Ok, so I grabbed some shots for you guys and I'll lay out the specs here too.
Warmoth swamp ash body bought from showcase in gloss black. 4lbs 1oz
Shipped to Mean Street Guitars for painting.
http://www.meanstreetguitars.com
Rear: EVH Frankenstein Front: Mean Street original controlled with a push/pull pot. I have to say that with all the fancy pickups out there that this original pickup from Mean Street would be one that I would actually choose. To be totally honest I was expecting it to be crap, I was prepared for it, I was ready to order a VanZant or VooDoo if I had to. No need to, this pickup has all kinds of balls and it's got great tone. I would buy this if it was on the market.
Birdseye on birdseye neck. Fender thin back shape, Warmoth compound radius, stainless steel 6105 fret wire, Floyd Rose nut, Schaller locking tuners. Which I've found don't hold the tune as well as locking it down with the nut. I was hoping it wouldn't be an issue but it is.
Ernie Ball MULLY MAN logo. Miscommunication on both sides ended up giving me this huge logo. I assumed he would make it small like Ernie Ball does. He assumed I wanted it the same size as the artwork I sent him. He told me that I could send it back to him and he'd fix it for no charge AND he'd pay the shipping back to me. I can't do that, it was an honest mistake and I'm partly to blame for assuming it would be smaller. It's growing on me already though so I'll keep it as it is. Gotta have the Warmoth turtle too.
"Franky" neck plate ordered from FSR Shop. http://www.fsrshop.com Notice the VH stripes behind him. :icon_thumright:
Music Man stamped Floyd Rose. Since Eddie did his stint with Music Man I thought this would be a nice touch. Also, this bridge did come off of an EVH signature Music Man. 1971 quarter....just like Ed's.
And, last but not least, the EVH brand D-Tuna.
Hope you guys enjoyed this. I'm really liking this guitar. The one thing I made sure to do was order everything that fit the same mold as my white Strat down there in my sig. The neck and frets are pretty much spot on. I love the consistency you can get with Warmoth. I know a lot of you guys are probably rolling your eyes at yet another EVH fanboy getting a Frankenstein but, meh, I don't mind. My band some a few Van Halen tunes and this will be my go to on those. Anyway, thanks for looking.
