Here is my EVH EBMM. Real or Fake?

[Sir Edwardo]

Sorry I have only ONE picture but I will take ALOT more in the next few days and show everything. But from this one does it look like a real one?

No signature on the headstock, toggle on the horn...it would appear to me that this is an Axis EX.

That's where I'm putting my money...

Same thing.
But if you´re not sure - send it to me

Seen this one (or at least a deadringer) appear on Ebay a few times. Definately an Axis EX from Japan (a previous seller had a real EVH and this one too and was up front about it's origins).

Post the serial number and you'll Derek or Jon should be able to tell you if it's in their database. If it is, it's one of the rare "end of run" EVHs that left the factory without the headstock decalllll - these generally sell for less than a conventional EVH with signature headstock. If not, it's an Axis EX, assembled in Japan from US parts. Is the neck finished with a matt finish or just wood and wax?

 

[Sir Edwardo]

Is the neck finished with a matt finish or just wood and wax?

I could not tell because I dont know what that means?

 

[fogman]

It means is there any kind of gloss or finish or varnish on the neck of the guitar.

Eddie Van Halen likes his necks unfinished. He is of the belief that the oil from your finger tips should be the finish on the neck.
Therefore, the EVH EBMM had unfinished necks. So if there's a finish on the neck, then it's not the real thing!!

I didn't know EB made guitars in Japan.
