Funny, I was under the impression the makers of that guitar neck had time travelled into the future and named their company after an overacting character in a little know comedy show mostly about nothing.

At first i thought it was Mississippi Fred McDowell, but then I realised it's Albert King.

Where's that pic of EVH's head on Gollum's (LOTR) body? That's a classic.

But yeah, that's not Frankie. Frankie is his original B&W which he later re-striped and re-painted, adding the red to it.

However, the neck is the original. Kramer reshaped the head and attached their hockeystick mods to it, according to insiders at FMIC/Charvel to whom Ed lent the guitar so they could make the EVH models.

I always wondered what that was crammed into the center single-coil route in Frankie. I saw the replica at NAMM in 08 : it's the original 5-way blade switch, all crusty and corroded.

Actually that was a name brand guitar. Kramer body (Pacer Special to be exact) and neck made by Paul Unkert who at the time was a Kramer employee.
