Decatone: Defo that’s Ed alright This is a really important pic in the guitar timeline. It looks like the first use of the boogie body in it’s raw wood state and Ed’s slapped the strat neck on for the gig? perhaps the neck build was a bit more challenging so Ed stuck with the rosewood fender a bit longer? Although it’s quoted that he bought the neck and body at the same time doesn’t necessarily mean he built franky in one hit? if he did fret the neck himself chances are he bollocks it up, it takes practice to do.

Here’s the Jenny Lens pic which is about the same time, I’ve made refs to the similarities.

Well done! It looks like this could be the Franky in its initial stages! How cool is that??
