If you're talking about the original classic as opposed to the new ones that's reason enough.

something about those guitars makes them special ;)

they just sound great and if you don't like it you can always resale it for the same price so you wont loose money, worth giving it a try

I can't imagine leaving it in a case. Of course I never had any plans to sell it so all the knicks and scratches just add character....

It really is a fine piece of craftsmanship. It sounds great whether plugged in or not.

I plan on handing mine down to my son one day.

Year, color/top, condition, OHSC? Pics would be nice too. BTW, you can get them for a lot less these days (depending on the above factors of course)...

I think Van Halen made their best records in their EBMM era. The look and sound of those intstrument make it a classic.

The EVH became the Axis guitar....Evolution....

Neck = buttuh

Like others have stated, you will not lose on the deal. It will be money well spent.

If you need to have a guitar body with a carved top for comfort, you may not like this then. Post a pic. If you don't buy it, I am sure 10 other people on the Forum will

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I'd just save a few houndred quid and buy a new Axis - it's simply an improved EVH (changed switch position, added belly contour and made the neck slightly wider at the heel).

I don’t own one but I wish I did. I think its all about owning a part of history.
