The tradition of auctioning off the two Charvel Art Series guitars on ebay continues today with the two Charvels played during Tattoo and I’ll Wait during the tour opener…

I was planning on buying a house this year, but…. Of course, it would mean instant divorce

Something I noticed on the ebay listing: “2012 will mark the end of the limited edition run of one of a kind hand striped guitars, which are striped, played live, and signed by Eddie himself. There is a very limited number of these guitars left. On May 22, 2012, Eddie will play the last and final Handstriped Art Series guitar, and this limited program will conclude, and will not be repeated.”

Almost sounds like the guitars have been sitting around for a while and they are just trotting them out to get rid of them.

My recollections are kind of vague on this – but if I remember correctly – they were in a video from around a year ago or so. The video was shot at the factory where Ed’s guitars are made. In fact, seeing those Art Series guitars in the video was looked upon as a clue that Van Halen must be planning on touring again.

Actually, the guitars being played on this tour were supposed to be used on the last tour…but then a few mishaps occured in early 08…this is why the last one will be played in May…as opposed to having two for every show on the tour!

Does Ed even work with Charvel anymore?

Think these guitars and Charvel made through Fender.

One would look awesome in the Bar at my pad…
Is there a massive difference in tone to the Charvels and the EVH Fenders live when you are at a gig as it’s hard to tell on a dvd?

I’m still kind of surprised that he isn’t doing this with his Wolfgang guitars… Even if he used the “specials” to do it, they would still sell well.

…. can you imagine a striped Stealth ! ! ! ! ! it would be a kick ass monster guitar !
