I haven't looked on Ebay in ages so I wanted to see what (if any EBMM EVH sigs) were listed. This is listed as a 95 Natural Flame top with 17 guys watching it. Anyone else notice what I do?

To start I believe the logo and signature on the headstock should be black on a natural EVH and or Axis.

It looks like it's severely faded from another color. Maybe purple?

just my guess, a faded purple one....
seriel is 85837, maybe someone of the EBMM crew can tell us, what it really was/is.

Kimo/Tim/and Joe nailed it on the head! The guitar was originally T-Purple or T-Black that heavily faded till it was just about a Natty finish and it looks like it may of gotten a bit of help along the way and then hit with a coat of clear. But it is extremely noticeable as you can see color blotches in the grain of the wood that look like tiger stripes, especially if you put the magnifying glass over the one pic of the face of the guitar. I honestly believe the seller which is a Pawn Shop in Oregon got duped by someone and doesn't know much about guitars, as that is the only musical item they have for sale and everything else is Knives, Daggers and what look to be Native American style artifacts. Also with an Ebay store that has close to 1,500 sales without a negative feedback, it pretty much shows guitars aren't their specialty and they got taken.The only other EB EVH sig that is on Ebay is also a Natty in player condition that is going for $2,700 and if you compare the tops the other has aged correctly and this one is really white as if it was sanded.
Mat you get a demerit as you should of nailed that lol.

Trans black, I'd say, look between nut and string tree. Any eBay members try to contact the seller and let them know?

I didn't miss the faded part, just didn't want to speculate on color or jump to conclusions. The wrong signature color implied that it has to be something other than natural.

This guitar came up in the serial number thread, DOB 14 June 1995, but no colour info given. I've posted to the serial number thread to ask.
