Post your EVH home-made guitars NOW!!!

This is a mid 80's Baretta, originally black, with a homegrown paintjob

 

guess nobody likes our thread tremonti....

 

Here is mine...buddy made it for me just recently...pretty accurate except for those goofy reflectors on the back

 

Thanks tremonti....it was under 25k

The parts were $950 and the labor wasn't much more....I wanted my friend to make one for me for under $1000 and he said he could do it....I couldn't give him just $50 for labor so it was a little over $1000 but not much

Swamp Ash body...Birdseye neck and board....Real Floyd with D-Tuna...Seymour Duncan Custom Shop EVH

I told him he could make a killing off making these for people but he said no price would make him want to make another one...matching someone's "mistake" was a huge hassle even for a HUGE EVH fan

 

This is what I'm working on.

What looks like Strat pickups are just empty pickup covers to fill the space.

I'm not going to do EVH graphics, and probably won't install a Floyd, but I kind of owe the concept to Eddie's Frankenstein. I'm just using parts I already have, and most of them are parts I've used on other guitars. So far, this one's a freebie for me, but I might upgrade the pickup and maybe add a roller nut.



I haven't gotten around to doing the wiring yet.

 

Pretty darn accurate replica (except for the bridge pup) of Ed's Frankenstrat in 83...

 

nice replica clmazza ! Both from NJ ?...separated at birth ? hmmm

 

Eddie is selling those himself..

Jeff

 

Seems a bit odd to me too, but the guy seems to have surprisingly good business senses. He somehow knows how to make money, and market his name and always has.

But is it Eddie selling them, or does he have "his people" do it?

 

Sweet guitars, gents.

Man, not to jack your thread but has anyone tried to sell anything non EVH licensed on the bay lately?

I've got a Mean Street guitar I've tried to sell over there a couple of times and the Van Halen police have pounced in less than an hour after the auction started. This is with no mention of EVH in the auction either.

It's crazy. I mean, I'm not trying to make any cash off of Ed or his guitar. I'm just looking to get out of it what I put in so I can buy yet another guitar.

[/end rant]

Anyway, I didn't paint it up or anything, but I love my Mean Street VH1 clone!

 

nice! i'll give you $25,000.00

(as is the going rate!)

 

First up is my meanstreat 5150 replica. The guitar is extremely accurate.



Next up is a one off design I came up with being a fan of Ed's shark guitar I came up with this.
