Brent! i dont know dude, the thing about the EVH's are not the body, is the neck and pickups.. but, if u get a abused evh and exchange everything..... that would be a deal.. and maybe ull get a green one for under 2000!

By the way, remove a pickup from the body to see if the inside cavity is the same, i dont know why, but it looks a little different than ur frankenball and my TG

Buyer beware on this one. And the sellers 91% feedback is worrisome too.

Brent - Did you see Jon's post in Brett's thread
The pickup pockets also look wrong based on livinitups photo too
You'd have no original neck, no orignal bridge, no original pickups and no original neck plate to demonstrate its actually real EVH -
Even if its real body (and I don't believe it is) you'd be better with a 100% original that is a refinish IMHO
plus to my eye, I don't think the quilt is of the quality EBMM would have put out, it doesn't look matched to me
Be careful

You may be right, but why is 91% worrisome? He has way more positive responses than negative and those that are negative come down to his word vs the four or five others. It's certainly not the first time we've heard of ex EBMM employees selling off or giving away stuff that has then appeared on Ebay. I can't see why a 91% rating necessarily means this is a scam.
I think the only questions for a prospective buyer are 1) do they feel an EVH body and trem is worth $800 and 2) is it worth the potential risk.

Just one more thought
This might be an Axis EX body - would still have some connection to EB and could have got to the seller that way, but still not an EVH.

a measurement of the maple cap will tell if it's an EVH or EX

anybody who thinks a 91% is good needs to understand that it is horrible. If this is a real body which I doubt it was stolen by an employee and probably a second to begin with...pass

An Axis EX top has a solid maple top not book matched as with the Axis and EVH.

Brent, if you want a green real bad, buy a knocked about EVH and have it re-finished in green! Much cheaper and you will have all the bits!
