EVH Frankenstrat Build

Ok, here's my second attempt to share some pictures of the build after some help from @strummerfan . Fun project for sure. Unfortunately you can only upload 10 pictures each post.

 

Wow....You have 3 springs on the tremolo. Is it a locking nut???
Never mind. I see it is.

 

It is, yes.

 

Yes. I edited because I seen that it was. Very cool. I wish I could play one. You are lucky I don't live close by. LoL.

 

But then you could show my how to play it! I'm a drummer by trade so I'm not very far down the guitarist path yet. I fall off the wagon frequently and need to re-dedicate myself.

 

When I gave lessons....I told My students that there was only one way to get better.....one magical factor......The Love of playing it.

 

Not sure what your EVH initials represent but those coincide with a certain MB member's real life initials who hails (hailed) from a certain remote California desert.

Lots of work and superb talent to pull that off MM.

 

Eddie Van Halen?

 

I should've known that. We share first names but he's Dutch and I'm Romanian.

 

Wallachians(Valasi) You mean

 

How many frets is the Black,and Gold one???

 

22

 

Why not 24, or is that How they came???

 

Couple more pics of the studio

 

That's how it came. The Frankie is 22 as well.

 

I wish I had the Black and Gold one, but without the tremolo, and in 24 fret. It is Hella cool to look at.

 

The D-tuna set up is pretty cool.

 

I heard they are, but I quit playing a Guitar with a tremolo about 11 , or so years back....I had a Jackson break 3 strings at the same time during a live set in the middle of doing Bush's Machine Head, and I never break strings. It knocked the whole thing out of tune,and I had to finish the song on one string, and find it....LoL.

 

Maybe it's because you were doing a Bush song?

 

I didn't want to, but when You play in a cover band....You play a lot of what You don't want to. Nothing worse than playing Lightening Crashes by Live.....A Guitarists could fall asleep playing that. LoL
