NEW (to me) '92 EVH!

[Dino.]

I scored this last night and just wanted to share.
I put feelers out for a blue EVH and someone contacted me through one of the EVH forums to offer me this sunburst EVH. I politely declined because I had "blue" on the brain and, well ... the sunburst color really didn't do anything for me. I kept the pics in my phone and the more I looked, the more I realized that this guitar was in immaculate condition, especially considering it's age! The quilted top looked nice and consistent and the birdseye on the neck was just drop dead gorgeous. Long story short, I contacted the seller and made an offer.

I did some research and learned that there were probably only 600 sunburst models ever made.
I posted it over on the Facebook page and some had made comments of it being "Iced Tea" or "Honeyburst". Did EBMM identify these different sunburst finishes as such, or were they all just considered "Sunburst" by EBMM?

Thanks for looking and please feel free to share pics of your sunburst EVH's if you have em!

Welcome and very nice!

I have a ASS semi-hollow that I bought in a similar manner--really wasn't a fan of the the color (wasn't what I was looking for) but bought it because it was mint, MM90 (which I was looking for), and a great price. It has grown on me and probably gets the most use of any of my guitars. Sometimes it's just meant to be.

Pretty damn, nice, Dino! I eyeballed that one, too. Looks like a good score! That top looks more like a honey burst or iced tea burst. I love it! Mine is more red in the burst.

You asked us to share photos of our sunburst EVHs. Here's mine:

UPDATE:
My EVH was received last week and I've since had a chance to take a few pics.
The top is figured beautifully and check out that neck! Wow!
I'm really not a fan of the color "sunburst", but this one was very tastefully done, IMO.
I'm SO glad I didn't let this one get away.
