Wow...sorry this is just bad. Try dropping to C#, sounds much better. Imitation is the best form of flattery...but only to a point. Forget it...better off just playing something on your own.
Pretty close replica, but not the 25k Fender one. A few ways to tell: The last neck that Eddie had and what they used for the replica is only 21 frets. Also, there is dirty masking tape to the right of the pickguard. Slag's has 22 frets and no tape.
Thinking about doing one of these frankensteins myself just need to know how to get started. What guitar is preferred for it and the pickups I know the rest
@Sean2592 use an ash Fender body and neck, a floyd rose bridge, then a gibson 57 if you can for the bridge pickup, the neck pickup is a fake one, so when i built mine, i used a squire one. the only hard part is the paint really, so get to to it!
@germanygibson i don't really have time for that kind of thing. i'm a construction worker that works out of state so i just need a guitar to buy any advice there?
@RtasVadumeeKostas Funny how much money peeps pay for a "replica"...who gives a crap? Make your own guitar for half that price and be happy with it. Maybe I'm wrong here but I thought this song was dropped C# not D. Well, that's how I learned it and sounds better I think. Have fun!
@TheMadMusicMan Don't be a smart-ass. It doesn't matter what key you or "Ed" tunes in... C# is still the same...any note is still the same note, regardless where you choose to play it.
@DickLodge68 Calm down you fool. The fact of the matter is, he is playing in the key of Db, but the position on the guitar is Drop D. He's not playing in D as far as pitch is concered. Therefore when you claim "it sounds better to play in C#" you make no sense as he is in C#. I have perfect pitch and can hear from the start that he is in Db. So go play around with your boyfriend!
@DickLodge68 I understand that C# is Db, just as Gb is F#. You claimed that he was playing this song in the key of D, but that it sounds better in C# or Db. Well, he is playing in Db or C#. So try again son.
@TheMadMusicMan Hey, "son", put the bong down. I never said that. Here's my original post : "Funny how much money peeps pay for a "replica"...who gives a crap? Make your own guitar for half that price and be happy with it. Maybe I'm wrong here but I thought this song was dropped C# not D. Well, that's how I learned it and sounds better I think. Have fun!"
Just go away already! Give it up...we both know it's in dropped C#/Db. It's the others that should know.
@DickLodge68 What a buffoon you are. You claim in the second to last sentence that "the song in drop C#, not D." Unless you are a complete clown, that sentence would imply that "Jimmy" is playing in Drop D. I just get a kick out of annoying you. Have fun with your sweetie tonight!
In response to the people who say Rany Rhodes is a better guitarist...whatever! Everybody is entitled to their opinion.However,saying that Eddie Van Halen did nothing for guitar is just stupid and they know nothing about the history of the importance of Eddie Van Halens contibutions to music...(the d tuner,introduction of the Floyd Rose tremelo etc.) Then somebody says that RR mixed classical with metal.....have you ever heard the Van Halen songs,"Cathederal" or even "Spanish Fly?"
@joka352 I think both of them were the 2 main figures in changing how the guitar was played, Eddie was rock and Randy was Metal, They both really opened the doors for those 2 styles of playing. Ofcourse Rock and Metal was around before but Eddie and Randy took things to the extreme and blew everyone else out of the water.,
Anyone trying to compare the 2 is a total noob idiot.
@dimeowns100 Dropped some strings Check out the lesson. Link on this page. drop low E to D at least. I'm too drunk to listen to my master after a binge session. Got that from Ed, too...
Nice! I love the axe too! Did you make that yourself? I made a Frankie copy in high school out of a Squire Bullet, hardly worth it, but I was pretty happy with the turnout, you've done much better. I didn't know about the back of the guitar so I just put a white stripe like the Diver Down cover across it.
Sounds great andd the gitar is a star but the best VH impersonator is a dude named SATCHBOOGY. Check his shit out. He has the nicest guitars, too. Again though, u kicked the shit outta that.
hey jimmy What kind of humbucker in them fankenstein guitar made by fender,because im making my frankenstein guitar thanks for any help you guys can give me thanks again reedo.
Nice job man! And killer attention to detail on the Frankie! Please check out my version of Unchained - I'd be interested to know what you think. I found a backing track with bass/drum/vocals, so all the guitar is me :) =VH= forever!
Sad really...for the people WHO claim to be aspiring guitarist...Face it music is music, put it down, record it and quit the hating ! The people will let y'all know when your good ! God bless all these HATE MONGERS...Do you ever hear HATE in any good muscians talent ? Nope, they just want to SHARE thier ability to express ones'self ! Get a grip...Who really is after you people ??? Inner Demons, I guess, sad.
You all don't know shit about music. You're (sorry, your) all a bunch of shit for brains. I wish I could have (sorry, of) seen VH in, like, 1982. They were one of the best bands (sorry, band's) around.

