Description

The EVH Striped Series Frankenstein Frankie in Aged Black with Yellow Stripes is a 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 red-hot Wolfgang humbucker tones, rock-solid Floyd Rose performance and that iconic black/yellow striped aesthetic in a road-worn satin finish. It’s even got a handy EVH D-Tuna for those times you wanna chug in drop D! Classic “Frankie” look, aged to perfection This limited edition guitar captures the black and yellow incarnation of Eddie’s legendary Frankenstrat, complete with aged satin lacquer and distressed black hardware for an authentic, been-on-tour vibe. The custom Frankie pickguard, dummy five-way blade and skirted volume knob labelled “tone” all nod to the OG guitar’s hot-rodded, DIY aesthetic. Fast & comfy EVH neck The graphite-reinforced quartersawn Maple neck with a modified “C” backshape is built for stability and speed. An oiled finish feels smooth and broken-in from day one, while the 12 to 16-inch compound radius fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets keeps chords comfortable at the lower end and bends choke-free higher up the neck. It’s practically invites fast runs, wide vibrato and expressive phrasing. Wolfgang power, simple 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 & instant drop D An EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo and R3 locking nut provide 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’re performing big divebombs, subtle vibrato or tuning down for heavier riffs, the hardware is designed to stay precise and dependable.Key Features Aged black & yellow “Frankie” finish: The limited paint job and distressed hardware recreate one of Eddie’s most recognisable guitars, giving you a visually striking instrument that looks like it’s already lived a life on the road! EVH Wolfgang bridge pickup: The direct-mount humbucker dishes out tight, aggressive rock tones with enhanced sustain and resonance from being screwed straight into the body. EVH-branded Floyd Rose with D-Tuna: The locking trem, R3 nut and brass block keep your tuning locked in during heavy trem use, while the D-Tuna allows instant switching to drop D tuning so you can expand your riffing options without swapping guitars. Quartersawn Maple neck with compound radius fingerboard: The graphite-reinforced neck, oiled finish and 12 to 16-inch compound radius Maple fingerboard combine stability, comfort and speed, making demanding EVH-style techniques feel natural and controlled.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitar

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use. Use the narrower guitar categories and feature tags to compare instruments with similar designs rather than relying on appearance alone.
