The EVH Frankenstein Series captures the essence of Eddie Van Halen’s legendary “Frankenstein” guitar, blending classic single-cut tone with the iconic playability of a Stratocaster. This right-handed solid-body electric guitar features a distressed silverburst finish, echoing Eddie’s original instrument with authentic relic details.

Crafted from lightweight basswood, it delivers powerful mid-range growl that effortlessly cuts through any mix. The EVH Wolfgang humbucker provides Eddie’s signature high-gain sound, perfect for aggressive riffs and soaring leads.

Designed for speed and precision, the quartersawn maple neck boasts a fast compound-radius relic maple fingerboard. The Floyd Rose locking tremolo, complete with the D-Tuna drop-D tuner, lets you execute dive bombs and instantly switch tunings like Eddie himself.

Experience iconic Van Halen tone and exceptional playability wrapped in a classic, eye-catching package ideal for rock enthusiasts and collectors alike.
