EVH Striped Series

The EVH Striped Series pays tribute to the rock guitar legends' most recognisable guitars.

Eddie Van Halen is of course loved for his amazing guitar skills and songwriting, but is also definitely recognised for popularising hot-rodded guitars and birthing the superstrat. During his pursuit of sound, Eddie was after a Strat-style guitar, with a beefier tone. His conclusion was to carve out the pickup cavity in a Strat body, ditch the electronics bar the volume control and jack socket, and drop in a humbucker pickup that was removed from another guitar.

The result was a new style of guitar, that combined for the first time, a six point style tremolo system with a humbucker pickup. To give the guitar a more striking appearance, tape and paint was applied to really make the guitar stand out, and a legend was born. The white and black striped Frankenstrat, later to be the more recognisable red, white and black guitar would be modded and improved as new innovations arose, including the Floyd Rose tremolo and locking nut. The EVH Striped Series electric guitar range selects the best parts of the Frankenstrat to offer you the authentic EVH experience that many guitarists and manufacturers have tried to imitate.
