OK, looks like the OP already posted 9 minutes before I said that.

I see I was right.
 
Here is a pic of my Washburn Steve Stevens guitar. I recently had it hot rodded. Re-did all the wiring, pots, jack, installed a fatter Floyd Rose block, EVH D-Tuna, & a Jalen 'Fair Warning' pickup in the bridge. The neck has a Duncan Jazz.

Those monsters series were already gone when I tried to purchase mine. They were extremely limited in supply. When I bought mine they were down to 4 guitars I believe. I bought it & didn't even get to change the strings when it sadly stolen from me.
Years later, one of the other guitar teachers where I worked saw one in a pawn shop & he bought it & gifted it to me. THat's the one I just had hot rodded.

There are supposedly about 22 Frankensteins, the highest # I’ve personally seen was 14.

The Famous Monsters is a replica by Dan Lawrence, the original was destroyed and gifted to a friend of Steve’s.

The Barbarella is a one of off with built in ray gun.

 
Very cool. In 2008, I bought my 1997 heritage cherry burst sparkletop les Paul with the ebony fretboard and non-chambered body, that must have been from the same run his was from, when he used it back in the mid to late 2000s. I saw him in that GW video with the Bare Knuckle Mules in it and I was super inspired. I have only seen a couple of others in that exact spec since then.

Ironically, mine has a smaller 1.65 nut width rather than the 1 11/16th; I always wondered if the others did too.

I've got a Washburn SS40 (the import version) I'd part with if you wanted to come get it ;) I don't really like shipping.

That's what I have now, the one in the pic I posted. I had an SS80, but it was stolen. LIke I said one of the other teachers where I taught saw that SS 40 and bought it & gave it to me. Last week I had it hot rodded. It kicks ass & screams now.
