It’s alive! The EVH Frankie is here to once again dominate the stage and shred with unstoppable fury. Modeled after Eddie Van Halen’s iconic "Frankenstein" guitar, this relic’d beast embodies the raw power, tone, and playability that defined Eddie’s legendary sound. Designed for speed, aggression, and effortless dive-bomb action, the EVH Frankie is a must-have for any guitarist looking to channel the spirit of one of rock’s greatest innovators.
Built to Shred – A Guitar with History
The Frankenstrat is one of the most famous guitars in rock history, and this version faithfully recreates Eddie’s vision—a combination of single-cut power with Strat-like playability and tremolo-bar madness. The basswood body delivers a tight, punchy tone with a strong midrange that cuts through even the wildest, most chaotic rhythm sections. And thanks to its satin lacquer finish and heavy relic treatment, the EVH Frankie looks and feels like it has been on the road for decades, just like the original.
Signature Tremolo Action – D-Tuna & Dive-Bombs
The Floyd Rose locking tremolo, equipped with EVH’s patented D-Tuna, allows for instant Drop D tuning changes, so you can shift between Eddie’s signature licks and massive low-end riffs in seconds. The bridge is positioned flat against the body, ensuring smooth, stable action for perfect dive-bombs and warbling tremolo effects—just like Eddie himself intended.
Floyd Rose Stability – Shred with Confidence
No matter how hard you attack, the EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo system ensures rock-solid tuning stability. Locking nuts at both ends keep everything tight, stable, and ready for battle, allowing you to bend, squeal, and dive without worrying about tuning issues.
Grave Danger – The Ultimate Neck for Speed
The modified "C" shape maple neck, combined with jumbo frets and a heavy relic lacquer finish, creates an ultra-fast playing surface, allowing for effortless runs, tapping, and bends. Whether you’re tearing through solos or hammering out power chords, this neck stays comfortable and responsive no matter how aggressive your playing gets.
Eddie’s Signature Tone – Wolfgang Humbucker Power
The direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbucker delivers pure high-gain aggression, capturing Eddie’s legendary tone. Designed to push amps into harmonic bliss, this pickup screams with sustain, punch, and articulation—perfect for classic Van Halen tones, molten leads, and chugging rhythm parts.
