What EVH did with all his Peavey's

Re: What EVH did with all his Peavey's

That's awesome. Good on him for doing that, and good for the schools receiving them.

Which one is Eddie?

i'd love to have one of those custom made 5150's! I bet Ed still has a bunch socked away.
I think his accountant was looking for just the right tax write off

I don't think it's a matter of a tax writeoff. EVH's done alot for charity over the years, so it's no suprise. He probably gets more from the charitable publicity than he would for the tax writeoff, as his management arranged everything.

Doesnt detract from it being a really great thing to do- except as they indicated, they dont have the amplifiers and cables to go with the guitars

I'd almost bet FMIC is going to step up to bat on that one. Very cool of Ed to do that. I wonder how many of them are going to get stolen by over zealous parents?

I'd bet Fender is very happy, they could spin it to say theirs are so good that EVH has no need for the Peaveys and got rid of them all

Doubt Fender would take that line. Those Peaveys were excellent guitars. It's not like Eddie played them for a weekend and got rid of them immediately.

Looks like you definately won't find EVH with a Peavey anymore, he donated them all to charity.

I highly doubt he gave away ALL of his Peaveys. There's probably one or two stellar ones he's holding onto. Just like he probably still has a Baretta or two lying around.

And I don't think it's out of spite, that he specifically donated the old Wolfgang's either. Simply has a better tool at the current time.

Regardless of his motivations, a really awesome thing to do for an up and coming musicians.

That is way cool of him, my opinion of him as a person just went up a few notches.
