Awesome! Best-looking of all the EVH striped series.
The EVH striped series are awesome guitars, and the circles paint job is my personal favorite design of the bunch. This is the only design that isn't instantly recognized as a Van Halen guitar, so I don't feel self-conscious about people expecting me to bust out epic solos when jamming with it in public.
I bought a highly modified EVH circles guitar used on eBay. The EVH neck was replaced with a custom neck ordered from Musikraft, and the EVH pickup was replaced with a DiMarzio Air Zone. My guitar has an NFT (no fine tuners) Floyd Rose and a Tusq nut instead of the locking nut that comes from the factory and is found on most guitars with a Floyd Rose tremolo. I put Graph Tech Ratio locking tuners on mine to help compensate for the non-locking nut.
