EVH-Guitars.com is now offering something the fans have clamored for since the moment Edward changed everything about the way the guitar is played. No more need for masking tape and Schwinn bicycle paint in the garage, the master himself will paint one for you. It is not clear how this new relationship with Charvel/Fender affects his contract to endorse the Peavey Wolfgang and Wolfgang Special but rumors suggest that this may be a transition to a new endorsement arrangement if the Peavey contract is due to expire this fall.
