"..that's what dreams... are made of..."
What you see before you is the coveted EBMM EVH model from before his highness left for Peavey. A unique guitar for a unique guitarist. EBMM makes guitars for Steve Morse, Steve Lukather & Albert Lee on a limited scale and for a time, EVH just so you are aware of the pedigree of their instruments. The new Axis models are not quite the same.
This guitar is used but comes in a solid 7.5. Considering its age you wouldn't believe it. If you're still reading you're familiar with the specs but let me elaborate on some finer details you should note.
-Custom EVH Dimarzios. You can't walk into a store and buy these without the guitar. Heck you can't even buy the guitar since it's been discontinued!
-Birds-eye maple neck for the seasoned look. Looks like it's been played a lot, but wrong = it's the grain of the wood that gives off this illusion. It's hard to describe, except to say it's very cool. This particular neck is in fact startlingly clean and smooth.
-the single volume knob says 'tone'. A clever touch that EVH fans would appreciate.
-EVH signature on headstock
-Licensed Floyd to withstand many years of abuse as only Ed could dish it out
-made in the USA[/quote]

see closely the swirling 'birds-eye' of the neck. Yes the headstock is also 'spotted' and when flamed... voila!!
Ok about the condition. There a few dings on the back, and some minor buckle rash. The quilt top however is relatively untouched, the pics speak for themselves.
the worst thing that I can tell you about this axe is that the chrome on the 5th saddle has flaked off quite a bit. Can you tell from the pics? Not really.
The bridge shows signs of age, but is fully functional (obviously). If this bothers you, what better axe to fit a new original Floyd Rose onto??
The screw polepieces on the humbuckers have some rust on them. Simple matter of changing the screws. It could use a new selector switch, or contact cleaner if you're really cheap. I think these are minor issues which are normal for any guitar. In fact things could be much MUCH worse considering it's age! This was from '95. All in all it looks and feels like it's only 2 or 3 years old. Other than that it's plug-n-play!!!
and now... the price... ***RM5500! ***
Check these out on ebay if they have them... i won't tell you how much they go for  ! So see for yourself.
user reviews indicate that this a truly versatile guitar, from folk to metal. Hey it's designed by Van Halen, man. It's not any old hat.
Now i've taken the fear out of buying for you. If you were to get this off ebay, it would definitely be used, and you don't have a chance to see and hold it for yourself before deciding. It could be worse than you expect. Or you send them money and no guitar. Or damage during shipping. Most importantly, the price is very, very reasonable... well below the market price
So what do you get for RM5500...
1. EBMM EVH in great used condition, a collectible that appreciates rather than depreciates with time
2. original hardshell case with papers
3. no uncertainty
..but wait! There's more!!!
Lucky buyer also gets TWO Van Halen CDs 5150 and OU812 from the period!!
Serious buyers can pm me to arrange a viewing or test play. Yes I am the owner of the guitar, no contact this or that guy, wait 2 weeks, give me a deposit, or some funny business. If you want it tomorrow I'll bring it tomorrow. So consider this axe seriously... if it sells it will not repeat itself, I'm pretty sure of that. You don't come by it every day.
If you know anybody interested kindly refer...
thanks |
