Fender EVH Frankenstein

EVH frankenstein
I’ve mentioned the EVH Frankenstein replica guitar before but as I’ve just read The Van Halen Saga book I thought not only was it worth revisiting but I wanted to add it to my Really Expensive Guitars category now that I’ve seen the price tag! Are you sitting down? Ok so first of all there are only 300 of these guitars in production hence the rather inflated price and it is a much closer replica than anything else he’s ever seen or played according to Eddie.

The price? $25,000. And yes that is US dollars so a direct translation in Australian dollars is $29,000. That’s a pretty hefty price tag for a guitar that Eddie once described as a piece of shit!

Clicking on ads has been proven to make you a better guitar player, just wanted to put that out there...

That’s awesome, but hmmm, I think I’d rather buy a car.

Yeah it’s definitely a luxury item! The kind of guitar you would put in a glass case next to your ltd edition Jimmy Page Les Paul!

I bet someone like Keifer Southerland is all over it as we speak.  I hear he’s a big time guitar collector.

Proposed UK price tag is 15,999 pounds (32,670 dollars). For that price difference I would hope that Eddie brings the guitar over in person, and delivers it to your door along with a box of chocolates and/or balloon.

haha, thats if he could stay sober enough long enough to actually remember to deliver the thing!
