So he got a hold of Guitar Hero EVH edition from his friend.... comes to me and says: "I want a Frankenstrat". He has some money set aside from his birthday and confirmation... So I'm thinking this may be a cool project we can do. Need to decide how authentic we want to make it. Not sure he'll appreciate all the reflectors and quarters and junk... LOL! :D
 
I guess show him pics of the 5150 and the original and go from there, the 5150 would be easier probably and he can choose between the hockey stick or strathead.

Time to start dumpster diving on Ebay :lol: :LOL:

Yeah.. I need to show him the various iterations. Run through the options.
I was thinking of starting with a body and neck from Musikraft...
Not sure about the Hard Ash though... Maybe a non trem-spaced '59

NICE! Thanks Steve. I'll show that to him tonight. That might be what the doctor ordered!

That can be arranged... :D

But that link that Steve posted had me thinking... Are you sure your humbucker is Duncan Distortion? I can't remember if it actually said Seymour Duncan or not. This dude has some EVH pickup that I'm kinda curious about.

Does it actually say Seymour Duncan on it, because it doesn't really sound like my DD. I thought it was because it was older or non-f-spaced or something. Now I'm thinking it could be this WarEd pickup...

Maybe he doesn't remember... Who the fuck knows! No wait! You're right. It was all a clever propaganda campaign to fool Matt into liking the Duncan Distortion!

or it's a way to trick you into thinking there's something wrong with your DD (which is in another different guitar) when there's really not a single thing wrong with it! lol
 
Why spend ~$1000 in parts and then invest all the time to build it when you can grab one of the Fender versions for around $15K these days? :D ;)

There's nothing wrong with mine... it sounds fine. But it sounds different than yours! That's all I'm saying. Different enough to where it doesn't even sound like the same damn pickup! You're so difficult! LOL! :D
