Dude, you can buy Mario's Axis in the for sale thread for $1200 and use it to harvest the trem and the pickups and still have a sweet Axis... Once it's done. That would solve a lot of issues

will do. The body is on its way to california for finish repair as of today! And to make my day even better, I had been searching every where in my house for a sealed original evh toggle switch that I had got with my blue one a few years ago and could not find it. I finally had given up and though maybe I sent it out with one of the ones I sold. Went down to the basement to do laundry and BOOM, theres my sealed replacement evh toggle switch on a shelf down there lol.

Nice Axe. You got lucky and there's nothing wrong with a little work. It'll help you two to build a close relationship, lol. I'm sure that my opinion doesn't mean too much being new here but I would keep it as original as possible. A little cleaning, a good tune-up and new strings and you may have a real gem... Congrats!

if you knew me as a person you would know Im only into as original as possible lol. When its done it should be as close to a brand new eddie as possible. I was going to send the neck out to ebmm for the fret job while the body is out so I could assemble when it gets back. I decided to wait for the body, assemble it then send it to ebmm so they can also do the wiring job at the factory. That is how ocd I am, any good tech could wire it for me but I would rather have the factory do it lol.

yes he did, looks like I am keeping her after all. New GOTOH bridge on the way. Unfortunately ebmm no longer has the gotoh style bridge replacements and I don't like the new style. Eventually an EVH bridge will pop up somewhere and Ill snatch it up. Im also thinking this might be a great opportunity to try some different bridge pups in the eddie, Im thinking a Suhr ssh+ is going to get a shot before I send in the evh bridge pup for an axis replacement. If all goes well it should be reassembled by the weekend. Will be a few months before I send the neck out to ebmm to finish the project. Then Ill have a nice near mint evh again.

Man, that looks great. I just ordered the Suhr DSH+ bridge pup for my Silo special. I'll let you know how that one sounds. I want my silo to sound warm like my Axis, 25th, and Super Sports.
