Not a single doubt.

EVH! Who knows how many are going to be made. You can always pick up a SL2H-MAH.

The previous 2 recommendations are justified and dead on. I would play the 2 guitars if possible and let your ear be the guide. That should be the deciding factor IMO. Then, later on go for a custom shop whatever model with the attributes you like best.

Also what guitars do u own? If you already have a soloist SL1 or SL2, go for the EVH.

Not all that comparable, imho.

But the magic sentence has been uttered by a person of greater wisdom than myself: play both and choose on feel. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

I do not own a SL2H or an SL1, I do however have a GX Bullseye RI that I love. I am a little skepticle of shelling out the $ for a guitar with a basswood body. I have always preferred mahogany or alder but the paint job is very cool on the EVH/BY.

Re: Help me decide/Sl2H/Mah or EVH Charvel.

Then I would without a single doubt go SL2H-MAH. Soloist + mahogany = ultimate axe, imho.

I agree then go for SL2-MAH. Btw, loved your avatar GodOfRhythm. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

SL2H in a heart beat.

Re: Help me decide/Sl2H/Mah or EVH Charvel.

also take in factor the versatility of the instrument you're buying, and the context you usually play them out in, and the sounds you'll need/want to try.

I may be in the minority, but I think the EVH is a huge waste of money on what is essentially a basswood bodied Strat. History has shown that signature models do not hold their value at all, so go with the Soloist. More versatile, better sounding, neck-thru construction. If you want an EVH looking guitar, build it out of Warmoth parts.
