Wilfred, congratulations.  I haven't seen an EVH on this side of the pond.  Sure do like them though.  I have heard Edwin's on mp3.  Very nice sound.

Broeder Paul, dankjewel! Ik ben er nog helemaal ondersteboven van, wat een geluk dat ze op mijn pad kwam...
 
Because I know you're into photography: don't you think the pictures worked out great, sunny afternoon, no flash used, with a relatively 'simple' digital camera?

I like the shape at the end of the body, how it flows with the same lines as the bird tail-piece.  And I'm sure that the round elbow cut makes it really comfortable to play.  Enjoy!!

It took a while for my new Glockenklang 'The Passenger' combo amp to arrive, but (ladies and gentlemen) I can now proudly present my #1 rig, consisting of the EVH with the dynamic amp duo I've christened 'Double Dutch'...

Ehm, snow?! (it's not much, we haven't got the winters like we used to have anymore)

Snow, eh? I've heard of that. Paul TBO said the same thing about winters in Belgium not long ago. Wonder why that is?
 
While this thread is about your EVH, your Orion is very nice also. I'll bet they sound great through the Glockenklang.

Well, tomorrow this beautiful bass will be back with me. I'm actually really looking forward to go and pick up an instrument that's already mine. Strange but true. I'm relieved that it wasn't sold yet when I decided I didn't want to sell at all. This situation begs for a 'rediscovery of your Alembic'-topic actually...
