I've seen that guitar in person at a Baby Animals gig years ago. Ed gave the band a guitar each (except the drummer) on the European tour. Still think EBMM is making better guitars now and this is a tad overpriced.

Companies aim to be progressive, or least they should be.
I think of older models as prototypes and works in progresses of models today.
I get people spend tons of money on guitars famous people owned and played, but I'll never understand it.
There needs to be function that accommodates cost.
Maybe I'm just weird.
I'd never pay more than a used Axis' price for an EVH, which means I'll never own one.

Not sure you can recover your money if you invest such an amount of cash in this guitar.
I remember, Lucious Valley Art Robot that was on Ebay few years ago and prices also went to the roof

It's a collector item, not a player item.
A player will have a logic when he buys a guitar (this guitar can or cannot be use for gigging).
A collector does not have the same vision : if this item is essential in his collection, he will buy it.

If I had the money I would buy it for an investment. This guitar will only increase in value over time such as rare Les Paul do. We all no how many fans VH has, in 30 years imagine

Beware because now players like EVH use a lot of guitars. How many EBMM, Peavey guitars were used by EVH ???
The players from the 60s or 70s were using just a few guitars, so now they are iconic. SRV, Rory Gallagher played the same guitar during all their life. If you can buy one of Rory's workhorse, that a good investment because of its rarity.

If I had the cash available I would love to own that guitar. It truly is rare, especially with the black headstock on it!

Most working stiffs don’t have 30K to drop on a guitar. Thats a down payment on a house.

Actually the ebay ad says the guitar is being sold by Nuno Bettencourt by a place that is thinning out his herd and the guitar was given to his Wife by Eddie. It is a Gold top to boot, which only had about 26 made. If I was Nuno I would definitely of held onto this ax being it was a gift to his wife. The add also states he gigged it.
There is a Gold top on Gbase that is rather in shabby condition that a guy is asking $,9,000 for, been up for months.
For this price Nuno better send his wife with it.lol That is off the charts. But like someone mentioned earlier there are going to be guitars that are going to be the next wave of vintage axes. I would say from the time Vanhalen hit and on. As everyone was playing super Strats and companies like EBMM, Kramer, Charvel ,Jackson, Ibanez, Dean and a host of others ruled the roost for a long time. I dont ever think we will see the insane prices from the first vintage market but a lot of these guitars are going to increase pretty nicely. Especially the ones played by the most dominant player of his era. Maybe this is a sign of things to come.-Now I'm interested to see if it sells.lol
