EVH Frankenstein Relic Series Electric Guitar Vintage Sunburst

The EVH Frankenstein Relic Series electric guitar is a proper homage to Eddie Van Halens legendary, massively modded monster. Each element has been recreated to deliver the tone, feel and unmistakable vibe that makes the original such an icon, and it highlights the D.I.Y. attitude and penchant for experimentation responsible for bringing the Frankenstrat into existence. The EVH Frankenstein Relic Series is specd to blow you away, taking your tone on a journey to one of the finest high-gain rock sounds ever conjured.

Relicd Finish Straight From the Eruption Era

The EVH Frankensteins authentically relicd finish is an undeniable head-turner. Masterfully aged and distressed, it replicates many of the nicks, scratches and hard-earned battle scars found on Eddies cherished original. Every worn-in body contour transports you back to the game-changing Eruption era, with dings and dents regaling the story of a road warriors companion. Lurking beneath the relicing is a solid basswood body that absolutely growls. Chords have a meaty, defined presence, while melodic leads leap forward with an aggressive snarl. When you need your guitar to command attention, the EVH Frankenstein Relic Series delivers.

Eddies Signature Brown Sound

Frankensteins vociferous voice is brought to life with a direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbucker. Seated at an angle in the bridge position adjacent to a nonoperational single-coil neck pickup, this unique layout mirrors Eddie Van Halens personal modifications. Sonically, the P.A.F.-style Wolfgang transducer captures every nuance of his trademark brown sound, precisely modeled after the pickup he installed in the Frankenstrat. Harmonically complex and delightfully unchained, its the ideal partner for high-gain amps and tasty pinched harmonics. Every riff and lead line explodes with Eddies unmistakable revving and purring tone.

Shred-Ready Neck With Aged Feel

Tone is only half of Frankies one-of-a-kind magic. Just like its inspiration, the EVH Frankensteins quartersawn maple neck is on fire, designed to let you light up the sky with eruptive shredding. Its svelte profile and semi-flat 12″16″ compound radius make stretching across the fingerboard feel effortless. Jumbo frets enhance grip for intense bending, and the relicd maple fingerboard has just the right amount of grit to feel like a broken-in workhorse.

Floyd Rose for All-Out Whammy Histrionics

Held fast by an EVH-branded Floyd Rose tremolo system, the Frankenstein lets you dive bomb with reckless abandon, just like Eddie. The integrated D-Tuna gives you quick access to drop-D tuning for low-end chug and ultrasatisfying, one-finger power chords. Whether youre unleashing squealing harmonics or hammering out insane tapping runs, this guitars double-locking bridge and nut offer the rock-solid tuning stability to keep up with your wildest whammy and fingerboard acrobatics.

With its uncompromising authenticity and lightning-quick playability, the EVH Frankenstein Relic Series electric channels the revolutionary spirit of Eddie Van Halen. Considered one of the foremost Superstrats, Frankenstein established a precedent for what demanding players now come to expect from high-performance guitarsand this replica captures much of Frankies intangible mojo.
