My "new" EVH red quilt #80118

[Drown]

This is my "new" EVH. Serial-no. 80118. Bought it used in Hamburg, Germany. Has some dings and dongs but a great player. Absolutely amazing neck.
Can I get the production date from the serial?

Greetings

I´m absolutely happy with it. As I mentioned I sold my PRS for it and it´s like "Coming home". I never get used to the PRS. I tried almost ten different guitars in the last months. Les Pauls, PRS´, ESPs,... but finally came back to Music Man and I guess it won´t be my last EBMM.

The only thing that makes me wonder is the look of the neck. Did they produce such dark ones or is it just absolutely stained and dirty?

I've also noticed that my EVH's early in the run have a slightly darker neck. Maybe it's the age or playwear?

Regardless - awesome EVH you have there.

Its just use. All my Axis and EVH guitars are much darker now then when I got them due to use.

I´m absolutely amazed by this guitar. Tried it today for the first time through my Mesa Road King. It beats the hell out of every PRS I´ve owned. The next guitar will definitely be a Music Man again.

yeah, all wood darkens with age unless it is sealed...that EVH is KILLER!!!

 

[philiprst]

Maple darkens with age unless the finish blocks UV light.

The guys on Birds and Moons (a site that a lot of PRS guys go to) usually have very good things to say about EBMM - I know I do.

I love my EBMM EVH and I love my PRS Cu22. Sort of like apples and apples to me. Hope I'm not stepping on any toes in here but I simply appreciate great guitars made by great builders.

no doubt PRS are great guitars, and they are of a very high quality. all the ones i've played havent really been my cup of tea. and i wasnt really keen to go over $7000 to find one i liked!!! EBMM couldnt give better value for money.

I tried an expensive PRS but to me it just wasn't comfortable. Workmanship was top notch, it just didn't fit like a glove.

Just got an answer to the email I sent to Ernie Ball.
My EVH´s production date is 7/22/1991
