EVH Striped Series Frankie Electric Guitar Red/White/Black Relic

The EVH Striped Series Frankie Electric Guitar is presented in an authentic reliced Red finish with White and Black stripes. One of the most legendary artist models out there, Eddie Van Halen’s Frankenstrat guitar grew organically from his needs as a guitarist, rather than through a consultation process with a guitar brand. The result is both highly unique and completely purposeful. This new Frankie model authentically recreates the feel and tone of the original, while coming in at a very attractive price point.

We pride ourselves in our pre-sales check and professional set-up, which we carry out on every instrument we sell here at Merchant City Music.

EVH Striped Series Frankie Electric Guitar - Red/White/Black Relic

Widely regarded as one of the most recognizable electric guitars ever, Eddie Van Halen’s iconic and revered Frankenstrat - or Frankenstein™ - guitar now comes your way with a price tag the everyday musician can afford in the form of the EVH® Striped Series Frankie.

Sporting Eddie’s famed red with white-and-black-striped paint job and a worn-in reliced look, the all-new Frankie features a basswood Stratocaster®-style body paired to a graphite-reinforced quartersawn maple neck. An oiled finish on the back of the neck allows for hours of playing comfort, while the 12”-16” compound radius maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets was designed for fast and furious playing styles.

Routed for an HSS pickup configuration just like Eddie’s original, Frankie features an EVH Wolfgang® humbucking bridge pickup with a dummy Strat® neck pickup and a dummy five-way blade housed in the middle position.

A sturdy and dependable EVH-branded Floyd Rose® locking trem and Floyd Rose locking nut work in tandem for precise tuning even with extreme changes in pitch, while the EVH D-Tuna® retunes to drop-D and back with strict accuracy at the flick of a finger.

Other unique features include a white skirted Strat-style single volume control knob (labeled “tone”), custom black pickguard, reliced chrome hardware, standard strap buttons and EVH neck plate.
