NGD For Meeeeeee

Yup.

As I suspected, I've got a bit EBMM crazy...

If all started with "just the one EVH." In my favorite color, Purple. Which, of course led me to, "Well, I can't very well use this as a daily-player. Especially given the fading issue. It's going to primarily live in the case, and come out during special occasions. So...I'm going to have to get an Axis." Which I found at a local GC. It's every bit the guitar I'd hoped it would be.

Fast forward a couple of weeks, and I find myself on Reverb. For S&G, I decide to see what they're getting for an EVH there...

There I find the Trans-Blue...and it's been "marked down." Not cheap. But, as good a price as you'll find for a player-grade. So...sure. Let's do it.

As I'm talking to the shop I found it at on the phone to discuss safe packing, he tells me they actually purchased an estate-sale, with a bunch of guitars. 3 of which were EBMM EVHs. They sold the Trans-Pink in less than 30 minutes after listing it, sold me the Trans-Blue, and had a Trans-Red they had yet to list...

"Can you send me some pics?"

That, was that. So...my GAS has subsided.

Except I know of a Trans-Purple HT in excellent condition, with what looks like *no* fading, for sale.

I could be in trouble.

Here're the new adoptions.


I originally thought the Red was a Flame Turns out it's a unique looking Quilt. The Blue has the prerequisite fade-to-kinda-Aqua going on.

I have no complaints.

...Purple Hardtail you say?

When the gas comes it can come in extreme waves. Nice work

 

[mikeller]

Whoa!!! Very nice

 

[Astrofreq]

That purple hardtail on eBay is amazing. You should totally do it.

 

[Neanderpaul]

Not the same one. I've seen one on another guitar site for half what that one is going for.

 

[Fro]

Nice! Way to go.

 

[dibart77]

Damn. The top on that red EVH is stunning!

Congratulations!! I wish I could buy three guitars at once, only if it's once in a lifetime =D

 

[Neanderpaul]

Thank you. It's a very unique pattern. Never seen it before. I'm beyond stoked

Oh...it *is.* they're my "Corvette." My Credit is on life-support now. But...you don't often get a second-chance. How many "Imwish I'd pulled the trigger," or "i shouldn't have passed" posts do we read?

I've seen them come and go over the years. I saw deals, and chose to swing. And...if I regret it, or *have* to flip them, I can get what I paid. So, I went a little overboard.

...like a kid in a candy shop.

Going overboard may be the best feeling of all!! =)

..and like you said, you can always flip them or sell them as they are very fine instruments never losing their value. Especially if they remain well-kept. Again, congratulations and happy melting them =D

Lovely guitars! The red reminds me of the "boat wake" 20th Anniversary Silo that somebody here had.

Congrats and very nice, love that red top. A HT would be the ultimate.

Congrats and very nice, love that red top. A HT would be the ultimate.

It *would* "round out" the collection. I have a friend that's teasing me and serving up the "rainbow challenge."

Like I'm made of money.

 

[Flash Gordon]

Living vicariously through you... deeeaaaauuummmmmnnnnn.

 

[spychocyco]

Nice collection. And that purple one is awesome, too. It would feel right at home. I'm holding out for the purple BFR Axis, which hopefully won't set me back quite as much.

 

[Tollywood]

Congrats!

Great collection, nice.
