I have that very strong gut feeling that this guitar will get a lot of screen & play time from here on. The logo is a nice touch. The toothpick trick was nice to hear, and well explained.
Hi Steve, Wow look out Fender Custom Shop. Looks great, sounds fantastic. Love the flame on the neck, makes her one of a kind. Stay safe and well and keep Rocking. Signed John Gregory / Zepbass from Munster Indiana.
Your Frankie Custom guitar turned out really nice after more than a year of waiting for the neck. I actually think it looks better with the black floyd rose because it matches the pickguard, pickup and black stripes... Rock On! 🤘
Birchwood Casey's Gunstock oil and wax like Ed and Ernie Ball used on the EBMM EVH models...Perfectly protected FEELS LIKE BUTTA!!!..and all you do to maintain is every string change put a light coat of lemon oil on there...had my OLP like that for almost 20 yrs and it's not moved an inch...living in the PNW Central WA State we get 110+ in the summer super dry...and low teens and sometimes below 0 in the winter with lots of humidity...still has hung in there..so I did it to all my guitars before I had to get rid of all my gear after my terminal Cancer diagnosis right before lockdown as I was saving to do my dream guitar the OG 5150 aka LWOAN and 84 tour guitar...but had to get some extra funds for gas to drive back and forth to Seattle from Yakima every 3 weeks 3hrs each way for treatment for the rest of my life!!!....But... I get to live thru yalls vids and dream of all these awesome EVH builds and new EVH Gear that comes out...I think since I'm an apt dweller my fav set up would be either the EVH 5150 or a Build of the 5150 from some of the guys we all know who do awesome work!...or the new Frankie from EVH ..heard its AWESOME!!!..the Wolfgang Special in Chlorine Burst in my dreams as well can u see a trend hear??? 😆 🤣 yes i proudly admit ive been an EVH FREAK SINCE I FIRST HEARD THEIR FIRST ALBUM IN 1978..i was a lad of only 5 yrs old..but the sound changed my world forever!! Mom bought me the record and a tshirt after 2 weeks of extra chores around the house....By 12 i had my own used beat to hell Teisco del Rey ..yes the very same model that was EVHs first electric...my dad picked it up on his mail route with a sears and robuck amp.....he brought it home and the 5150 album for a surprise gift for getting better grades.... a month later fall of 86 he passed away at only 39 yrs old...thats why i believe the Og Red white and black striped 5150 is so special and very sentimental to me even though i never even held one..smh..i know i sound a bit one flys over rhe cucoos nest but i cant help myself...it's in my blood!!!... .Amp wise I've been leaning towards the EVH 5150 III LBX-S head and a EVH 1x12 or 2x12 cab..but now also looking into the new EVH 5150 Iconic 1x12 40 watt combo ...anyways those are just pipe dreams for me though 😆 🤣 😂..LOVING YOUR VIDS BRO!! been watching and subbed for several yrs now!!!....PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!!!! sincerely Randy Vertrees
7:06 I did it with a 2000 Squire Stagemaster v2 Dremeled the pocket and slipped a Floyd Rose Pro in it, and it plays fantastic! Don't be scared to do a little modding to any guitar that makes it better. 🤟
Tung oil is my favorite. I take all the satin off my Ibanez necks and slop some Hope's Tung Oil on them- amazing. Plus, I love the smell- even though it probably kills me a little.
Man, these brigde shims at ALLPARTS are sold out at the moment...😡 I tried to get it here in germany, but even SCHALLER - the company in germany that builds the OFR - has not such shims for sell...very sad, very sad. 😪 Cheers from germany, and congratiulations to such a fine guitar!!!!!!!!!!!! 🍺🍺🍺
Nice looking Frankie. I was just about to buy the same Floyd Rose you bought for my Frankie..Question, how old is that black German Floyd Rose that fits the Frankie? It’s confusing that the new Floyd that’s based on the old style with the brass fine tuners didn’t fit. If anyone has additional advice on replacing the stock EVH Floyd Rose on a Frankie. Please give us some info.
Great video Steve! It's great to have the repair skills. You kids out there should learn how to repair and adjust your own guitars! A shim here, and there, and it makes a huge difference.
Goddammit now I gotta build another Franky tribute. This time with no stripes, functioning neck pickup, and a pickup selector. I've done like that with stripes and 2 volume controls (gotta play YRGM just like the album lol)😀
Be careful with Acacia. I bought a Titan from them in 2016 and the truss rod broke in 2020. Had to get the whole neck rebuilt and they wouldn't cover it.
What a pleasant surprise getting a notification for this! Frankie looks and sounds fantastic, glad to see you have it back man, you rock! 😎
The one and only "SFB Frankie" is back. well done

I'm so happy for you two. Together Again

@Steve from Boston - Awesome guitar! Looks great and hope to see more of it on your future live streams. 👍🤘🎸
Awesome! Great job! Looks and sounds great!
Steve. I’m so happy for you maestro. What a hell of a guitar. Inspirational video dude.
Looks and sounds great. Enjoy it Steve. You rock.
The Frankie looks and sounds amazing. Nice work.
Love it. And in the tradition of Eddie you just use why you got. Don’t we all have a few of those?! Haha!
Great story Steve…..and what a great gift from Bobby! 🤘
She sounds bad to the bone 🤘🎸right on Steve keep on rocking
Shame about the 9.5" radius, the original Frankie used a pretty flat 12 or 14" boogie bodies neck, that's how Ed made those wild bends on VH1 lol
The black Floyd's a cool look on it
The black Floyd is killer. I didn’t think I’d like it but it rocks!
Good stuff Steve!
Awesome !! Looks & sounds awesome steve !!! :)
Awesome Frankie Dr. Frankensteeeeen !

The Duncan 59 sounds good. Nice VH tone. Like it 👍
I really like Bourne are my go to pots. Nice choice

the black looks fine. Maybe even toss in couple stainless screws at some point or not. Looks good.
Quality as always :)
Tom Brady & the Frankie two legends that people will be talking about 100 years from now!🤘🖖😎
Yaaay. Looks and sounds fantastic.😃👍
Great guitar, what software are you using to get this cool guitar sound ?
Great video Steve! It's great to have the repair skills. You kids out there should learn how to repair and adjust your own guitars! A shim here, and there, and it makes a huge difference.
Yes!!!

Is the body Northern Ash like Eddie's and the Fender 32000$ replica?
Love your vids Steve you rock
these guys work very fast!
Toothpicktacular!
iiiiiitttsssss ffrrrrrrrrrrankiiiiiieeeeeee!!!
Nice to see a non-roasted maple neck ;)
bobby is one heck of a guy to give that as a gift dang iv got to be friends with bobby haaaaaaa lol
Great!!!
How did you yellow the white?
A long time com'n, but looks great Hawt Shawt! 🎶🎸
Beautiful 👍👍👍
It ain't a Frankie without the 71-D quarter!!!
IT'S ALIVE...IT'S ALIVE!
Where's the 1971 Quarter (eBay)? I got my EVH Frankie for XMAS from Santa (Sweetwater).
You have to install that 80's floyd rose, please, it gives me ansiety :D
The Frankie is one of the best guitars ever made.
Awesome 🤘
Working on guitars can make you pull your hair out...nice job Steve...Eddie would be proud!!!’n
Most excellent brethren.

Glue can cause that white spot.
