It's an understatement to say that the EVH Striped Frankie is stunning to behold. With reliced hardware and an authentic finish, it would be easy to believe that it's been plucked straight out of the museum. But don't be fooled by the beat-up electronics and dummy single coil. This guitar was built to sing. Bring the noise with the EVH Wolfgang bridge pickup. This vintage-style humbucker is full of high-output timbre, delivering tight bottom end, punchy mid range, and crisp highs. Mounted directly onto the body, the Wolfgang resonates with full expression, giving you access to the natural sound of the tonewood. One pickup. One control. Unlimited versatility.
EVH haven't spent all their time just recreating the body. The quartersawn maple neck is every bit as comfortable as the original, promoting unrivalled access to your frets. Shred with ease on a 25.5" scale length. Solo with precision thanks to jumbo frets. Riff all night with a 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard. Every element has been sculpted for perfection. The next time you're playing Van Halen's 'Eruption', you'll see exactly why he built the Frankenstein. The locking nut keeps your tuning in check, whilst the graphite reinforcement prevents warping and bowing. No matter how demanding your performance, the Striped Frankie is up to the test.
Good looks meets great playability. The EVH Striped Frankie is the perfect balance of style and substance. Discover fully expressive vibrato with a versatile trem bar that's designed to leave your tuning undisturbed. Whether you're soaring high or diving deep, you'll always get the sound you deserve. But Van Halen isn't just renowned for his whammy work. The Striped Frankie comes fitted with the same D-Tuna bridge piece that made live performances so legendary. Go from E to D in under a second, and right back again just as quick. This intuitive hardware gives you even more scope for creative flair. That means solos that are bound to get you noticed.
