Nobody would have been caught dead w/o a FR back in those days.

Man, that is WAY outside of my finger radius.

I prefer 42mm, and 43mm is a stretch!!!!!!!!!!!!

This seems to be the standard(ish) dimensions for classical guitars.
I also have rather large hand/fingers.

Interesting, I didn't think of that.

Ordered a British guitar months ago, it got delayed, hoping it will make it here before Brexit. If I am to pay import dues, No Deal

Sure it's not an chinese version.

I had a fake EVH. Partical Board Body, Unshielded Pups. Neck was warped on delivery. Not properly routed for trem. It could have been great if not for the fact it was a piece of crap.

Most definitely made in China, like a lot of items these days, crafted/made in China.

It falls under this brand.

Unlicensed copy?

Vintage electric guitars are designed in the UK and built to exacting standards using only the best quality hardware, pickups and tone woods.

Body - Poplar with Flamed Maple Top. (most probably veneer)
Fingerboard - Rosewood, 22 fret, unbound.
Tuners - Wilkinson WJ807
Bridge - Floyd Rose Licensed
Pick Ups - Wilkinson Zebra Humbuckers (most probably ceramic magnets)

Looks like a copy, not a fake.
Most guitars are usually based Stratocaster/Superstrats, Jaguars, Telecasters and single cut LP style guitars. The EVH looks like a Telecaster body with a access cut into the top the body. All 4 guitars in the picture are copies.

Gonna resist on this one, use the force.

Already got 4 electric guitars, more than enough, each one sounds miles apart.

Sorry, but you're just not making sense anymore

It's like saying "nah, I have too much money"

Though I have to say, I've paired down quite a bit, especially basses. I'm down to one. One MMSR with a delicious roasted maple neck and a sound that will cut through anything. Miss my P bass, miss having a jazz but I just track these days and needed a one trick pony.

I'm down to 7, at the moment. It was around 16 a few years ago. If I sell off a couple of guitars to get that HD-35, one of them will be Spec. Ed. Epi Casino with Bigsby. Lovely guitar, but I don't have the patience these days for stringing Bigsbys. That would bring my collection down to 15.

7+1=15?

I was thinking the same thing.
