I notice on the front page there that the guitar old School Eddie is holding has the 12th fret dots further apart than standard Charvel. What neck is on that guitar in the pic?

The original neck was not a Charvel neck.
So much for being an EXACT copy.

Did the neck come from Boogie Bodies?

I believe that is what the mag (GW) says. But as long as they are replicating (duplicating) it I don't see a problem.

Oh yeah, this is true, but they need to get the dots right then.

Didn't the black and yellow guitar have a proper Charvel neck on it?

What's Charvel about Frankie?

Am I the only one that thinks that guitar is hideous?

+1. I agree with you. It looks more hideous when viewing it from a foot away in its glass case at NAMM.

So true, To me it's beyond relic.. It looks like a trashed guitar that someone took a ax to. I know that is what Frankie looks like, but it just looks so cheap.

"beyond relic".....I think you just invented the next new marketing term!

Next up from the Fender CS teams.


The Jimi Hendrix "Beyond Relic©" Monterey Pops burnt Stratocaster.
MSRP$45000
1000 will be made

My guess would be that EVH should make a few million of the Relic guitars. At $20,000 per unit sold multiplied by 300 that's 6 million. He should get half or so since it's his design (you would think). After manufacturing costs, taxes, and dealer profits that's still a boatload of cash.

No EVH Frankenstein = no crazy $$$ for Fender.

I'll bet they will be the same price as the blackies... around $25000. Which is ridiculous for a piece of wood but people will buy them :ROTF:

Somehow it still makes a lot more sense to me than spending $200,000 on a car. Im pretty sure Id buy one if I had the money.
