Some of the other guitars in that auction are pretty groovy. Imagine what the original bumblebee dime has is worth....

Man.... I would love to have that one. It's the one he played when he was on Entertainment Tonight with Valerie back in '82.

Funny, seller has completed a total of 4 transactions and is selling an item estimated at $50,000.
I don't doubt the legitimacy of this sale, but damn I'm trying to get to 100 post just to sale a few things here on Rig Talk.
I have a 124 transactions on eBay. But when they got hacked and made everyone change their password, I haven't been able to log in. (two or three years ago)

This is one of 5 Charvel guitars that were given to EVH by Grover jackson as sort of a peace offering. EVH was very pissed at Charvel for selling the B&Y clones and labeling them with his name in ads. Grover stopped doing it at some point, but there was still a rift. The guitars were to smooth it over, although I'm not sure it really worked. This particular guitar was played by EVH when he was on Entertainment Tonight in '82 with Valerie. They did a profile on the two of them at home and Ed was sitting with Valerie playing it through some practice amp. Piece 'o VH history for sure and the guitar would be worth $10K in that condition if it had nothing to do with EVH. Those B&Y strat head serialized '80s guitars are the holy grail of Charvels...
Here is Ed's receipt for this guitar. Note it is one of five:
Here is a verification that Charvel/Jackson did for a previous owner:
Here is the guitar when Neil's Vintage had it:
Finally, here is EVH playing it on Entertainment Tonight with Valerie sitting there. It's a bit hard to tell, but if you look at the stripe pattern, it is the same guitar that is now for auction:

No, probably not. I threw the equity loan out there because that's the only way I could pay for it....and I'd be divorced in two days. 
I'd be homeless, with an iconic Charvel!
