Although in that EVH guitar you aren't paying for the quality.

You could go to a competant luthier and have one custom-made for a fraction of that rip-off price. If a speculator/collector ends up buying this, I'm hoping they'll end up eating it in the end. 'cuz it all comes down to greed IMO.  |

That EVH guitar is a piece of crap, and looks like crap. With 25,000$, you could buy at least 15 Strats or superstrats |

It's a collector guitar...of which there are many styles to choose from. Not too mention alot of fine off-the-rack stuff that is better than its ever been for a fraction of the cost. But this one is unique in its own way.
The EVH guitar will probably hold its percentage of value better than many custom made instruments...why? Because that Frankenstonian hunk 'o' wood is "limited".
From the reviews I have read, and the description in the link, I'd love to play one for as many minutes as I could just to try it out. If I had the means, would I buy one?
Only if I thought tonally that I could not enjoy playing music without it.

I just appreciate the audacity and moral corruption that goes into making something like that. Anyone who covets a replica deserves to be swindled out of $25K |

But we have to pay $25,500 for the same thing? Well yeah, lots of research would have been done to get this guitar looking as close to the real thing as possible... But $25,000 worth? I don't think so.
