Eddie Van Halen never liked the sound and feel of his guitars, so he tore them apart and built his own out of the parts.
Covering it with red, white, and black paint, he dubbed it Frankenstrat.
And it sounded awesome, although a lot of that had to do with the fact that it was Eddie playing it.
Over the years, he’d modify and swap out parts, trying to make it even better.
And yet, his kids say he’d pull it out, play with it a bit, and toss it on the sofa.
Imagine, Arthur doing the same with Excalibur!
