In 1984, Eddie Van Halen introduced the world to his now famous red, white and black striped 5150 "Frankenstrat" guitar, completely oblivious to the fact that it would go on to inspire literally thousands of copies worldwide. It isn't the only guitar in his ensemble to have been copied of course, but it's arguably the most recognisable. With that in mind, EVH Gear have decided to introduce the world to their new Striped Series 5150 model, based on the original instrument.
Identical to the original!
Featuring the famous striped motif, single humbucker setup and "hockey stick" headstock, the fabulous Striped Series 5150 is also constructed from a lightweight basswood body, a bolt-on quartersawn maple neck (with a comfortable modified "C" profile) and a hand-rubbed back finish. Complete with a fast-profile 12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets, this guitar is a dream for any budding Van Halen wannabe.
The Electronics
The single fitted, custom designed EVH Wolfgang alnico 2 Humbucker bridge pickup might look a little lonely, but don't be fooled: this powerful, custom-designed pickup delivers a whopping punch, combining the perfect levels of output and clarity with all the sustain you could wish for. The custom designed EVH-branded low-friction volume knob gives you the option of producing the smoothest of volume swells with an unmatched performance and even-volume tapering.
Ready for an Eruption!
The EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge and Floyd Rose R3 locking nut combine perfectly to add the finishing touches to this excellent guitar. Working in tandem to increase your sustain posibilities and help you retain accurate tuning, you can feel free to dive bomb to your hearts content with this guitar without having to stop every few songs to re-tune, regardless of how agressive you get with the whammy. Additionally, the bridge comes (as standard) with the now-famous EVH D-Tuna switch, giving you the option of instant drop-D tuning at the flick of a switch, without having to mess around with unlocking the nut or putting the guitar out of tune.
The finishing touch is, of course, the quintessential red 5150 hologram numbers & star decals, helping this high-powered, high-performance machine stand out from the crowd and making it as awesome to look at as it is to play!
Whether you're a long-time fan of Eddie Van Halen, or you're just looking for a new axe with a fun and unique looking finish that you can shred on to your heart's content, then this guitar might well be for you. Call in to one of our 15 stores nationwide or contact us directly for more details.
