EVH Striped Series Frankenstein "Frankie"

Widely acclaimed as one of the most distinctive electric guitars, Eddie Van Halen's esteemed Frankenstein™ guitar now arrives within an attainable cost range for the everyday musician in the form of the EVH® Striped Series Frankenstein™ "Frankie".

Sporting Eddie’s famed red with white-and-black-striped paint job and a worn-in reliced look, the all-new Frankie features a basswood Stratocaster®-style body paired to a graphite-reinforced quartersawn maple neck. An oiled finish on the back of the neck allows for hours of playing comfort, while the 12”-16” compound radius maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets was designed for fast and furious playing styles.

This model is designed with an HSS pickup configuration akin to Eddie's initial design, comprising an EVH Wolfgang® humbucker at the bridge, with dummy Strat® and five-way blade pickups occupying the neck and middle position respectively.

A sturdy and dependable EVH-branded Floyd Rose® locking trem and Floyd Rose locking nut work in tandem for precise tuning even with extreme changes in pitch, while the EVH D-Tuna® retunes to drop-D and back with strict accuracy at the flick of a finger.

Other unique features include a white skirted Strat-style single volume control knob (labeled “tone”), custom black pickguard, reliced chrome hardware, standard strap buttons and EVH neck plate.
