EVH Frankenstein Series Relic Red
Product information "EVH Frankenstein Series Relic Red"
There are few guitars as famous as Eddie Van Halen's favourite six-string companion, affectionately nicknamed "Frankenstein". This guitar was Eddie's attempt to combine the sound of a classic single-cut solidbody guitar with the physical properties and tremolo-bar functionality of a Strat/Strat-style guitar. The EVH Frankenstein "Frankie" Series is a tribute to Eddie Van Halen's iconic red-black-white Frankenstrat guitar — finished with a distressed relic look that suits the design.
This solidbody electric guitar, made from a single piece of basswood, delivers a punchy, full-bodied tone. A Wolfgang humbucker provides Eddie's classic sound, especially when the guitar is played through a high-gain amp. Fitted with a slim quartersawn maple neck and a fast-playing maple fretboard with a compound radius, this guitar is born to shred. The body-mounted D-Tuna Floyd Rose lets you easily emulate Eddie's characteristic tremolo and gives you instant access to drop D tuning. The EVH Frankenstein Series models capture the classic Van Halen vibe, but most importantly they offer an aggressive tone and lightning-fast playability.

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.
