Seymour Duncan is now introducing awesome new looks to the Custom Shop Frankenstein™ Pickups inspired by the iconic striped designs of Eddie Van Halen’s early instruments. The Seymour Duncan Custom Shop now offers four new striking versions: Red, Black & White; Grey & Black; Black & White; and Bumble Bee.
Seymour Duncan and Eddie Van Halen share a collaboration stretching back to the late 1970s. After years of tone exploration together, in early 2000’s the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop meticulously reproduced the pickup in Eddie‘s iconic Frankenstein guitar, then developed two additional variations representing distinct eras of Eddie’s tone progression.
All three were approved by Eddie himself and have been available for years in a range of options through the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop as the Frankenstein pickup collection.
