EVH "Frankie" Replica to be at NAMM

[Shawn]

And then again, the feature story on the building of "Frankenstein" in this month's Guitar World (pg. 65) starts with: "Chip Ellis of the Jackson/Charvel Custom Shop reveals the secrets behind the EVH Replica Guitar."

I ordered 10 of them. One for each bedroom, bathroom, and car so I am never very far from one.

Problem is, I dont have enough money for amps now.

Yes, I was being sarcastic because I was told I was wrong and its a C/J project.

[Joe_Steeler]

"and the Fender custom Shop"

Is that what you are talking about?

[AK47]

If you mean by Chip being an FMIC employee your right. If you mean he works on the Fender side building strats your wrong. Chip is a Jackson/Charvel man.

Please clarify this pic and what is it I read?

[RacerX]

Somewhere there's gotta be a dude with a huge poster of Frankie with all measurements & dimensions marked off...

and a web site as well

Cool! They got a 360 degree view thingie there, just like on auto manufacturer websites.

At the Guitar center in king of Prussia PA this local dude made a replica of it and its like perfectly identical to it for 2,000 bucks i think i might go buy it rather than $20k on a new one

[AK47]

Thanks for clearing that up I never heard of him on the JC side.

Correct me if I am wrong thats not Mike Shannon or a J/C luthier in the article its a Fender CS luthier.

Since we're all guessing here, my guess is that the Frankie project was started before Ed & Fender made the deal for Ed to get his own whole product line. Now that he has his own line, the Frankie is a great way to make a big marketing splash. If he really had a problem with the QC on the J/C side, he probably wouldn't have had those guys build the Frankies. JMO.
