BIG NEWS: Frankenstrat II acquired by the Smithsonian!

Looks like it's going to that big warehouse, wonder if they'll put it next to the Lost Ark?

"The Associated Press reports that Frank 2 will be placed in the National Museum of American History's instrument collection although, sadly, a Smithsonian spokesperson said that it will not be on display to the public. Of course, when Van Halen's alleged next album finally drops, there's always a chance they'll reconsider." [video=youtube;q6-rQ6Jay6w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6-rQ6Jay6w[/video]

Link was blocked where I work, so I had to find another. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=12867051 Had no idea what a "Frankenstrat II" guitar was. Apparently this is just one of Fender's replica Frankenstrats Ed played on tour in 2007-08. Moving along now. :idk:
