It's funny how many guitars you can give away when you get them for free!

Cool. Think I'll buy that one and use the tremolo to replace the dying one on my EVH.

Eddie gave a lot of guitars away. This is legit but it was a back up. Eddie didnt pay for guitars or dinner.

Thanks for clearing this up.
I think I saw this guitar in munich where they played in 1993, beginning of the europe tour and my first VH concert. I was expecting to see my guitar hero for the first time and on the first note of poundcake on the tour start he snapped the low e-string. He laughed for the wole song through, was a great moment

The same guy who is selling Eddie's Trans Black EVH is also selling Eddies maple Kramer neck off his Frankenstrat guitar. This is the one seen in the "Jump" video. I bet you could buy half a house with the price of both these. Still, you would get more satisfaction from owning these as opposed to half a house!!

...yeah that's just what I want, used over priced instruments LOL.
I figure if a touring "pro" used an instrument it's been put through it's paces. Kinda like buying a used race car from a pro driver or something.
I'd rather have new. My $0.02

I see that those guitars were gifts from Ed. Shame people will sell them at such an inflated price just to make a buck. I have a very special gift that will go to the grave with me from a certain someone who shall remain nameless...
To each his/her own I guess....whatever.

Hey, if Eddie gave me a Peavey guitar, I'd sell it, too.

Honestly, I don't think I would. If it was a gift, I would keep it. The point being, it is not the brand, just the thought of something like that being given to you by a well known musician. Then to sell it using the musician's name as a selling point (which is very very common) is bad form.
Now, mind you, I would never play it. I do have my sense of loyalty with EBMM as it is the best company (my opinion) and has a SUPERIOR product.

I stick to my guns here, Koogs. I think I was too "progressive" when Van Halen was first huge, and I was never much into the c*ck-rock thing anyway - or riff-rock or whatever the correct term is. In those days, if Frank Zappa thought it was ridiculous, I probably did, too.
So the whole EVH fanboy thing - well, first, I'm a bassist, so that really answers the 'why not'.
But this is not to say that I don't value certain basses that were given to me. Indeed I do! But those came from a friend, someone I trust and value and care about.
And they weren't Peaveys!

I own both Wolfgangs and Axis and love them equally.
Similar but different and the Peavey has great quality as well
