A legendary instrument in the world of rock, the Frankenstein Relic Series Limited Edition Electric Guitar pays homage to Eddie Van Halen's iconic "Frankenstein" guitar. Known for its distinctive red, black, and white striped design, this guitar was Eddie's innovative attempt to merge the sonic power of a classic single-cut solid body with the sleek physical attributes and tremolo bar functionality of a Fender Stratocaster. The EVH Frankenstein "Frankie" Series is a civilian version of this legendary Frankenstrat, featuring a meticulously crafted worn-in relic'd finish that captures the essence of Eddie's original masterpiece.Constructed from a solid piece of basswood, this electric guitar delivers a robust and resonant sound, characterized by powerful mids that effortlessly cut through even the most intense rhythm sections. At the heart of its sound is a direct-mount Wolfgang humbucker, expertly designed to replicate Eddie's signature tone, especially when paired with a high-gain amplifier. The guitar's quartersawn maple neck and fast-playing compound-radius relic'd maple fingerboard are engineered for speed and precision, making it an ideal choice for shredding and intricate solos.The dive-bomb-only D-Tuna-equipped Floyd Rose tremolo system is strategically positioned against the body, allowing for seamless execution of Eddie's signature tremolo techniques and providing quick access to Drop D tuning. The EVH Frankenstein Series models are infused with the classic Van Halen vibe, offering not only an authentic aesthetic but also exceptional tone and unparalleled playability. Whether you're a seasoned guitarist or an aspiring rock star, this limited edition electric guitar is designed to inspire and elevate your musical journey.
