He got his body and neck from charvell it was a second meaning the body wasn't perfect it had a knot in it he paid 60$for the body and 75 for the neck. It was made for 3 single coil pickups he actually hammer and chiseled out for the humbucker. It really started light blue but stopped 1/2 way then just went black. Bought the reflectors at trucks tops as he traveled on tour. And people thought it was only a tone pot so they be confused about his sound it was just a 50 k pot. And Schaller tuners and regular strat bridge then Kahler bridge 2nd then Floyd Rose. Sorry for the stupid information on it. I watch him explain in a old video about how Frankie was born.
Dane, I like your vids well enough to subscribe, but I have to take issue. I don't do signature guitars. I don't even have a Les Paul -- and yes, Les Paul was a real person, so every one of those so-named guitars is a sig model, and many are double-sigs. I can't play like those other people (any more than I already do, anyway), but I CAN play like me. Any guitar I own has to accommodate that kind of playing style well; everything else I leave in the store. I've become an amateur tech, too, so I can work with many guitars and come up with something I think is decent. With that sort of thing going on, a good guitar is only a smart purchase and a small amount of work away. Who needs somebody ELSE'S axe!?⁉
in the 70's he used Fender Bullets 40-32-24-15-11-09 he later switched to 42-09's My first build was a Franky ( love the video Dane)
Great video!, keep it up! Loved the guitars, especially the paint jobs, really nice.
Cool video! As always 😁
👍
That first bridge...
Partscasters are awesome!!!
That's my first attempt on a Frankie
Needs a fret job, but nice copy, great paint, excellent job.
Ed used a 9-11-15-24-32-40 until the last 10 years when he switched to a regular set of 9s.
Sweet guitars!
He did a great job on the paint. Too bad he didn’t route it for a Floyd 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
That boogie body was from the 70s. He played it as black & white version when I seen him in 1979. You said it was from 1980.

Everyone?....lol. I opted for a 5150 build.
It'll happen to you
A Charvel Rhoads V striped as a VH Frankie. Kind of ironic.
A copy of a Frankenstrat? Does that make it a FrankenFrankenstrat?🤔
Needs a Floyd
Actually, I really want to build Wolfie's blue stripe bass. 🙂

Look at the balls on you, modifying a customer's guitar (adding the string tree) without their permission. Great video, Dane!
1971
...and I believe it should have a "D" on it for the mint it was made at.
