Well it got here!!:D

I forgot to charge the battery for my camera, I am doing so right now. Here's 1 pic of it... not enough light from the flash then --- my battery died!
Ok the run down on the guitar it self,

The Custom Top and Neck while not the prettiest in a picture are VERY nice in person! The top is WAY WAY DEEP and so 3-D it, no kidding looks about 1/2 deep ---- just amazing!!!! (I was soooooo hoping for Big Quilt and not the normal-there's so much it looks like a Flame top (I love Flame tops however) The bookmatch is a great lineup as well ..... I'll get a good pic of it later. I got what I wanted ---- HATS off to Tyler for picking the top --- Thanks Man!!!:D

The neck is very well built and so straight geesh just perfect!!! There is alot of birds eye all over but not so much it looks out of place or looks too dirty!! There's really cool wavy grain all over it as well.

I also love the Neck Plate hehehheehe it says Custom Built right on it!!!!

The intonation is good as well as the action I only had to lower the high E just a bit. Sound wise I thought I should have ordered a Rosewood fretboard because of the Piezo but the Maple is just incredible to hear -- not too bright but nice and janglie!! I'm glad I stuck with the Maple!!!

The tremolo even stays in tune quite well ..... I'm tickled Pink or a should I say Cherry Burst .... Which brings me to the color ... I'm just so pleased ... again I wanted a more orangey burst and got it....

I'll know more later since I forgot to eat and will play it more after some food. ;)

Another Pic ... there's some trees refecting in the shine of the Clear coat. The bookmatch looks alittle off but that is just the angle I took the pic at.

Darrell,
Truely, Truely, I say unto thee, ....... Envious I just can't believe it man! YOU Have my Favorite!!!!! A -1994 EVH, red, quilt top
then you have this -1995 EVH, purple, flame top!!!:D
But really I should be envious .... At work today I borrowed my old Amber Axis, I just love it. It's not a real EVH but it's fun play with a locking floyd. Although I guess I do have a ESP Custom KH-3 with a Floyd that fills the need for one. My wife hates the spider inlays and the skull-spider decal, me too but nothing I have ever played is as good of player as it. (not including my new AxisSS, it's in a different league altogether and the color was perfect for it as well). I will most likely sell the KH-3 and get a Trans-Red EVH or Axis when I find the right one. Hahahaha I guess I could always put some EMG's in it!!!!:eek:




Anyway thanks for the support and your input!!
