EVH Circles guitar

I haven’t been able to swing the money lately due to legal and medical bills. I’d love to get one of the circles guitars, but I already have two striped series guitars and obviously the only difference between them is the paint job. They do play great and I honestly think they are great guitars for the price. I’m hoping to save some cash and track down a silver Stealth. I think you’re going to enjoy that new guit-fiddle, Rob!!

Rob, post a pic of it when it arrives, sounds like a good price for sure..

Nice! I’m very happy with mine. The frets are nice & big and it plays like butter. I flipped the input jack on mine to match the original.
My only complaint is the bridge doesn’t sit parallel with the body. It’s angled towards the rear of the guitar causing the bar to be in a slightly different position than I’m used to. The spring tension is also a bit higher than my other guitars as well. It felt a little weird at first, but you get used to it.

Cool Rob
Keen to see photos when you can bud…

There is a fix for it without having it float. It’s a trick my old guitar tech taught me. It’s called the popsicle trick. You take a popsicle stick, break off a piece about half inch long and glue it in the trem cavity in the back on the wood so the block hits it and levels out your Floyd. Keeps the block resting on the popsicle stick. So it appears to be floating on the top, but it’s really resting on the wood underneath the cavity. Works like a charm. No I did not flip the input jack yet. I hate it the way the bar always gets stuck unless you use a 45 degree cord and I don’t like those either. I did fix the paintjob on the top horn and color in the back like Ed’s was though. Here are some pics of myelf, daughter Molly and the VH guitars.

Ahhhh… the popsicle trick – I like that. I’ll give it some thought and maybe give it a go. Sounds like it should work with a little dialing in. Thanks for the idea!

I use a 45-degree cable so I’m good with the bar clearance issue.

Your collection is mind blowing, I have serious guitar envy!

thanks Pete…. you know Vain I know I might make it 2 weeks and then I am going to have to swap over the input jack backwards because its going to ANNOY the shit outta me to point where I can’t stand it anymore so I’ll end up doing it anyways… ha ha. As far as the popsicle trick is concerned… the nice thing about it is everything is still connected so as Ed always said he does like things to be connected….. it still is. The bridge still rests on wood it just rests on the wood underneath in the cavity which technically is just as big as on top of the body…. so things still work, sound and function the same as he feels they should.
