The 'new' Fender/EVH signature model

stuz719 · 11-16-2008, 04:36 AM

Link.

Doesn't look very "new" to me, shows little innovation over the EBMM/Peavey days, in my humble opinion.

Expect a ludricrous price tag.

Toshiro · 11-16-2008, 04:39 AM

Gee, he made the headstock look like a bottle opener......

Harry · 11-16-2008, 04:44 AM

That headstock

Stealthtastic · 11-16-2008, 04:44 AM

do not want

Apophis · 11-16-2008, 04:58 AM

not bad, but headstock is ... let's say ... unique

Esp Griffyn · 11-16-2008, 07:23 AM

Headstock is awful, and it's just a rip of the old Peavy and EBMM guitars anyway. At least it's not as bad as Fender's Charvel EVH sigs they brought out a few years ago. They were awful, they had the same colour schemes as Eddie's old guitars, but under a super-thick, ultra gloss finish. What looks home made about super polished, identikit paint jobs? None of these guitars are worth the $3000 or whatever it is Fender charges for them.

Maybe it is one! Wouldn't be suprised.

What's with these ugly headstock these days?

It looks like paradise guitars made the guitar

technomancer · 11-16-2008, 11:14 AM

Surprise, surprise Eddie's sig looks like- well the same guitar Eddie's been playing for what, the last 10 years or so?

I do agree though, that headstock is awful

Blind Faith · 11-16-2008, 11:33 AM

Wow its just the wolfgang model but with the unfinished wood part on the headstock cut out how emmm ingenious!

ZeroSignal · 11-16-2008, 11:35 AM

The whole thing seems so contrived and it's awful looking. Even more so seeing as Fender is behind the operations... :/

Mattmc74 · 11-16-2008, 11:45 AM

I think a Teles shaped headstock would look 100 times better on it.

djpharoah · 11-16-2008, 11:51 AM

In my eyes this will always be the EVH sig guitar.

The EBMM guitars that he used just never looked "EVH" to me.

stuz719 · 11-16-2008, 12:35 PM

The headstock looks like the Cort Zenox one to me.

sami · 11-16-2008, 12:36 PM

why does he always seems to go back and forth between wolfgangs and strats?

Whatever makes him more money at the time, I guess. The Frankenstrat copies probably weren't selling as well as they had hoped, so here comes Wolfgang III.

Fixed

"35 years of culmination" resulted only with a new headstock design? Eddie's badass on the guitar, but man what happened to innovation?

JerkyChid · 11-17-2008, 03:52 AM

Is it just my youth and lack of love of Eddie or does it seem like he just keeps going "This is my perfect stuff! Nope, this is! (btw costs more) Nope, this is! (and it costs more)" It makes me think of old Guitar World mags where Megadave would do the same thing. "Jackson is awesome, No; ESP, fuck them Dean! I got my wings!" "With Line 6, I have my perfect tone. With my Prophecy I NOW have the perfect tone. With my Marshall I have THE PERFECT tone.."

The Dark Wolf · 11-17-2008, 04:49 AM

True. It's called "lack of record sales."

And the headstock rules! It's a howling wolf profile. Sorta.

7 Dying Trees · 11-17-2008, 05:55 AM

:/ Not really inspiring is it? An afforable frankenstrat would have been way cooler...

Eh Dave left Jackson cause he was pissed that they sold to Fender. Why he left esp though I have no idea.

I liked his sig Spider or whatever. Because he was like yeah it emulates my overdriven plexi tone. The guy who was interviewing him should've just asked, Then why not use a plexi?

+1 to that,
i honestly don't see the point of this guitar,
it looks utter shite,

killiansguitar · 11-17-2008, 07:00 PM

Am i the only one who really never cared for EVH's playing or his guitars? I really dont like anything with his name on it, or anything hes a part of for that matter....except for 5150's and 6505's.

And of course, if its got Eddies name/signature on it or he took part in designing it, you can rest assure you'll be getting financially raped!!
