Eddie has since teamed up with various gibson les paul custom companies that made multiple copies of the Frankenstat. In 2006 Fender Custom Shop worked with Eddie's own EVH gear brand to create 300 relic'ed replicas of the then retired Frankenstrat. These Frankenstrat replicas were faithful to the original in painstaking detail that includes the smallest scratches and burns. It even features the decorative and deceptive, non functional single coil neck pickup and the unused three way switch in the middle pickup rout.
From the humble investment of just a little over $150, Eddie's Frankenstein Replica's now sell for a cool 25 grand. What's really cool about the bass guitar is that many players were inspired by its success and have since followed the DIY route. The humble Frankenstrat redefined rock music, rock guitar design and it rewrote the definition of what a cool electric guitar is.
If you are talking about popular and cool electric guitars, it will be absurd to miss out on Jimmy Page's Gibson EDS-1275 double-neck les paul custom. This jaw dropping guitar was popularized by Page when he used it for his live performance of the phenomenal Led Zeppelin song - "Stair Way to Heaven". The EDS-1275 offers a 6 string and 12 string neck in one guitar body which removed the need for switching between guitars for some of Led Zeppelin's songs.
This double neck guitar breathe new life to electric guitar parts performance in the hands of Jimmy Page, as he effortlessly switches between necks to deliver intricate arrangements of their classic songs. Thanks largely to Jimmy Page's picture perfect performances, this guitar became the epitome of coolness, dominating the day dreams of generations of aspiring rock stars.
