Non-Production EVH?

[Brand X]

A while ago I had to go digging through my old back issues of various VH interviews and cover stories to find a picture of an EVH model that I've only seen Ed with so I'm not certain if it went into production. Anyway I finally found it in the Guitar World tribute to Ed and on the inside of the back cover - he's sitting on a Chevy with the coolest looking fixed bridge EVH I've ever seen, It wasn't the usual MMan fixed bridge, but it looked more like a tune-o-matic.....

Anyone seen this - did it ever get produced or was it a strict one off for Ed?

If it's the one I'm thinking of, its a LP Jr. wrap around type of bridge. It is pretty cool lookin'.

Gibson style stop tailpiece that was, just to clear that.

Arrrgh - no doubt my wife has 'tidied' it by now (basic translation - it could be anywhere as long as out of sight).

I'll try to dig it out again and get it scanned..........

Thanks for posting that Mick. I think that for me that has to be the ultimate bridge choice for the Axis. Love to know how it compared to Floyd, and even a standard Hardtail EVH/Axis soundwise.

That's the one! Thanks for posting!

No word on what this model was? I guess a one off for Ed - but sure would have been great if the EVH's were ever produced looking like this....

I remember that picture . . . in Guitar for the Practicing Mucisian right around the release of the Carnal Knowledge album. Those were the days . . .

Good find!

Those were the days, Ed really looked good with an EBMM strapped on him.

i am just guessing here and bp can correct me. i would say that was probable a proto when they where trying to decide what type of fixed bridge to use. like i said i could be very wrong.
