EVH Striped Series Frankenstein Frankie - Red, Black & White Relic

Few guitars have become as deeply woven into the history of rock as Eddie Van Halen’s Frankenstein. Instantly recognizable and endlessly imitated, Eddie’s famously pieced-together creation became a symbol of experimentation, individuality, and the idea that a guitar doesn’t have to follow the rules to change the world. The EVH Striped Series Frankie brings that unmistakable spirit to a guitar built for players who want to feel a little bit of that magic every time they pick it up. With its unmistakable red, white, and black stripes and authentically worn-in appearance, it looks like it has already lived a life onstage.

But Frankie isn’t just a museum piece. It’s a purpose-built rock machine that captures the feel and attitude behind one of the most influential guitars ever made. The fast, comfortable neck, powerful Wolfgang humbucker, and Floyd Rose tremolo invite you to play with the same sense of freedom and abandon that defined Eddie’s approach. Pick it up, turn it up, and let it rip. This is the Frankenstein not as a relic of rock history, but as an instrument ready to create some history of its own.
