Absolutely a great build! Eddie was THE guy, in the early 80's, who inspired me to rip guitars apart, and make them my own. 40 years later, I am scalloping guitar necks, potting pickups in wax. Fret jobs, all that was inspired by Eddie. I don't think any of the big name players at the time had any idea about any of that.
Great job on the Frankie, Jay! I like how you made it "yours". A lot of guys want to get as close to the exact replica as possible and they really go all out. I'm so glad you found Sean at Pariah - by far the best choice for this build! I have many of his pickups in my guitars. Keep up the great content man! Peace
Great build. I love it! Tip for installing machine heads. Put them all in but just loose enough so they can move. Then, take a metal straight edge and push against the underside of the bodies. It will line them all perfectly. Hand tighten, then use an awl to mark your drill holes. Comes out perfect every time!
Thanks so much for the tip dude! I appreciate it. That is something I need to start doing. Usually I’m installing Hipshot tuners with the rail which makes it a breeze and alignment straight forward. Have an awesome day!
Thanks for letting us watch how your Frankie played out building it . Your the first person who actually enjoyed putting it together . Most are obsessed with the whole thing they forgot to have fun 💥 Bitchen job ⚡
Hey Jay you blow my mind away love listening to you you are an amazing artist I am going to listen to everything you have played because I’ve already listen to CCR Van Halen and all of the favorites in my mind soul and spirit you are one awesome guy and your personality is amazing thanks for giving me a happy heart my name is Bart
Oh my God you just gave me flashbacks from the 70s Edgar Winter Frankenstein and there was Johnny winner I will have to Google him don’t know that much about him but I guess he rocked out to
Hey dude! Hows are you doing!± I owe you a message 🙏 🙏 🙏 I will message this week. Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it! Spending the same time, attention and love on yours brother! 😊 🙏 Have an amazing day!
What can I tell you that I haven't told you !!!!! Excellent work Jay. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. You never stop surprising us. Plus you get an incredible sound out of it. Bravo dude
Chris Locke of Locke Custom Guitars is one of the Best at EVH Bodies and Necks, although he doesnt paint or relic them, precise routes and some of the most amazing Necks I ever saw or Owned, his fretwork is out of the box the Best of anyone, and he does Kramer, Fender version so you can build one or all of EVH Guitars. His 78 Neck is so Amazing I know use it on every Strat build I do, and he is affordable, but because he is highly regarded and sought out Builder, he has about a 7-8 lead in time before he can start any New Build on a first ordered first served basis. So if the Best is what you desire , go check out Locke Custom Guitars, you will be glad you did
Dang it Jay! You wicked wicked man! You just caused me to get a knock off Frankenstein guitar I just found on eBay It's a complete guitar lacking a locking trem but looks very convincing as for paint,correct year quarter, reflectors, modded cut cover plate, selector switch in the middle pickup cavity, eye hooks and more I don't know what the wood is but the neck looks to be maple and I might be able to shape the headstock via jig or coping saw or just get a different neck but for $275 for the complete guitar I'll take my chances I live in Georgia and the seller is just down the road in Florida so no international ship risk I'm So Stoked to begin this project all because I watched your sick video here! As I work as a full-time guitar repair tech at GC with a slew of projects under my belt (mostly my own personal guitars) I feel hopeful I'm on the right track! You Sir are a bad man! Lol not to mention my favorite YT host for sure Your Franky is just Glorious! I have to have one! AWESOME GUY! VIDEO! & YT CHANNEL Thank you!!!!
Very cool you got a project Frankie! Always awesome to be able to complete a guitar to the way you like it 😊 And glad you're enjoying the videos too. Much appreciated! Have an awesome day!
😂 😂 😂 don't forget the extended pinky finger while drinking the tea and saying 'what, what!' 😜 😂 Thanks Michael. Very much appreciated dude (or should that be 'mate' in Brit talk???)! Have an amazing day!
Thanks man! Yeah definitely! Finding it painted, with all of the reflectors, hardware, dummy pickup and switch, plus the reflectors - I saved myself a lot of time and no doubt some $$$ One of those lucky moments I am thankful for 😊 🤘 🙏 Have an aweosme day!
Dude... I just learned something from watching you use a half rolled up yoga mat... Here I have been using the yoga mat and always looking for something to support the neck and NEVER REALIZED IT'S BUILT RIGHT INTO THE YOGA MAT...
Ah cool man! 😃 Yes great use of a yoga mat. I have been using the neck support part for a while - its pretty awesome! Have an amazing.... and zen.... day 😉
Hey Jay!! Good to see you my fellow Lynch fan. Is there anyway you could post the link for that solderless push pull pot? I have a kamikaze 4 and I've taken the single coil out of the circle because of problems I always end up with when using push pull pots, I want to put it back on so I think this solderless version might be the answer. Hopefully they have a 500k linear taper version. I can't stand audio taper. Thanks Jay! Have a merry christmas!!! It is in fact Christmas today... lol
Well thought out build Jay. Do you order short springs for the tremolo claw? Damn nice sounding amp and guitar not to mention your skillz..................
Thanks dude! No, I just use regular springs in my one. Thats a good point about shorter springs though! I will check those out as I have a guitar that might benefit from shorter springs 😊 Have an awesome day!
@@jayguitar and remember how I asked you a while back what happened to the videos you posted about those handful of inspirational books you liked? I remember you said something about going to your website or messaging you on there about it or something? And do you customize guitars for random ppl out there in the world? Obviously I love the work you've done and I have a guitar or 2 that I'd be interested to see how you could potentially customize. All that being said please keep up your videos. I've been watching you for a few years now and you are hands down one of my favorite channels. Your enthusiasm with the guitar gives me motivation to get up and start jamming. Like your enthusiasm is literally contagious and I love it. Keep being the way you are and keep rocking! You have a forever fan right here.
@@MrWillyWonka Hey dude, yes - head over to my website - jayparmar.com - and you can send me a message about it through that 😊 Yes, guitar builds I do for people who are interested in the Spirit Dance ethos which you can check out at www.spiritdanceguitars.com - I design and build a few each year for people 😊 Hit me up if you're interested and we can talk about that too 😊
Hey dude, yes I think so as they were just seconds or something like that. Interesting fact - when you do the inflation calculation, in todays money the body would be $225ish and the neck about $385 in todays money! Crazy right?! Such an iconic and awesome guitar that EVH built! I love my Frankie guitar 😊 Rock on and have an awesome day!
Hey dude, I got it on eBay (I say it in the first few mins of the video 😉). Just a random sales by somebody - not an ebay store or anything like that. Have an awesome day.
Hey Tarynn, I had some ESP LTD tuners that I had taken off some other guitar which I used as they were in my parts drawer. Kinda just went with the ethos that Eddie probably just used whatever he could get his hands on. Hope that helps. Have an awesome day.
Thanks man! Thats very kind of you. This was one of the most fun builds I have done. And its such an iconic guitar. I played it just the other day - sounds and plays so great! Support links are always in the video description (Patreon, Paypal Me, T-Shirts, etc). Enjoy and have an awesome day.

Like Christmas morning 1984...you make it look easy! Man, I miss EVH but this is a nice tribute to his ingenuity and craftsmanship. Well done.
Ha! Yep!!! 😃😃😃 I would have been 11 years old - man what a gift what would have been! 😉 Thanks dude! Have an amazing day!

Oh my God you just gave me flashbacks from the 70s Edgar Winter Frankenstein and there was Johnny winner I will have to Google him don’t know that much about him but I guess he rocked out to

Charcoal powder from arts and crafts stores works great for aging the wood on the body and neck

Just got an EVH Stipes series neck for less than 300€. Will use it for a new build ;)
Very very cool. Look forward to seeing your build David. I love my Frankie guitar - its so awesome to play this one 😊 Have an awesome day!
Jay, what is the Pariah “Scary” pickup? I don’t see it listed on their site 🤦🏻♂️
Can it be done.
Replicating the cigarette burns with a soldering iron?
Absolutely an amazing and realistic build. Are you Indian? Love all the stuff you make✨✨❤️
Thanks so much Ranveet! Yep, I'm Indian 😊 🤘 🙏 Have an amazing day!

Didn't Edward pay $50 for the body and $85 for the neck?
Hey dude, yes I think so as they were just seconds or something like that. Interesting fact - when you do the inflation calculation, in todays money the body would be $225ish and the neck about $385 in todays money! Crazy right?! Such an iconic and awesome guitar that EVH built! I love my Frankie guitar 😊 Rock on and have an awesome day!
Where did you get the body of the guitar at?
Hey dude, I got it on eBay (I say it in the first few mins of the video 😉). Just a random sales by somebody - not an ebay store or anything like that. Have an awesome day.
What kind of tuners did you put on that?
Hey Tarynn, I had some ESP LTD tuners that I had taken off some other guitar which I used as they were in my parts drawer. Kinda just went with the ethos that Eddie probably just used whatever he could get his hands on. Hope that helps. Have an awesome day.
By the way $25k is ridiculous as you can get a Custom made one for less.
Fender/EVH is just a ripoff to make money 💰
Hey I want to send you money but not to TH-cam or does it go to you you are so cool don’t ever cut your hair or you look awesome
