Wow!!! I just re-watched the video and noticed you even used the original reflectors with the honey- and square-patterns!!! Holy shit man!!! You really did an outstanding job with this, as pretty much nobody knows about this! Most people believe the ones Fender used are the real ones...(0__0)'

@megatroll thanks man, i built this guitar before fender did their thing, i didnt even have the internet at the time.i had no idea so many people did this.

a good freind of mine gave me those reflectores, he sells them on ebay and has built a couple frankies,he's the frankenstrat king.

@jbstuf

*LOL* the fact you built this thing without even having the Fender as a template or anything makes it even more outstanding!! By the way, I wouldn't mind you pointing me to your friend's eBay shop because the reflectors are the last part I need to finish my Frankie. ;)

[jbstuf]

@megatroll im not sure if he is still selling them but he is selling frankenstrat imput jacks, his ebay name is 65daytonacoupe you can ask him if he has any reflectors.

This is probably the most well done replica on Youtube! :D

I'm currently working on my Frankie (had to delay my project because the neighborhood kids stole my Floyd Rose while I let it sit in the sun on my balcony) Could you please tell me what exact paint you used for the red layer? It looks totally like the original. I screwed up my first try and had to trash the body because I used duplicolor acrylic paint, which gets a consistency like rubber once it dries out... :P

@megatroll i used the same as eddie used, laquer. car touch up paint.

Well done. One of the best recreations I've seen

Dude you did an incredible job there... Hats off

[bigrigJim]

@jbstuf originally I believe Eddie said that he used Schwinn bicycle paint from a rattle can, thats what he said in a Guitar Player magazine interview from back around 1986 , but from the looks of it whatever you used worked perfectly , very nice job there