R.R Polka Dot "V" is the meanest motherfucken guitar ever built! EVH got his parts in the junk bin...hahahaha! You dummy! That's no piece of art it was a piece of shattttttttttttttttttt!
Randy Rhoads bought his guitar. Eddie Van Halen made his own guitar. EVH is a resourceful man who makes his own insturments! Is there a Randy Rhoads brand guitars? NO!
Eddy didn't make shit you cum bubble... he used part's... and truck reflectors and spray paint. He's body cost 80$ from the junk bin at charvel guitars and the neck 50 $.. you should stick to hendrix and never mind about EVH and yes there is R.R brand guitars all over the place at jackson dealers and his famous V gets build all the time :) There all custom made nevertheless. practice your fagatron tapping and leave RR to me :)
Xavier: Randy played Quiet Riot 1 with at black Les Paul copy. He was so good that when they did QR #2 the producers bought the creme colored Les Paul for him. Then the black polka dot V was built by luthier Karl Sandoval, then the first white shark V by Jackson, the rest is history. Rhoads was 100 times more talented and humble than this egomaniac Eddie (sloppy ) Van Hardon.
Helmuth I think your last name speaks volumes for you, hows it working out for you so far ? Good, I thought so...Calling Eddie sloppy is a disgrace to all musicians.. At least you covered a bit of Eddies talent's in your futile attempt at calling hin HARD ! He played very hard..Funny I haven't heard your musical acknowledgements or achievments in Rock history ? Other than knowing what someone else claimed their fame on ! Idiot !
In response to the dickhead who thinks the RR polka-dot guitar is more famous than EVs "Frankenstein." You sir,are a douche! Its an original piece of art work.Polka dot guitars were around before Randy Rhodes was an itch in his daddys pants....check out Buddy Guys guitars.I have nothing but the utmost respect for the late Mr.Rhodes and his work. They are both great guitarists.
@joka352 the RR polka-dot is more famous then this... and thats ofcourse because RR was a much better guitarrist then Van Halen im not saying VH sucks RR is just in a different league...
@darthhull85 uhmm yes he did... he was one of the first (if not the first) to mix classic with heavy metal and he have inspired many bands/people you wanna explain what VH did to the guitar?
@iggvf well for starters he made tapping what it is today. yeah. thats alot of work, because so many people tap now and it was all him. he didnt invent it. he just made it popular
@FenderBenderXP If you read what I wrote,you would see that I agree....'Frankenstein" was more than a guitar with a cool paint job. As far as limited editions....I would still pick the Fender EVH over the new Randy Rhodes "Concorde" model that was just released.I was just saying that if ANYBODY thinks RRs guitar is more famous than EVHs guitar....well,thats just stupid!
@joka352 Well, i would disagree. You see Jackson RR guitars in almost every guitar store all over the world and a ton of other bands guitarists use RR shape guitars... i havent seen a lot of EVH guitars with any other guitarist than Eddie himself and the other guitarist of Angra... I dont see why EVH guitars would be more famous than RR models.. though they are a lot more cooler than RRs :D
mrmario r u kidding me evh is one of the greatist guitar players that ever lived and ur calling him a drunken washed bafoon if u believe wat u said then u r a retarted peice of shit
All you posers play EVH cause your afraid to learn the real deal "RANDY RHOADS" hahahaha! Bunch of panzie ass motherfucker's! Eddy is a drunken washed bafoon and and sloppy player give it up he fucken sucks!
