Dutchie(1767) | kaloway: Didnt Ed say that the smithsonian was one of the replicas, the actual Frankie is “stored someplace safe”?
The guitar above is Franky #2… He’s probably got a few of them laying around…

There’s only one frankie 
From what I remember didn’t Ed write ‘This is the shitz’ on the neck? probably when he was loaded.
The two oval reflectors on the back had a square reflecting pattern on frankie which are virtually impossible to get now. I think that was commented on by Chip Ellis, so all the copies have a diamond pattern.
I have to say out of all the replicas Ed’s using on stage, I like the one with the new fender wolfgang neck on, they’ve scooped away the body neck cavity, so it’s easy access all the way up to ‘widdledom’ …umm nice!

Dutchie(1767) | Those reflectors aren’t that hard to find… 
|
Decatone(1438) | Cool, where did you get those from?
There was a guy on ebay selling couple some months back for $30 I think.
It’s the only thing that bugs me on mine.

Hey Dutchie mate, not a lot ‘Grinds my Gears’  but I thought I’d let you know what shipping those jokers wanted for sending 3….
“Your Price is $1.19/each. Shipping to the UK will be $35.00″
Be sure to check yourself mate.

EVH-NYC(6) | Dutchie check the shipping cost, i can get them shipped to you way cheaper!!
|
Dutchie(1767) | Damn… $35 for delivery is ridiculous… Postage prices in general these days is getting beyond a joke… Thank you for the offer to help out NYC. I’ve got enough for the Franky I’m about to finish, but I need 2 for the next Frank that probably wont be finish until this time next year. I’ll find some on ebay or something… If I find cheap ones, I’ll post here. Thanks again, Guys.
