Disposable income aplenty, but not necessarily real players. But it's far cooler, IMO to get the exact parts of your choice and do it yourself, just like EVH did originally.

    So again, STFU.


    So true ,well said Bro!

    I disagree with this point entirely because Diamondjimi's spirit is one full of wrath and jealousy for Fender, so he took matters into his own hands and plagiarised the trademark.

    Indeedido's is as you say though, I believe with his attention to the fucked-up Ibanez neck issue and his final assembly quality, I could pick his up and probably play right away without the extensive adjustment DJ's requires. Indeedido maintains an understanding that only comes from building and setting up lots of guitars and I like that he shares.

    I do not care if DJ shares, his purpose was for approval. He should get counseling for this behaviour because the approval of strangers over the internet without the accountability of actually knowing them, is worthless!

    My commentary may be a mean-spirited deflection of DJ's criticisms of my "phantom collection" back in his face, but I like to think that having had Ed's guitars on the bench in front of my face at one time does qualify my opinion by at least the smallest degree.

    What is depicted here as 1984 version 2 should actually be 5150-V.1.0

    There are two different guitars here and I'm only talking about the one last seen in 1983, large Strat headstock.

    People confuse this guitar with the HFT guitar, all the time. That's another guitar entirely which I am sure you'd agree.

    Absolute horseshit ,right there...

    Fenders price tag is the REAL crime here,Jizzypumper> I built the fuckin thing because I felt like it . I posted it to share, NOT for anyone's approval.

    Looking at the cover of VH 1 does not qualify as on your bench. Hey stupid what's your password? I hear you have no problem sharing that!

    I will say this for the little fella.......he has told so many lies;
    1) Mick Mars
    2) Working on Ed's guitar and so on
    in one thread, that this has got to be a record.

    You can smell the jealousy emanating from Clay from here and it just pisses the little bugger off that no one, and I mean no one listens to anything he says.

    Like he's some kind of sage full of all this wisdom and everyone basically laughs at him.

    Not sure I follow. All three of those bodies are Frankie with different necks.

    This is the Hot For Teacher guitar.




    This is the Kramer Ad Replica Frankie.




    Similar still, but all three of those I posted above are the same guitar

    Indeed....it's the old saying, if you argue with a fool bystanders can't tell the difference.

    Using logic on Gar is useless. You are right and we know it but Gar........different reality altogether, man.

    And anyone with a functioning brain-stem, unlike GAyR, can see that, and knows the difference on sight.

    So gee, GARgle, when DJ says he wants to build one similar to mine, is that also out of "wrath and jealousy", or is that description in reality only referring to your posts...

    Back on topic, so how does the replica play Jimi? Everything that has ever been said about Frankie is that it's totally crap to play.....any mods to make it playable for you?

    I think that's the one detail all home-builders intentionally omit...and make them look cosmetically correct, but it reality they're little shred-sticks...

    Now you're getting it little fella! Nothing you say holds any weight here or in any forum. First part of recovery is acceptance, Clay. Once you're past that you can get the help you desperately need.

    My opinion meant enough that Jay baited me to look for this thread, so go bitch about it to him if you think I'm causing trouble, pointing the obvious and passing the bitchy-ball back to DJ's court.

    He's been harrassing me in any thread I post in, and now you? I should shed a tear that you two speak for the whole board.

    If mentioning only someone like you would be enough of an asshat to rip on DJ's build is baiting you...

    You had no idea of what the outcome would be of bringing this thread to my attention in the other thread: that's pretty fuckin' funny!

    I like you Jay, you're as consistent as you are predictable and I wish we had a few more mods like you with that sense of humor.

    I agree. It's too bad when a cool thread gets hijacked by some delusional mental midget.

    I still need to crown/dress the frets and do the intonation.Been a bit busy lately. But plinking around on it as it sits right now feels good. The neck fits my hand perfectly and the guitars balance is nice . I'll update when I cross that bridge.... (soon)

    It is quite admirable to take up a new hobby, so late in life.

    Thumbs up Update...

    Did some fretwork, intonation and new strings tonight. Tone for days!

    The PAF has great sustain and is def. great for pronouncing harmonics and picking subtlties not to mention the fact that it's mouse quiet with the potting it recieved...

    If you hung a mouse on the wall next to this thing, it would be dead too.

    Why not just pull the dead gerbil out of your ass, pretend it's a young boy in a public shower and pee on it. You enjoy that shit, you've said so yerself...

    I wonder if there's somebody else on the board that namedrops more than Hale...? I'm just wondering.

    Even if he lived here and had the opportunities I've been lucky enough to have had - people like that wouldn't talk to an ass like him....and he knows it, so he hates. :tongue0011:

    Lived where? L.A.? Hale, I know L.A. is like a dream compared to whatever sticks you came from, but most of the people I know have had the opportunity to live there and have chosen not to. It's really the armpit of the state, for a lot of reasons...one of which is that a lot of the people are poseurs. (Know anyone like that?)

    In the Front Line, I said I was talking to someone a few weeks ago who knew more about Iran than I do... but notice I didn't say who it was. Nobody here would believe me even if I said. But I wouldn't do that anyways, because I'm not a namedropping douche.

    Show some class, Hale. Turn away from the Douche Side. And stop posing like a hayseed.
