Dino's selling EVH Camo..

[Cathedral =I=]

Not sure. He dropped off all of the boards he used to post on. Personally, I think he just got tired of all the nonsense...

I wouldn't doubt it, same thing with me. boards just don't rank in my daily schedule anymore, it's reserved only for bored time when all I'd be doing is watching the tube.

That looks sweet, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop him. I'm sure he's making an enemy out of Edward though, but who fucking cares?
I'm tired of rich people thinking they own the fucking world and having the right to tell me what I can and can't do with paint designs.

I need a camo-halen finish on my acoustic.

I'm sorry Cat, but you can't paint a camo-halen finish on your acoustic ... I own the copyright. (kidding)

Jimi's right, I did it in response to Ed's lawyers sending me "cease and desist" letters and eBay shutting down my auctions.
Cat hit the nail on the head with "I'm tired of rich people thinking they own the fucking world and having the right to tell me what I can and can't do with paint designs".

Wassup Jimi!!!!!
I've been around, just not on the boards.


Well ... eBay did it again.
They say they removed my auction for "browse manipulation" because I used brand names like Charvel, Kramer, and EVH in my title.

The fact is, someone had to have reported it to eBay in order for them to take action. Most likely, it was someone who had some vested interest in doing so. Whether it be a fellow builder or Ed's lawyers. Either way, I guess I'm sorta flattered that someone would feel that threatened. Kinda makes me want to build and paint an entire fleet of em!

Hey Dino... it's Lou. Miss checking out your sweet custom paint jobs!

Anyway… a friend of mine had the same trouble selling merchandise that was referencing a brand name product. According to eBay, you're allowed to make reference to your product as long as it describes the items intended use such as "a homemade guitar made for an EVH fan..." you can read more about it under "Brand" and decide for yourself. It helped him - Hope it helps you!http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/...pulation.html#

Hey Lou!
Thanks for the tips!
I was just going to throw in an EVH strap and use that in my title, but "for an EVH fan" works too. lol

I wonder, would "EVH style" work as well? I dunno.

I think I'll just throw in the strap and relist it.
This time, I may even include a scan of the copyright for good measure.

If you list it as an "EVH brand strap with custom striped guitar" I don't see how that could be misleading about your items. I'm not sure if listing "in the style of" would be a violation or not? Ultimately, I'm sure an actual person made the decision to yank your auction even if a bot red flagged it in the beginning. Good-luck to you!

Yeah, it was definately an actual person ...
A person with some vested interest in one way or another or maybe just someone with entirely too much time on their hands. Oh well.

Good talkin to you Lou!

Hey, is that Lou from the old Diamond Dave forums, and I believe also Dime a Dozen and Trader's Den? If so, let me thank you for some sweet bootlegs!

Nah, different Lou. I'm just a guitar building hack - HA!