sorry to dis agree bro but i'm no panzie i play randy and evh love um both i have say i do all randys shit if you understand music its not that hard at all evh shit is just difficult himself yes he had sme bad drinking problems nowadays but its wat he did on the guitar thats that counts wizardry if you ask me randy was great to and he even said him self that eddie was excellent randy got tapping ideas off eddie so in a way eddie even inspired randy so dont go givin people negavtive ideas on him
@LaurensVandoorne its 25 grand cuz it takes for fucking ever to make the guitar cuz they have to make everything exactly right. well its also 25 grand cuz fenders are always overpriced. it shud be a fair 13 grand
@frankenstrat25 not to stir any pot here, but the fender had a lot wrong with it. the reason its 25k is because ed doesn't like to be fucked around with, so he knew people would buy it, and not be able to sell it for a profit.
Nail it baby boy! Back in the day I could never figure out what was going on in the "fast city address" part. the wird time and voicing. You have it down.
no its not the replica. the replica's are meant to look worn down after 30 years of eddie playing it... plus it comes with the pick holder on the front of the guitar and as you can clearly see, its missing. its fake.
(u use propably the MXR evh flange with the evh button, but can you tell me what are the settings when you turn the buton on?) I own a flanger myself but not the evh model, a boss bf-2, and i would like to play this song)
The tones that EVH got on that classic record are among the greatest ever, and a huge part of Eddies guitar sound has always been the MXR Phase 90. The Phase 90 contributed to the unbelievable tones on "Eruption," "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love," "On Fire," and "Atomic Punk," plus many other timeless Van Halen tracks.
he said in an interview online that on and the cradle will rock, he plugged his keyboard into his marshall and pedalboard. that is the distorted "guitar" sound. if you listen real closely you will hear that. also to get the sound at the beginning and breaks in the song, he hit the lowest key with flanger on.
Jimmy great playing and great tone love the guitar if it is a replica or not. Any man that would spend $25.000 on a guitar is a jackass Eddie made Frankie for $300.00 or so.And Fender is over rated with a BIG NAME! Just check out there web sight you cant buy a Fender with a good Floyd Rose. Eddie cant stand Fender and just did it for the money. So Jimmy you keep playing what ever it is your playing because You make it sound good.
TitanAE2008 for your info Eddie VH did not like a 24 fret neck and only had 1 or 2 with that one i can think of was a Kramer with a Gibson Explorear neck . And the pick tape was not on the lower horn at all times. so go and do your homework before posting such comments.
Nice fake replica u got there! Frankie never had 22 Frets and there is no roll of tape for picks on the lower horn. Just 2 of the many differences that I can see. Pretty cool that it looks like that tho! Nice tone too! Keep rockin but it ain't the Fender 25k version.
the original frankenstrat was made for 200 dollars the most, more like 150. Charging 25,000 for a replica is ridiculous, anyone who buys that is probably a rich collector and not a player.
If someone wants a frankenstrat bad enough the best way is to make your own.
I agree 25k is crazy. But if the person makes 75k one day off it I guess to him it is a win. I like the D-Tuna mod on yours. Keep on Rockin' the VH stuff! :)
Funny how all the timing is off and absolutely no foot/leg movement when the pedal needs to be used...very suspicious...

