There are very few guitars out there that are as famous as Eddie Van Halen’s favorite 6-string sidekick, lovingly known as Frankenstein. It’s the guitar most associated with Eddie Van Halen through his career and is one of the most iconic electric guitars in modern history.
Today, EVH launched the Frankenstein Series, a civilian variant of Eddie Van Halen’s iconic red, black, and white Frankenstrat guitar — complete with a worn-in relic’d finish. The Frankenstrat guitar was Eddie’s attempt to combine the sound of a classic single-cut solid body guitar with the physical attributes and tremolo bar functionality of a Fender Stratocaster.
