EVH "Frankie" Replica to be at NAMM

[ejs0614]

as if the torso / head wasn't bad enough - check out the EVH's "popeye" right forearm...hilarious...the whole photoshop job reminds me of the fitness guy...

[Shwayman11]

1971.

1978 actually

[surfreak]

He looks like David Johansen from the NY Dolls...

As for the guitar's price, I'd say somewhere in between the SRV replica and Blackie, i.e. around $ 20K. Wait and see...

[shreddermon]

Who's the dude in the video with EVH? He looks very familiar, but I can't place the name.

[Bryan]

I cannot believe they're going to only make 100 of them and price them out of the everyman's reach.

This is so annoying. First Blackie, now this.

I mean what's the point? Some kind of rich man pissing contest?

"Look how much we can charge for a guitar! Whopeeee!!!"

$20K? I think I'd rather buy a new car with that kind of money rather than a guitar.....

[Joe_Steeler]

Whilest there are 100 idiots snagging them as soon as they come out, FMIC will keep doing it and even raising the price.
I wonder how many of those 100 know how to even play the froggin thing.

[Rupe]

A few weeks back a Fender sales rep told me to expect them to be priced "similar to the Blackies".

1978 actually

Ummm....no. 1971 like I said. It is a fact.

Isnt that Chip?

[shreddermon]

Maybe. Between the hair tied back or loose, I can't tell, though.

BTW, that's my zebra guitar that he's holding.

And he paid like $180 or something for his parts mutt back in the day..
The irony

[Jason1212]

That's him. So it appears that someone fromt the J/C side of the house has made these gutiars.

FMIC wants to bring in the profit margin like Gibson does. Gibson methodology = sell same shit guitar for MORE money and idiots WILL pay. Yep, 100 guitars. For now.

I'm always curious why everyone always wants to call the people who buy the se limited or expensive guitars names like idiots/fools. If you want one and can afford them, then why are you a fool for getting one? Are guys who buy PRS private stock stuff of any other 10k + guitar idiots? I mean if your gonna go that far a First Act(after a setup lol)from Walmart will get the job done as much a Jackson, so why spend hundreds or several thousand when a $50 piece of plywood will do.

They call them idiots because they can't afford it themselves... I do it all the time
