FS: Ernie Ball Musicman EVH. 1991 & Mint!

steveh · November 2018

I've decided to sell my beloved Ernie Ball Musicman EVH Van Halen. I’ve had this guitar longer than any other single electric I’ve owned – 17 years. I’ve hung onto it because it’s simply the very best sounding rock guitar I’ve ever heard. The bridge pickup is unbelievable; hot but very articulate. I’ve owned several MM Axis guitars, both Floyd and Supersport models, but this has smoked them all and has been the one that stayed. TBH, I think that’s simply because it’s aged gracefully. Fabulous, fabulous feeling neck and action to die for.

It’s from July 1991 (see original spec sheet with guitar), which is very early in production. It’s completely original with original solder joints and is in very good nick for a guitar that’s 26 years old. The volume cavity cover even still has the original cellophane on it! Original case also. Only flaw is some mild buckle rash (see pic) and this is very superficial.

I play 90% nylon these days so this is wasted on me and it’s long overdue for a new home. I’m after £1800, which is less than a new Axis, which won’t have the vibe, collectability or sound as good IMHO. PM me if you’re interested. I can show the guitar in London or St. Albans. I've done several deals on here and noone upset yet!
