EVH Striped Series Frankenstein Relic “Frankie"
EVH Striped Series Frankenstein Relic “Frankie"
If you’re ready to shred, why not do it with the best! The EVH Frankenstein “Frankie” puts Eddie Van Halen’s famous weapon-of-choice in your hands—distressed in exact detail—at an affordable price.
It starts with a basswood body finished with Eddie’s well-worn red/black/white-striped paint job. The quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable modified “C” profile, hand-rubbed oiled back finish, and heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel. The 12”-16” compound-radius maple fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets.
Frankie features a single EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking bridge pickup, along with a dummy Strat single-coil in the neck position and prop 5-way blade switch in the middle. The single control is a white skirted volume knob marked “Tone” (Eddie—always a joker).
An EVH-branded top-mount Floyd Rose bridge and locking tailpiece features fine tuners for each string and a patented EVH D-Tuna for switching back and forth from drop-D to standard tuning in an instant.
