EVH & Mad Scottish Axe Murderer II

[Spudmurphy]

Spud! what an amazing purchase/find. glad it's of scottish nature & desent!!

quite a rare beastie i'd say.

i live just south of perth (about 20mins away) give me a shout next time you're passing and we'll grab a beer and a jam.

I work in Cumbernauld a lot - that must be near you?

Smelly - another 200 miles !!! about another 4 hours drive up those dirt tracks !!

Congrats!

Definitely a great looking guitar and I bet it sound just like it looks.

 

[Spudmurphy]

Spud, an average speed of 55mph?

Hmm........

And you being a representative of Her Majesty as well! The shame!!

Great score (and I endorse the decision to hide it as well!!!)

Well it's motorway most of the way, but once you cross Hadrians Wall, you gotta keep swerving to dodge those damn haggis!!

I couldn't bleeb it - no toll on the Forth bridge!! - in Scotland !! (Spud ducks and runs!!)

 

[PugNinjas]

Congrats, Sir Spud

That is a great guitar you have added to your collection !!

When I was giving Darrell's EVH some attention last week I immediately fell back in love with the neck.

I guess we will have to wait until you get your hands on a digital camera before we get an updated family picture

They abolished the tolls - it was taking too long for them to take a crowbar to open our wallets, resulting in tailbacks. That was after them using oxy-acetylene cutting equipment to get inside each car in the first place

 

[glockaxis]

EVH huh? - care to "spill the beans" and tell us all the specs?

I'll give you the full run down after I receive the instrument...that'll keep ya in suspense. HaHaHa!

Nice score spud, looks great, man you went to alot of trouble to get that baby, so mystic dream still on the radar? Congrats

 

[ivanmihaljevic]

Spud congratulations, it looks awesome!
And the figuring is beautiful!

 

[dstockden]

that top is awesome looking! im not sure i would have done the drive for it though, although it would have been a pretty good road trip!

 

[mbgreene]

Beautiful acquisition Sir Spud
As soon as I saw that in the for sale thread with Euro delivery I figured you for it. you've been hankerin' for one for a while now.
Play it well and enjoy!!

I never thought that a hardtail would turn up -so after playing a MD at the bash I thought "why not get a MD".

However now that the EVH is in my hands I very much doubt I'll get a MD.
- that's it now - I got the guitars I want.

Cheers Ivan

man I'd love to hear you put it through it's paces !!!

 

[Spudmurphy]

loving playing this new baby of mine - the neck is absolutely fantastic.

One small hic cough is that when I damp the strings hard, the bottom E and the A hit the bucker and I get pops. Will have to adjust my technique!
(Spud has technique???)
