Multi pics of the '78 Legend custom in black  Multi pics of the '78 Legend custom in natural Click here to see what you can do with the '78 Legend model '78 Legend Specs: The '78 Legend model is based on one of the most famous guitars of our times...Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstein or Franky...also known as the FrankenStrat. As you can see in the pics, all of the details have been added to this guitar. Slightly slanted bridge humbucker, extra routing, correct 5-way switch with bogus wiring. As always with this type of guitar that I build, the neck pickup is wired and can be accessed with the 500k push-pull volume pot. With the volume pot down, humbucker only, pull it up and you have single coil only. Eddie of course didn't have his wired at all...only the bridge pickup. 1971 quarter is used on the stock & custom painted models. I won't go into all of the other  details but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. *Body: Alder or Basswood body (Your choice)   *Neck: Hard Maple neck with maple fret board-22 jumbo frets-Scale 25-1/2, 1-5/8" at nut, 2-3/16" at last fret, light satin finish neck, very fast & comfortable.
