EVH Striped Series High Performance 6-String Electric Guitar (Black with Yellow Stripes)

With a career of being copied, the EVH Striped Series Guitar put Eddie Van Halen's historic and authentic style in your hands. It is a high-powered, high-performance machine as kick-butt to look at as they are to play. The Striped Series guitar features a basswood Stratocaster-style body decked out in Eddie's famed striped graphics in black with yellow stripes. This unique guitar also has a graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck with a hand-rubbed oil finish on the back, 12 to 16 inches maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays, and a thumbwheel truss rod adjustment wheel for convenient neck relief tweaks. Powered by a single ferocious direct-mount Wolfgang humbucking bridge pickup, the Striped Series guitar also feature a single skirted Strat-style volume control knob (labeled tone) that houses a 500K EVH Bourns low friction pot with a treble bleed circuit, bar string retainer, and Floyd Rose locking nut, EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo with EVH D-Tuna, EVH die-cast tuners, chrome hardware, vintage-style strap buttons, EVH neck plate, and licensed Fender Strat headstock.

Bolt-On Quartersawn Maple Neck with Eddie Van Halen's Modified C Backshape

Bolt-on is a type of neck construction that joins the maple neck to the body of the guitar with screws or bolts, resulting in a bright tone with more control. The quartersawn grain runs the length of the neck and as well as being visually appealing is less susceptible to shrinking, warping, or splitting. Graphite-reinforcement rods flank the truss rod for even more increased neck stability, while your fretting hand will feel right at home on the modified C-shape neck, which has a .790-inch thickness at the 3rd fret and .825-inch at the 12th fret.

12 to 16 Inch Compound Radius Maple Fingerboard with 22 Jumbo Frets

The innovative 12 to 16 Inch Compound Radius Maple Fingerboard design gradually flattens toward the heel from its smaller and more rounded profile at the nut for unparalleled comfortable chording and riffing near the nut and seamless bending near the heel. Maple is a dense wood that produces bright, snappy tones, articulate notes with bite, and a tight low end. Versus a 24-fret neck, a 22-fret layout shifts the neck pickup farther away from the bridge, centering it at the sweet spot and resulting in an overall warmer tone. The jumbo fret wire slightly increases the distance between the string and fingerboard for seamless and comfortable bends.

Direct Mount EVH Wolfgang Humbucking Pickup

Not all humbuckers are created equal. Direct mount EVH Wolfgang humbuckers with Alnico 2 magnets are hotter and harness Eddie's scorching signature lead tone that captivated the world of rock n roll in the '70s and '80s. These pickups deliver rich harmonics, cutting highs and snarling mids in spades.

EVH-Branded Floyd Rose Locking Trem, R3 Locking Nut, and EVH D-Tuna

Eddie Van Halen was the first player to popularize the innovative Floyd Rose locking tremolo, even advising Floyd Rose on his early designs to integrate round disc finger-type tuners that you would see on a cello or violin. Now universally embraced, the EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge features the EVH logo stamped on the bridge plate, steel saddles, and a solid brass block.
