Description
The EVH Striped Series Frankenstein Frankie Limited Edition in Aged Black and Yellow brings one of the most recognizable finishes in rock history back to life. If you're after that raw, direct feel that defined early Van Halen tones, this limited-edition model keeps it simple and purposeful. The aged black and yellow striped finish delivers the unmistakable look, but it's the construction and hardware that make it a serious player's instrument.
The basswood body keeps the weight comfortable and the response balanced, while the bolt-on quartersawn maple neck adds stability and snap. The maple fingerboard features a 12" to 16" compound radius and 22 jumbo frets, so chords feel natural down low and bends stay smooth up top. A single EVH Frankenstein humbucker in the bridge position pushes strong mids and tight low end straight into your amp. The Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo and Floyd Rose R2 locking nut give you dependable tuning stability for aggressive vibrato work and dive bombs.
This guitar is intentionally straightforward; one master volume and no extra switching to get in the way. It feels immediate and responsive, just like it should. We like this one because it captures the attitude and simplicity of the original concept while offering modern reliability you can take to rehearsals and the stage without hesitation.
