Man, I was thinking about starting guitar, and Edward is my all time favorite. Met him, seen them countless times. 1978, their best album (and tour based on recent videos). How can I not get it?

If that is the case, you would really enjoy a Fender Custom Shop Frakenstrat... they are REALLY nice, and here is one with a decent discount on Reverb! https://reverb.com/item/71108334-...hite-black

I literally would pay $92k for the guitar Edward used at the US Festival.

Excellent deal. I paid $750 for it a while back. It's basically a relic'd MIM Strat with EVH humbucker and gig bag.

That's about what it's worth. 😂. The MSRP on this is super inflated!

I think this one was played by Eddie... seller says that is Eddie's fingerprint smudged on the top above the pickups.

Eddie was involved with these and played many of them. He never used any in concerts so the value isn't that great. They will have massive drops in price over time.

I've been listening to Alex Van Halen's book Brothers and it's almost painful to hear him talk about how before VH was popular, Eddie bought a Les Paul Goldtop and chiseled out the pickup pocket so he could replace the soapbar pickup with a humbucker. He also painted the guitar black! He definitely like the tweak things.

If this had a Floyd I'd buy. But still a great deal for a nice worn in player.

This guitar does not have a Floyd-Rose trem. What else is it lacking? No deal.
