I can get a decent VH sound out of a bassman and an sd-1

That Van Halen signature guitar... I've seen it before, but honestly.  While EVH was a legendary guitarist, and I have nothing but respect for his talent, paying that much for a guitar which looks like shite is outrageous.  His was special because he made it, charging people 20,000 times as much for a guitar that cost him very, very little is just stupid.

Whilst I respect that EVH was a legendary guitarist with great technique and all that, I find it a real struggle to listen to him play - To my mind, it just lacks musicality and sounds like noise (wow i sound like an old man :P )

the amps aren't as silly priced as I thought considering the EVH connection.  the clip of him playing it at Namm sounded very tasty - I'll be checking it out for sure.

the guitar is just silly though, there is no way to justify that price - it's just greed.

These types of limited issue guitars are Fender's idea. If the artists weren't involved they'd likely build them anyway. They've done a bunch of overpriced limited issue guitars in the past. The last Jimmy Page LP was the same price, if not a $1000 more than the EVH model. The more recent ones include the Jeff Beck Esquire and Andy Summers guitar. Both around $15000 I think. Fender, & Gibson, are the ones trying to gouge people with these 'tribute' instruments.   :(
