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

[threeminutesboy]

well isn't the Fender Frankenstrat replica went for 25K and there not played by eddie and I guess more than 26 were produced

at a second thought this might be the right price for any EVH die hard fan

 

[lukather101]

working out the math on how many cool ebmms i'd buy for $30k ...

a lot

 

[Housefull]

1. Its a great guitar...always was and still is.
2. Eddie handed it to her but I gave it to all the baby animals.
3. Its a cool guitar and rare.
4. there is a market for everything but I think that you can buy a lot of stuff for 30K

Just what I was thinking.

 

[4Boogie]

I think the funniest thing about the auction is after you pay 30 large for the guitar they're gonna charge you another 100 bucks to ship it

 

[Coffeemug]

I just wonder how much it'd cost to ship this one insured to the full value...

 

[travs]

Would rather have a 2-hum Albert and the rest as a down payment on a house. They don't make land anymore...

 

[tommydude]

So whats the story with the black headstock?

Sterling, what did ya mean about you gave it to all the band?

Good question about the Headstock ?!?

That type of guitar is cool, but you couldn't play it. I would much rather own a BFR Axis and fly to SLO for a factory tour

In Canada with tax... 9 BFRs

 

[francric]

Wouldn't give a cent for anything EVH.....................

 

[Kaloyan]

Around 25-30!

Really? That seems to be a great price per piece?!

Check the Silos on the used market! Quantity is still quality with EBMM.

I have and I do but the Silo is not my thing ... Something like ... Mahogany body/neck and intense quilt maple top sounds super appealing as a birthday gift for myself ...

The Baby Animals are an awesome band, the best rock band Australia has produced in over 20 years. They sound even better with Mr Leslie playing a EBMM!

Not wrong Rob!

For me, they are THE aussie rock band.
Suze DeMarchi sings with more balls than most blokes on the scene and they rock sOOoooO Hard.

 

[robelinda2]

Even the lesser successful 2nd cd is really bloody good, dark and rockin. Some seriously cool riffs.

WA girl too...

Telelove is a kick ass cd too, pity it didnt do so well here.

Working For The Enemy is a great tune off the debut cd, one of the first things I wanted to learn on guitar when I started.

 

[King Loudness]

For $30,000, I would get myself the following gear (Prices are approximate, probably closer to the US prices than Canadian):

Mesa Mark Five head - $2,000
Mesa Electra Dyne - $1,500
Mesa Stiletto Deuce ver. II - $2,000
Mesa Dual Rectifier Road King - $2,800
Mesa Stiletto 4x12 x 3 - $3,000
Mesa Rectifier 4x12 - $1,000
EBMM Axis (Honey Burst) - $2,000
EBMM JP7 (White Pearl) - $2,200
EBMM Albert Lee (Candy Red) - $2,100
EBMM Steve Morse (Blueburst) - $1,900
EBMM EVH Model (Trans Red) - $3,000
Taylor 512ce - $2,500
Taylor 12 string - $2,500
TC G System - $1,500

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)

 

[azazael]

Do they have to count backwards??
