EVH (Again)


Why does EVH love his Charvel so much that I have seen and have photos of 57 EVH Art Series Guitars that I have personally seen sell on EBay.  I don't know what the total is, but someone online totalled up  the tally from the last time he did this a few years ago.  EVH loves and plays Charvel guitars... all of his custom guitars have a non-symetrical neck, made especially for Eddie, and so do all his Art Series guitars, (which are played by him in concert, and hand designed individually by EH).  They also have EVH specified humbuckers, and only a volume control (no tone).  EVH seems to derive most (if not ALL) his signature sound from what goes on AFTER THE CABLE leaves his guitar.  These guitars go for between 8K and 11K, with the occasional one going much higher (because it is one of the ones with a red background and white and black stripes... currently that's the one that goes for over double what other colors can go for.  What do you do with one of these?  If you have an office, I guess it goes in the case above the table where you serve coffee to future clients... if you're a crazy, you play it...
