Open Box EVH Striped Series Frankie Electric Guitar Level 1 Red with Black and White Stripes Relic

EVH has meticulously crafted a faithful tribute to Eddie Van Halen's legendary Frankenstrat. The Striped Series Frankie was designed to Eddie's exacting standards, from its iconic red, black and white striped finish to its raw, snarling tone. This solidbody electric guitar is a shredder's dream come true, with a fast-playing fingerboard and Floyd Rose tremolo for dive bombs and squeals. The Striped Series Frankie is now available, ready to electrify audiences and turn you into a rock god.

Iconic Tribute to a Rock Legend

With its relic'd red, black and white striped finish, dummy neck pickup and angled bridge humbucker, the Striped Series Frankie looks like it was plucked straight from Eddie's hands in the early '80s. Details like the "TONE" volume knob, mismatched pickguard holes and five-way blade selector jammed in the middle position have been painstakingly recreated to capture Frankenstrat's rebellious spirit. This is a guitar that demands to be played loud and proud.

Built for Speed and Expression

The Striped Series Frankie's quartersawn maple neck and 12"–16" compound radius fingerboard were designed for shredding at breakneck speeds. Jumbo frets and an oiled neck back allow for silky smooth bends and rapid-fire legato runs. A sturdy Floyd Rose tremolo lets you dive bomb and squeal on command, while the D-Tuna quickly switches between standard and drop D tunings. Express yourself without limits on this guitar.

Raw, Snarling Tone

At the heart of the Striped Series Frankie's tone is the direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbucker, wound to Eddie's exacting specifications. This pickup unleashes Eddie's signature lead tone, with stinging highs, snarling mids and thick lows. Run through a single volume control, this guitar provides instant access to that unmistakable brown sound that ruled the '80s. The lightweight basswood body resonates freely, amplifying your playing with clear, balanced tone.
