Also, in case anyone wondering, here is the guitar dude on youtube that kills it with EVH riffs doing a short review along with a comparison to the standards (tldr special has FRT-1000 FR bridge with D-Tuna, upgraded pots, top carve and no belly cut, while the standard has FR Special bridge with no D-Tuna, belly cut and no real top carve): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHd5jhR

I'm just really unfamiliar with these guitars, probably not going to grab one but I would like to be a little better informed. Thanks!

I think I'll see if I can find a Charvel at a local shop today and test it out. If it isn't a noticeable difference, then I'm done!

Pickups are good on both, imo. I think the biggest non cosmetic difference will be the floating term on the charvel vs the non floating on the evh. And the evh has the d tuna. They're both fender made and undoubtedly the same line at Ensenada. I've had to put a washer in my evh striped locking nuts on the low E side to get it to tighten properly. Easy but annoying to get the washers lol. I don't play my striped as much since I've got a bunch of regular strats too.
But I def think that green is hideous and they've been trying to clear them out at least a year. Which sucks because fender makes some beautiful translucent ash finishes and they just went ugly on this for who knows why.

I really couldn't pull the trigger on the Green Glow deal due to the fugly. So I came home, ready to order this beautiful EVH. But I checked some used markets and found a gorgeous MiJ San Dimas that was a pretty good deal (still a few hundred more than this deal with a hard gig bag included) and appears never to have been used - I just got back from picking it up and am very satisfied.
I have to admit, I may still end up with the EVH but I can resist fur now. Thanks for the conversation and information!
