Would be fun to have, but the moment someone sees you playing it expectations are going through the roof.

Good guitar of you don't care about the trem. Otherwise, there's a reason Ed never went back after the Floyd rose was invented.

More fun to build your own for under $100. An E-Strat-Bay and spray paint. Else pay the $900.

There is nothing wrong with a plain ole' Trem, if you understand how to set it up. But there are many good types from some good low, to high and over priced. Forget branding and labels and get the hardware with a reason. Then you can label it any way you want, or not. Most recorded industry work requires you to cover up brands anyway.

And there are MANY different parts to many different EVH guitars. Even just the "frankie". So pick you parts and it's still true enough to "the one". It's funny the E-Strat-Bay $60 specials have the headstock shape of the old Krammer necks in Eddie's 1983 (top era IHMO) performance concert(s) footage.

#1 is most playable and setup up (yourself) just for you.

The truth is anything over $100 with guitars; that you fine setup yourself then is just fluff and collector BS. I have two, I'm looking at right now. Both with a total of less then $10 of other parts. With fine paint jobs, as they arrived. One singles, the other Humbuckers. Besides my 1 unbelievably well done out the box, extremely inexpensive slick deal acoustic(AE), I've keep it to two E-Strat-Bay electrics and it's is not easy to fight gear acquisition syndrome! (The $35 Cube Baby amps/IRs and stomp pedal certainly helps!) But I have very, very little spent and yet maximal playable, and great sounding guitars. Only barrier is my continued regular (fun) practicing; which is better every time I play. Traditional theory and always creative stuff, both. Including amazing stuff with harmonics. Like Eddie, I started with drums and it shows. Have fun, daily with your guitar. It can't all happen in one day.

Guitars look great on the wall; but that is not what they are for.
