Regarding who is responsible for designing the body of the EVH, Big Poppa sheds some light here (scroll down near the bottom):

Big Poppa was responding to my question re. how much did Eddie contribute to the design of the body, i.e. whether he had a specific design in mind or perhaps just gave his approval to an EBMM originated design. BP's response suggests to me that if Dudley can't take 100% of the credit for designing the guitar body, then at least he had more to do with it than Eddie did.
If my understanding of BP's response is correct, then my guess is that Eddie's contributions outside of the neck and cosmetic considerations were limited to the design of the pickups, the specifying of only the "tone" knob, the non-floating Floyd Rose, and where to put the pickup selector switch.
