Guitar Center in Manchester Connecticut says this EVH MM was signed by EVH before they cleared it was the last model ever made in the EVH signature series..


$30,000.00

Can someone confirm this?

 

[fogman]

are you thinking of buying it John?

That guitar has been there since the Manchester store opened.

And at $30k they can keep it, as far as I am concerned. Nice to know it has been reduced from $35k though...

 

[fogman]

I think for that kind of dough I'd rather buy a black and a gold EVH!

30 lbs. of Solid 24 carat gold maybe But that would be a pretty heavy guitar.

 

[John Denner]

No way!

It's a great looking guitar...

Just wanted someone to confirm if it's really the last one off the production line at Music Man?

And how did Guitar Center get it if that's the case?


Someone?

Yeah, I remember seeing it opening night. I remember getting a real chuckle out of the $35K price because East Coast Music Mall had an authentic frankensteiner Kramer from the 1984 tour that Eddie played, had a COA that he actually did play it at a show, had the cigarette burn in the headstock and everything. I believe they sold that for like $14K back in late '97/early '98.

Hey John, Can you post a better photo of it or a close up of the one you have in the link?

 

[Big Poppa]

that was an auction item for the CLB. They bought some cool stuff over the years like beatles and stones signed stuff under the clear coat I dont know if it is the last one...post a serial number

 

[roburado]

If I had the money for that, I'd be out there buying a new car, a new computer, a new cell phone, a BFR AL, and a JP7 of some sort.

 

[Warg Master]

They didn't have any better pics then that?

 

[Krell]

+1

If you're going to ask that kind of coin, the least you could do is have really good pics . . . and a lot of them.

Quite frankly, I don't think they are looking to sell it... However, if someone out there wants it enough to throw $30,000 at it, they'll let it go (with a chuckle and a smile).

Moreover, who cares if it's the last... now if it was the BEST or ONLY EVH, the price would make slightly more sense (think Mr. Horsepower and the Global Warming Silo).

Cheers

I'm with Fogman- Clearly with a 30K tag they really would rather display it-

Serial Number for EVH MM

Big Poppa

Here is the serial number for the EVH MM at Guitar Center

87191

Looking forward to the outcome...

 

[brett8388]

I have serial number 88019 in my collection - wouldn't that be later in production? I know the serial numbers were not sequential, but almost 1000 more guitars were assembled between mine and that one, no?

Last EVH Music Man

Sounds correct to me...
Let's see what Big Poppa has to say...

For some reason the Legend at Guitar Center is it's the last one...

 

[Big Poppa]

why dont you contact aziah on this one>>>>> I dont have the info on my laptop

 

[Aziah]

In our database, serial # 87191 was done on 2/17/95. I also looked up the serial number Brett has and it was done on 9/15/95.

But, it looks like the 87191 EVH was not sold or shipped until April of '96 I don't know if there is any more history to this particular one. Possibly this could be the last one shipped?

 

[Big Poppa]

Aziah to the rescue.....this is in fact the last evh assembled and shipped. I checked the CLB records and it is true. THis is the real deal.
