Product Description
The EVH Striped Series Frankenstein Frankie in Aged Black with Yellow Stripes is a snarling, stage-ready tribute to one of the most famous guitars in rock history. Channelling the attitude, look and feel of Eddie Van Halen’s original Frankenstrat, this limited model delivers ferocious Wolfgang humbucker tones, rock solid Floyd Rose performance and that unmistakable striped aesthetic in a road-worn satin finish.
With a basswood Strat-style body, quartersawn maple neck and compound radius maple fingerboard, Frankie is built for high-octane playing. The direct mount EVH Wolfgang bridge pickup, push/push volume switching and EVH-branded Floyd Rose with D-Tuna give you the tools to divebomb, shred and riff with total confidence, while the aged black and yellow finish and distressed hardware complete the iconic look.
Iconic Frankie Look, Aged to Perfection
This limited edition captures the black and yellow incarnation of Eddie’s legendary Frankenstrat, complete with aged satin lacquer and distressed black hardware for an authentic, road-worn vibe. The custom Frankie pickguard, dummy five-way blade and skirted volume knob labelled “tone” all nod to the original guitar’s hot-rodded, DIY aesthetic, making this a real centrepiece on stage or in the studio.
Fast, Comfortable EVH Neck
The graphite-reinforced quartersawn maple neck with EVH Modified C backshape is built for stability and speed. An oiled finish on the back feels smooth and broken-in from day one, while the 12 inch to 16 inch compound radius maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets keeps chords comfortable at the lower end and bends choke-free higher up the neck. It is a neck that invites fast runs, wide vibrato and expressive phrasing.
Wolfgang Power with Simple, Effective Switching
At the heart of Frankie is a direct mount EVH Wolfgang humbucking bridge pickup, voiced for tight lows, cutting mids and singing highs that excel with gain. The guitar is routed HSS like Eddie’s original, with a dummy Strat neck pickup and a dummy five-way blade in the middle position. Pickup selection is handled by the push/push volume control, letting you flip between the bridge humbucker and the neck position at the tap of a finger while keeping the control layout clean and uncluttered.
Floyd Rose Stability and Instant Drop D
An EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo and R3 locking nut provide rock solid tuning even under extreme whammy bar abuse. The brass tremolo block enhances sustain and punch, while the EVH D-Tuna lets you switch between standard tuning and drop D in seconds. Whether you are performing big divebombs, subtle vibrato or tuning down for heavier riffs, the hardware is designed to stay precise and dependable.
Features
- Aged Black and Yellow Frankie Finish - The limited black with yellow stripes finish and distressed hardware recreate one of Eddie’s most recognisable guitars, giving you a visually striking instrument that looks like it has already lived a life on the road.
- EVH Wolfgang Direct Mount Bridge Pickup - The direct mount Wolfgang humbucker delivers tight, aggressive rock tones with enhanced sustain and resonance from being screwed straight into the body, ideal for everything from chunky rhythm work to searing leads.
- EVH-Branded Floyd Rose with D-Tuna - The locking tremolo, R3 locking nut and brass block keep tuning locked in during heavy trem use, while the D-Tuna allows instant switching to drop D tuning, expanding your riffing options without changing guitars.
- Quartersawn Maple Neck with Compound Radius Fingerboard - The graphite-reinforced quartersawn maple neck, oiled finish and 12 inch to 16 inch compound radius maple fingerboard combine stability, comfort and speed, making demanding EVH-style techniques feel natural and controlled.
