Vintage Gold EVH on the Bay, BIG $$$$

[fogman]

wow!

the seller could be fogman...he posted the same pic a while ago about another goldtop http://www.ernieball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13342

to me it's a $1500 guitar....but I can see how appealing it is to someone into collecting so hat's off to whoever buys this and hope they enjoy it.

Ya, it's just a modded OLP!!!!
I just needed to fund my real EBMM purchases!!

I have often thought of buying a beaten up Axis and having is re-finished in Gold. Would be pretty sweet!

that is an awesome idea!!! you should do it!!!

i know this sounds really crazy...i thought about taking one of my EVHs and having a cracked mirror top put on it....

I'd love to get a beat up AL and have it refinished in crackled (aged) Gold top a la Les Paul. 3 Cream MM90's.
My mate can do this finish VERY well!

Anybody have a battered AL for sale ? - cash waiting!

Just as I suspected, a little overpriced but still a nice guitar. 7 offers but not enough to make him part with it!

It's over.

Cool! Thanks for the video links.


Ha -- Jerry changed the switch on the goldtop.

 

[Jim Warnstedt]

I think Jerry Cantrell was one of the best guitarists to come out of the grunge scene.

Ah yes, the Vintage Gold EVH. This should look familiar to those who have been here for a while. I posted this guitar here just about a year ago -- nearly to the day as I now see.

I just wanted to address a few things that I've read. I'm not trying to be defensive in any way, but just wanted to respond to a couple of points.

The price: Yes, it was high. But just as Krell said -- it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I deliberately offered it high because I'm not really thrilled about getting rid of it. I only offered it up because another investment opportunity came around and I could use the extra cash. I don't really need to sell it, but I could use the money for some good. Since it didn't sell, I'm happy to put it back in the closet for a while and hold on to it. ( Yes Norrin Radd, I'm a collector. You probably don't want to hear what else I have and don't play. ) I know of one other for sale right now and it's being offered at $8000. I had a couple nice offers but again -- not enough to make me want to part with this guitar.

The shipping: Shipping price included insurance. Does anyone really know what insurance runs on an item of that value and a package that large? I checked it out with UPS before I set the shipping price. Would you sell a Ferrari for $85K and then ship it free just because it was an expensive item?

The skinny: I'm pretty sure I'll have this guitar for a long time. However, if at any point you or anyone else is interested in this axe -- you know where to find me. I don't have many posts but I've been in an out of the forums since I joined last year. I don't have a lot of time for posting but I am around. I love these guitars and have been collecting them on and off since they were introduced in the early 90's. I currently have an amber Axis that I would consider one of my top 5 guitar purchases of all time for a variety of reasons. It's my main playing electric and I feel just as attached to that as I do to the EVH.

At any rate -- rock on!

All valid points on I think we all respect your views. Why don't you drop by more often and maybe post some more pics of your EBMMs?

 

[brentrocks]

yeah, i'd like to see your collection

I would rather buy a new Gibson than that one!

 

[Bungo]

And if it was in the UK it would be the same price in £'s!

Double ouch!

I've not seen a modern (last 15 years or so) LP with a top like that one. Holy smokes!

I am not a G!b$0n fan by any stretch, but that Paul made me drool nonetheless.
