I'd have to want to relive mid-80's VH a little more than I already do. The Strat headstock and the Frankie graphic is close enough for me.

FTR, I like the Frankie with the strat headstock much better, not a big fan of the nanner 'stock. It was kinda cool then, but looks goofy to me now, eh, tastes change.

Yep. Heres a pic of Eddie and his wife holding guitars that look nearly identical. If you look closely, you will notice that the one Eddie is holding has one star and the one Valerie is holding has two...

Correct. It's Valerie Bertinelli, Ed's first wife and America's sweetheart.

I really like the 5150 logo on it! Looks badass!

Re: Take my money! NOW!!!!!

The star on the headstock (as well as the one in the cutaway) was an identifier since Eddie had multiple guitars that looked the same in the darkly lit backstage area. 5150 had a single star because it was #1.

Oh wow I did not know that, very interesting thanks for the new knowledge haha!
