Inspired by one of the most iconic guitars in rock history, the EVH Striped Series Frankenstein™ “Frankenstrat” captures the unmistakable look, feel, and attitude of Eddie Van Halen’s legendary homemade guitar. Built for speed, power, and pure rock performance, this guitar combines classic styling with modern EVH craftsmanship.
Featuring a basswood body and a quartersawn maple neck with a hand-rubbed satin urethane finish, the Frankenstrat offers exceptional comfort and lightning-fast playability. The compound-radius maple fingerboard and jumbo frets make effortless bends, tapping, and blazing solos second nature.
At its heart is a single EVH Wolfgang® humbucking pickup mounted directly to the body for maximum resonance, punch, and sustain. A single volume control with the classic “Tone” knob styling keeps things simple and true to Eddie’s original design, while the EVH-branded Floyd Rose® locking tremolo and locking nut provide rock-solid tuning stability through the most extreme dive bombs and vibrato techniques.
Whether you’re chasing the legendary “brown sound” or simply want a guitar built for uncompromising rock performance, the EVH Frankenstein delivers unmistakable style and tone.
