Not a store, nor a reseller. I just bought too many great guitars in an effort to find the right ones for me.

The EVH Limited Edition Star T.O.M. in Silverburst takes one of Eddie Van Halen’s most recognizable early guitar shapes and turns it into a deliberately simple, hardtail rock machine.
Rather than the Floyd Rose normally associated with EVH guitars, this version uses a Tune-O-Matic bridge, making it an unusual choice for players who want the feel, sound and attitude of an EVH without a locking tremolo system. The basswood Star body is finished in a dramatic Silverburst gloss urethane finish, paired with a one-piece quartersawn maple neck and fast-playing ebony fingerboard.
The neck uses EVH’s Modified “C” profile, 22 jumbo frets and a 12″-16″ compound radius, giving it the familiar EVH combination of comfortable rhythm playing down low and a flatter surface for leads higher up the neck. Electronics are stripped down to exactly what this guitar needs: a single EVH Wolfgang humbucker at the bridge feeding a 500K EVH Bourns low-friction volume pot with a treble-bleed circuit.
There’s no pickup selector and no tone circuit, although in classic Eddie fashion the volume knob is labeled “Tone.” A momentary kill switch adds another useful trick without cluttering the guitar with unnecessary controls.
Black hardware, EVH-branded Gotoh tuners and the Silverburst finish give the Star a much more sinister appearance than the striped guitars normally associated with Eddie.
This example also includes a hardshell case, a substantial upgrade over the economy gig bag supplied with the guitar when new.
