How I built my Frankenstrat

[indeedido]

Sorry for the dupe thread. The images didn't work on the other one, and I know how nobody likes to click on links to see pictures, so here goes.

I know this has been done before several times over. But I thought I would share my process with everyone. I do it a little different, so maybe someone could learn something new from my process any way, I'll start.

I've collected all of my parts. All new stuff. I have made some of this my own, meaning I didn't necessarily try to mimic Ed's original in every detail, but I did most.

For example, I got the body and neck from Warmoth. Body is made from Alder instead of Ash/Swamp Ash. I like Alder better. The neck is Birdseye maple. Awesome figure.

I wanted mine to look like what it would had known how to paint. I wanted the same design, only to look more factory finished.

Some of my key ingredients.....

Modified pickguard.




I found a mint uncirculated 1971 quarter on ebay for 99c so I bought it. Here is what it looks like now. I feel I got all the holes and the "dent" in the side in the correct places.




And as far as parts go, the only thing else I should mention is my neckplate. I found a guy online that does custom engraving. So I got an EVH neckplate made. Notice the serial number, 001. Yes, I have the first made! lol
