I would take it back, its got marks all over it....sorry, crap joke but couldn;t resist. Looks fab!
I tried to get the pics for the latest build uploaded and then tried links but it seems that the only way to actually get the image to show is to resize and I didnt feel like resizing after all that.

yeah the owners of the original really have no respect for their guitars ?
Not my latest, but I thought you might like to see this today.
I talked to the people at Ernie Ball about my guitar. They said the components were made in the US (as were all EVH guitars) but after the agreement with Eddie Van Halen ended, they couldn't manufacture these guitars any more. So the handful that were made without his signature were assembled in Japan.
This is an exceptional guitar that I've owned for 25 years.
Story:
My first guitar was a red EBMM EVH, I got it as a gift to myself around 1994 for passing a difficult exam, and to try to start learning guitar. Found it at Makn' Music in Chicago, the reason I bought it was because the smallish neck (1 5/8", nice comfortable "C" shape) fit my hand and the guitar felt good- I was pretty clueless. I paid $800 for it, not realizing it was a used guitar. Sent the warranty card in to Ernie Ball, and they contacted me saying the guitar had been previously registered. But I liked the guitar enough to keep it- played well, had an amazing birdseye maple neck. Fast forward to when Eddie pulled his endorsement, when one of the sales guys at Makn' Music called me up and asked if I wanted to sell the guitar back. For a joke I saw "sure, for $2400!" and I should have realized something was up when he didn't hesitate saying yes. Turns out I had a first production run model, and the guy turned around and sold it to a collector in Japan for $6000. Well, at least it paid for my first Steinberger...!
Good that it has the J-Bass-style PU in addition to the P-Bass one, Brother Mud.
Nice!! As monkey_man pointed out, great to see the new pickup configuration. First bass I started on back in '78. Then went to my dad's Fender Jazz and I remember thinking as a kid that neck looked and felt like it was a mile long compared to that Mustang....LOL. Great score man!
Got this baby last weekend. It is a from 79. All original.
I remember when i was 16 or 17 and saw this model the first time in a german music magazine 'Fachblatt Musikmagazin'. I was completely blown away and i couldn't imagine that someday in the future i would own one of those.
Those DiMarzios sound absolutely great.
Hi Mattes,
Congratulations.
Jol Danzig sure knew how to build a great guitar.
