EVH LTD Striped Series Frankenstein MN Black with Yellow Stripes Aged
Product information "EVH LTD Striped Series Frankenstein MN Black with Yellow Stripes Aged"
The Frankie is an authentic replica of Eddie's working instrument from the early days of Van Halen. The basswood body is finished in Eddie's characteristic black-and-yellow striped paint — thanks to the successful relicing the guitar looks as if it has already seen every stage in the world. Even the quirky idiosyncrasies like the dummy pickup in the neck position and the 5-way switch dummy in the middle pickup rout are authentically reproduced on the Frankie model. A cool "less is more" guitar in convincing relic looks - an absolute must for Van Halen fans.

There are few guitars as famous as Eddie Van Halen's favourite six-string sidekick, lovingly nicknamed “Frankenstein”. This guitar was Eddie's attempt to combine the tone of a classic single-cut solidbody guitar with the physical characteristics and the tremolo bar functionality of a Fender Stratocaster. The EVH Frankenstein “Frankie” series is a development of Eddie Van Halen's iconic red-black-and-white Frankenstrat guitar - complete with a worn relic finish.
The Frankenstein guitars are a must for every Van Halen fan and anyone seeking a powerful and unmistakable sound. Whether on stage or in the studio, with an EVH Frankenstein electric guitar you're holding a piece of rock history in your hands and can experience the legendary Van Halen sound yourself.
Electric guitars from the master himself
Welcome to the world of EVH, the brand that represents the legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen, known as one of the most influential guitarists of all time, created EVH to reflect his spirit of innovation and his love of music. Eddie Van Halen stands not only for brilliant and epoch‑making guitar solos, but also for the legendary instruments on which he showcased his groundbreaking playing.
Early in his career he built his own guitars, like the legendary Frankenstein. Later he teamed up with Peavey to develop the groundbreaking 5150 guitar amp. A few years ago Eddie entered into a cooperation with Fender, which resulted not only in the now third version of the 5150 guitar amplifier but also in various iterations of his perfectly conceived and crafted Wolfgang electric guitars.
