EVH Goldtop going for $30K....Ed's personal guitar

[robelinda2]

Suze would eat you alive Dizz. Maybe your'e into that stuff though.....

I appreciate the sentiments of collectors, different strokes for different folks, but I find the things that we make are meant to deteriorate and decay over time. 'Tis the nature of things.

Perspective is all subjectivity, but I buy guitars to play them. Although history and sentiment means a lot to people, there's still nothing worse than a guitar that isn't being played. Guitar's were made for music. Play 'em till they can't be played no'mo.

* Fly to the UK / Europe, sell it all for $60k (they'd still be getting a better deal )

PM sent

I'm probably not the first one to figure this out but I feel special for doing so ....the reason they made 26 goldtops is Eddie's birthday is Jan 26 and they made 16 solid black ones because Wolfgang was born March 16th

Ok Dizz wins.

 

[sgill72]

well...this was ed's guitar. poppa acknowledged that.

i imagine everyone probably said the same thing about '59 les pauls...and look where that went.

this is ed personal guitar, used in tons of promo for vh's first live album. there is history your paying for as well. it beats buying the frank replica...i'll tell you that.

also..it is best offer. never know what it'll go for.

its still not as ridiculous as this one:
Gibson Les Paul Custom fra 1960! - FINN Torget

exchange rate is 6 to 1, so you can do the math...

at least the evh is a good guitar

For $30k I'd :

* Buy a plane ticket
* Fly to the US, buy $28k worth of EBMM's
* Fly to the UK / Europe, sell it all for $60k (they'd still be getting a better deal )
* Fly back to the US, buy the Goldtop EVH for $30k
* Then come back to Oz ........ all without effectively spending a cent.

then :

* eBay the EVH with no reserve, donate 50% to charity, and buy a pile of BFR's and other gear for whatever it fetches.

or

* Even better still, just give it back to Suze for some "favours"



(I can already hear the lefties counting on their fingers)

LOL!! Good one Dizzy!

Man they where a good band. One thing we must remember about this thread, this wasn't one of Ed's personal guitars in fact he probably never even played them. He simply handed a guitar that Sterling had organised.

Great song and great band!

Suze was just pure RAUNCH.

Sexiest rock chick EVER.

 

[azazael]

I'm betting Suzi has a court order against you Dizzy?

 

[Dizzy]

I'm betting Suzi has a court order against you Dizzy?

Yep, just like the ones Britney Spears and Boy George have against you !

 

[Colin]

well...this was ed's guitar. poppa acknowledged that.

Actually he didn't say it was Ed's guitar reread his post

but its also in so many VH promo shots.

you'd want to be absolutely positive that it was before 30k was dropped into his PayPal account. If not I know of one going for 10 grand...
