My new purple EVHMM

[zr1fevr]

Here are some lower quality pics. My pics from my canon camera are too large to post. The guitar looks almost blue, it's purple though. Near mint, pretty much a case queen from the looks of the deep color & frets.
I almost don't want to play it at all, afraid of fading it out! It was built in 93. Hope to keep this one awhile, unless someone has a natural EVHMM in similar condition they want to trade. My first was a natural back in 91, wish I would have kept that one!

Nice EVH. Just play it, don't worry, that's what it was made for.

Wow! Congrats- that is a honey and the finish is simply beautiful. In my experience with EVH's purple for some reason seemed to be the color most susceptible to fade, so it is really rare to see one that looks like it was made last week. Looks like it as one of Bretts lol.

Reminds me of what my EVH hardtail used to look like when it as new - nice axe!

Unbelievable!

Amazing! I agree with those who said play it. Would be a shame to let it sit in a case all of the time! What a beautiful guitar!

Thanks. Brett has one that has a somewhat similar vertical pattern in the flame top. It looks cool in person. I got it at GC, one tiny impression on the top, one very small scratch on the back, thats it. Frets are like new. It looks amazing in person for an almost 20 year old purple. Plays & sounds great, though I may have to play it in the dark!

Gorgeous! But, dammit, PLAY IT. Honor it's original purpose and soul. Otherwise, I'll take it.
