This was built by a highly talented, although extremely controversial, builder named James Duffy. This was his personal guitar which he called the "Frankenstraat" - At one point, it had all period-correct parts: '82 Pacer neck and prototype Floyd FR-100 in gold. It has a PAF that was rewound by Marciela “MJ” Juarez at Seymour Duncan. There were many wild claims about this guitar but most can't be proven. Either way, it's rather incredible to play and look at. I bought it for the detail and added characteristic of the guitar looking like it has been played in bars for the last 30 years. I didn't really expect for some of the claims to be true.
James, at one time, was considered one of the best Frankenstrat builders during the early to mid-2000s. There are rumors that even Chip Ellis visited his webpage to gather info to build Eddie's own replica. Unfortunately, it seemed that James got overwhelmed by the amount of orders and couldn't keep up and couldn't deliver his products in a timely fashion. He seems to have an incredible knowledge but is somewhat deemed an outcast by the VH replica world. James was also the guitar tech for Godsmack's guitarist at one point.
He has acquired many rare EVH parts such as a true #022 Azusa body and shortly had the '83 Kramer Beak neck before selling it.
The '82 Pacer neck eventually warped and was replaced by a clone made by James. He claimed the body was an Azusa body. I ordered a gold FRT-4 (technically an FR-100) replica to be made for it. It currently has the original '82 Pacer tuners on it.
