Oh, yes. He had many such guitars. And he was always tinkering with them, swapping out necks, pickups, and even paint jobs.
His famous Frankenstrat began life with a plain ash body and a rosewood fingerboard. Over time, it would be painted black, then black and white stripes, necks swapped out, different pickups swapped in and out, red paint added, pick guard, no pick guard, broken pick guard, Floyd Rose, and on and on.
