I thought Charvel had already released one for a coupla grand, or am I getting different guitars confused?

No you're right. They're called the "EVH Art Series" and are available in white with black stripes, black with yellow stripes and red with black and white stripes. And there's also a "Hand Striped" series autographed by the man himself.

I thought they'd been built by Wayne Charvel (as opposed to Charvel the company), but looks like they're USA Charvels put together at the Fender factories in Corona.

There's a coupla things that bother me about this (aside from EVH attempting to bolster his fortunes even further): Firstly, you can already buy one (as mentioned above) and secondly, when they replicated Blackie they got the original guitar in and basically copied everything about it. Isn't the Frankencaster buried with Dimebag? How exactly are they planning to go about copying that?! :lol:

1. This new guitar is an exact copy of the Frankcaster. The Charvel Art Series were basswood not ash plus they D-Tuna's on them. They looked similar but weren't exact.

2. The guitar buried with Dimebad was the black and gold one what used around the time of VH2 not the original Frankencaster. So Charvel could copy it exactly. Then release it for 25 times what's actually worth.

Well agreed with former post that fender are buying up a lot of the guitar makes, not always for the better....I have a guild bluesbird beautiful guitar one of guilds great electrics.......but Now under fender no more, seem to do mainly accoustics...which are good but so where there electrics.

sorry and to get back on track why would you spend about 25k on a replica of a partster cheap guitar?
