that is such a shameless ripoff on all fronts that i'm starting to go cross eyed.
they can churn out any pickup they want to, relic it and sell it for $400 .. noone's gonna tell the difference anyway cos NOONE's gonna play it.. or even solder in, cos that'll hurt the collectability and value, cos it'll be clasified as used..
geez... these EVH fanatics get on my nerves. he hasnt stopped sucking since the mid 80's and he's worse every time he gets his drunk methed up ass on tour. .. ''but he's a legend'' my ass.. he's a lying, drugged up, alcoholic egomaniac, who doesnt differentiate between fact and his own made up stories. and cant play himself out of a wet paper bag these days, yet everyone still praises him like he's the be all, end all of all guitarists alive.
good business man though.. sells his goods quite well. BUT SO DOES THAT WHORE DOWN THE STREET.. only difference is the ammount of money they make
