Unloadad the Charvel EVH

[brentrocks]

It is gone! A dude in California bought it last week! It was nice, but WAY OVERPRICED!!

My EBMM EVH will do just fine for half the price!!!

and be more versatile.

Cool....I hope you did not get bit too bad on it.

 

[brentrocks]

actually, i'm pretty surprised, i only lost $50 on it.

the first guitar that i have bought and sold and lost $$$ on...1 out of 8 is not bad

chalk it up to a lesson learned

How was the sound compared to your EVH EBMM? Did one sound better or worse than the other?

the EBMM EVH had much better tone. much more versatile!!!

the charvel was ok....my $700 kramer sounded just as good.

I've been anxious to hear a review on one of these guitars.
Sounds like you summed it up pretty well Brent.

you got it dude!

i tell you what...i bought that Kramer on a wing and a prayer, had never owned one before. that is one rockin' little guitar. original floyd, zebra duncan, nice action, flawless finish. best $700 i ever spent!!!

the only leg these charvels have to stand on is the fact that they are a piece of history. (i'll give them that) it is kind-of a big deal that these guitars are being built in honor of Eddie's originals.

But there needs to be a little reality inserted somewhere in the mix!

Realisticly, how much does it cost charvel to make these guitars? $500-$700?? I realize eddie must get his cut, actually, that is the reason for the inflated prices. or just plain GREED!!

We have all bought the CDs, the concert tickets, t-shirts, stickers, keychains, straps, pins, videos, 8-tracks, tapes, DVDs, posters, pedals, picks, tab books, magazines, strings, amps....now we are expected to pay $2600-$3000 for a bare-bones strat style w/ a floyd?

I got fogged by the hype...and they almost got me, but i woke up and smelled the coffee! (thank god...i would have had to get a second job to pay for it )

MY 2 CENTS>>>>dino got me rollin'

Have you ever played the Kramer 1984 model? I'm just wondering how these guitars compare.

no i have not...was that a limited edition? was it stripped?

What web site has those $700 Kramers?

 

[Warg Master]

www.musicyo.com...I've bought a couple from that site when it was new...they were cheaper then they are now. But the guitars are the same..... Though they didn't have the USA ones nor did they have the "Custom"

this was a NOS 85' baretta USA that i bought from a guy on ebay. not one of the new ones.

Here's a link to the 1984's I was referring to:

I'm wondering how these compare. The reviews on HC are mixed but generally they say the guitar is o.k. but the pickup is not very good.

Get an original one on Ebay

Was it better than the EBMM? If the prices were the same, which would you have chosen?

 

[PRSPlayer]

Dino!

Where you been, dude?

Hey dude!
I've been busy building my own EVH replica guitars!
Wish I could post pics, but by the time I re-sized them to meet the forum requirements, they were about as big as my avatar!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Brent!
I'm just curious ... which model did you have?
