Actually the valuations alot less than that. The most recent one of what is believed to be the Frankie was put at 150,000 USD upwards. The reason for this is that Ed has fucked on so much with that guitar, that no one is really sure what is the original guitar anymore.Roth Army MilitiaComment

I would say if he kept the original "Frankie" version 1980-83 intact, with the larger Fender headstocked neck (whatever make that neck is) it could possibly reach $2 to $3 mil.
That's the classic Frankie people desire most, the most requested one - with that Red Rhodes "Velvet Hammer" in the neck position, a switch in the middle, a black Gibson in the bridge, the quarter, the musty-rusty Floyd, and whatever else is stuffed under the pickguard besides the Volume potentiometer.
Anvil Case, too, please - in as-is used condition. Even if the latches are trashed.
Five rumors on its' existence:
1. The 80-83 Frankie had red paint added because Ed loathed seeing copies of his B&W paint scheme on other guitars. So he added more tape and sprayed the red on. This was then sold to Mick Mars in 1986.
2. The 78-80 B&W Frankie was retired as a favored instrument and a duplicate was built for touring (the 80-83 design), but the stripes weren't close enough so Ed added the red and this was then sold to Mick Mars in 1986.
3. The 80-83 Frankie *IS* the true 78-80 as Ed has led us to believe, with the red added to thwart copycats. However, after Ed joined up with Kramer in New Jersey and spending several weeks there between Feb to May of 83, he assembled several guitars from the stacks of necks and bodies he took home. Before his shop renovated into a recording studio there are several photos around illustrating stacks of these necks and bodies, and of these EVH sold Mick Mars a dupe in 1986.
4. Ed sold Mick Mars the original 78-83, truly resprayed, one-of-a-kind Frankie Original Flavor© to Mick Mars in 1986.
5. Ed still has the original Frankie no matter what, except it exists between the parts of several guitars in his stash and doesn't want them fucked with because he "likes 'em the way they are, don't fuck with 'em, okay?"

1. The Original neck. The Frankie's now sporting an EVH Charvel Art Series neck, the original is meant to be in 5150 somewhere (but so are around 10 albums worth of material)
2. The original pick up. Rumoured to have found it's way into the 5150 guitar, then broke one night when a string caught on the whindings.
These are 2 key things which will dramitically reduce the sale value.Roth Army MilitiaComment

yeah but with all that said, it still aint worth 3 beans if Edward doesn't come over and play it himself after a nice 12 step program of course. whats the use of an original Frankie if it aint gonna sound like anything he played on the boots or VH1?"FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKIN' BITCH!

That's very true. If the Frankie that Ed has still is the orginal body, then you still have the following things missing
1. The Original neck. The Frankie's now sporting an EVH Charvel Art Series neck, the original is meant to be in 5150 somewhere (but so are around 10 albums worth of material)
2. The original pick up. Rumoured to have found it's way into the 5150 guitar, then broke one night when a string caught on the whindings.

Because I have yet to see the "original" or one close to it photoed with an Art Series neck.
Maybe you're thinking of one of those 5150 Kramer bodies, which is actually more like the paint scheme the RWB-colored Art Series Frankie is based on.Comment

This one I pick up in the mid 80's from an old stage manager that worked in the business. I keep it locked up!Comment

WRONG! Busted pickups never stopped EVH before, and which Frankie are we talking about that has an EVH Art Series neck on?
As for which Frankie we are talking about, it would be what appears to be the 80 - 83 Frankie that now has the Charvel neck.Roth Army MilitiaComment