I dont see why EVH guitars would be more famous than RR models.. though they are a lot more cooler than RRs :D

Randy Rhoads Polka Dot "V" Most famous guitar on earth! Not EVH Fankenberry piece of SHAT!...hahahaha! Fucken crap cost 180$
MrMario1969 2 years ago
It's not the actual replica. Lack of cig burns, no tape on the bottom horn, no glue residue from putting on the reflectors...
An awesome homemade though! I'd buy that on for 1 or 2 K!

He didn't pay $25.000 thousand for that piece of shit. You can build your own for 150 $ Like eddy did..hahaha!

that 'piece of shit' sounds great.Probably the same as that 25K guitar,wich is overpriced.

@LaurensVandoorne its 25 grand cuz it takes for fucking ever to make the guitar cuz they have to make everything exactly right. well its also 25 grand cuz fenders are always overpriced. it shud be a fair 13 grand
frankenstrat25 1 year ago
@frankenstrat25 not to stir any pot here, but the fender had a lot wrong with it. the reason its 25k is because ed doesn't like to be fucked around with, so he knew people would buy it, and not be able to sell it for a profit.

no its not the replica. the replica's are meant to look worn down after 30 years of eddie playing it... plus it comes with the pick holder on the front of the guitar and as you can clearly see, its missing. its fake.

Which flanger do you use and what settings?
(u use propably the MXR evh flange with the evh button, but can you tell me what are the settings when you turn the buton on?) I own a flanger myself but not the evh model, a boss bf-2, and i would like to play this song)
AMFGguitarist 2 years ago
its a phaser not a flanger
dmenach 2 years ago
no it is a flanger, a flanger has a more swooshing sound and a phaser is more subtle and... phasy.
texasranga 2 years ago
No man, It´s a Flanger. Eddie uses Phaser for other songs like Ai´nt talkin ´bout love.
Perikado 2 years ago 2
he uses a flanger in aint talkin bout love
Diisafatslag 2 years ago
The tones that EVH got on that classic record are among the greatest ever, and a huge part of Eddies guitar sound has always been the MXR Phase 90. The Phase 90 contributed to the unbelievable tones on "Eruption," "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love," "On Fire," and "Atomic Punk," plus many other timeless Van Halen tracks.
Perikado 2 years ago
why have you told me something i already know. he also used a flanger, did you know that?
Diisafatslag 2 years ago
You're right, but in this song (unchained), he uses an MXR Flanger. It's the same tool he uses on And the Cradle will Rock...
EddieIsKing2009 2 years ago
Thanks EddieIsKing2009. I´ve got a little bit of reason.
Perikado 2 years ago
he said in an interview online that on and the cradle will rock, he plugged his keyboard into his marshall and pedalboard. that is the distorted "guitar" sound. if you listen real closely you will hear that. also to get the sound at the beginning and breaks in the song, he hit the lowest key with flanger on.
Guitarchordhelper 2 years ago
A flanger was used in the "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love"'s intro, while a '70's MXR Phase 90 phaser was punched in during the solo.
This same phaser is also oheard in the solo's of many other VH songs off that album. It was also used in the intro of Atomic Punk.
meanstreetman22 2 years ago
No actually he uses a phase 90 in that song. He also uses it from the tapping part on in eruption.
EddieIsKing2009 2 years ago
Gotta agree with u cuz i play guitar and i use flange for unchained and phaser for Ain't talkin' 'bout love

yeah he uses a flanger on Ain't Talkin Bout Love. there's a phaser during the solo, but he uses the flanger for everthing else

Jimmy great playing and great tone love the guitar if it is a replica or not. Any man that would spend $25.000 on a guitar is a jackass Eddie made Frankie for $300.00 or so.And Fender is over rated with a BIG NAME! Just check out there web sight you cant buy a Fender with a good Floyd Rose. Eddie cant stand Fender and just did it for the money. So Jimmy you keep playing what ever it is your playing because You make it sound good.

TitanAE2008 for your info Eddie VH did not like a 24 fret neck and only had 1 or 2 with that one i can think of was a Kramer with a Gibson Explorear neck . And the pick tape was not on the lower horn at all times. so go and do your homework before posting such comments.
yulboden 2 years ago
Nice fake replica u got there! Frankie never had 22 Frets and there is no roll of tape for picks on the lower horn. Just 2 of the many differences that I can see. Pretty cool that it looks like that tho! Nice tone too! Keep rockin but it ain't the Fender 25k version.
titanAE2008 2 years ago
the original frankenstrat was made for 200 dollars the most, more like 150. Charging 25,000 for a replica is ridiculous, anyone who buys that is probably a rich collector and not a player.
If someone wants a frankenstrat bad enough the best way is to make your own.
kps142 2 years ago 2
I agree 25k is crazy. But if the person makes 75k one day off it I guess to him it is a win. I like the D-Tuna mod on yours. Keep on Rockin' the VH stuff! :)
