.

Never? Maybe not that you've seen.

[danastas]

It is amazing that DLR can still wear those things.

On the other hand, he should maybe reconsider. Especially if he plans to strut out there like he used to. 1980 is a long, long time ago.

[777]

The fact that you can't see the difference cracks me up.

Glad I could help, and I,ll remember this thread in a couple of months when you post pics of your new '07 hand striped EVH guitar..............

Ha, got you. I won't be posting pics of it. That'll show ya.:ROTF: :ROTF:

[Frigo89]

the problem with Ed and his money grubbing, is that he has gone WAY beyond any of the other guys.

then there is the Dimebag thing, but that is not under his control, but has anybody noticed that just like Kurt "Cocaine," the public don't give a damn 'til he's dead? (Kurt sucked, I just used him as an example)

the key thing is that people are stupid.

why spend 20k on a guitar you will NEVER play?

"you seen that guitar, its just a wall ornament, it cost 25k, I had to take out a second mortgage, and I'm never gonna make that money back off it, but I don't care, Eddie is GAWD!!!" - Eddie's # 4 Fan (because I paid 10k less than 3 other guys)

[5074charvel]

To me the whole EVH and VH is a museum. Ed reproduces his guitars from 25 years ago. They go on a tour with 25 year old songs. There´s a market for it and I don´t want to dis them anyway. If they will be around in ten years I´ll take my son to a show. If I can afford 5K for a seat then.

[surfreak]

Well, until that travesty of a guitar brand known as Charvel sorts out its mess and starts making guitars again, let alone good ones, there is nothing wrong in Eddie trying to make money on their legacy.

He's the one who put them on the map, perhaps he'll be the one who rescues them.

[shreddermon]

"Starts making guitars again"? Huh? They never stopped. It's just custom-order only now.

Besides, Ed has his "EVH Gear" brand now. He'll know that's where the real money will be had. Don't expect him to do a lot more with Charvel anymore, other than these special one-off big-bucks dealios.

[Model1VH2]

How about the fact the EVH has NEVER played a neckthru?

Check out the cover of Women and Children First.
Again, may not be a "neck-thru", but it's definately not a bolt-on.

[jwoods986]

Ok, just to clarify. I've never seen him with a neckthru, STRAT-STYLE guitar. I know he played LPs, the Ibanez, and even a 335 way back.
