How much is a professionally made Eddie Van Halen Frankenstrat replica sell for?
The Fender replica sold for $25,000 but they've been selling for $8,000 on eBay. They say if Eddie ever sold his original at auction it would sell well in excess of a million dollars, setting a new record for most expensive celebrity guitar ever sold.
