Shipping & Return
The EVH Frankenstein Relic Series electric guitar is a proper homage to Eddie Van Halen’s legendary, massively modded monster. Each element has been recreated to deliver the tone, feel and unmistakable vibe that makes the original such an icon, and it highlights the D.I.Y. attitude and penchant for experimentation responsible for bringing the Frankenstrat into existence. The EVH Frankenstein Relic Series is spec’d to blow you away, taking your tone on a journey to one of the finest high-gain rock sounds ever conjured.
Relic’d Finish Straight From the “Eruption” Era
The EVH Frankenstein’s authentically relic’d finish is an undeniable head-turner. Masterfully aged and distressed, it replicates many of the nicks, scratches and hard-earned battle scars found on Eddie’s cherished original. Every worn-in body contour transports you back to the game-changing “Eruption” era, with dings and dents regaling the story of a road warrior’s companion. Lurking beneath the relicing is a solid basswood body that absolutely growls. Chords have a meaty, defined presence, while melodic leads leap forward with an aggressive snarl. When you need your guitar to command attention, the EVH Frankenstein Relic Series delivers.
Eddie’s Signature “Brown Sound”
Frankenstein’s vociferous voice is brought to life with a direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbucker. Seated at an angle in the bridge position adjacent to a nonoperational single-coil neck pickup, this unique layout mirrors Eddie Van Halen’s personal modifications. Sonically, the P.A.F.-style Wolfgang transducer captures every nuance of his trademark “brown sound,” precisely modeled after the pickup he installed in the Frankenstrat. Harmonically complex and delightfully unchained, it’s the ideal partner for high-gain amps and tasty pinched harmonics. Every riff and lead line explodes with Eddie’s unmistakable revving and purring tone.
Shred-Ready Neck With Aged Feel
Tone is only half of Frankie’s one-of-a-kind magic. Just like its inspiration, the EVH Frankenstein’s quartersawn maple neck is on fire, designed to let you light up the sky with eruptive shredding. Its svelte profile and semi-flat 12"–16" compound radius make stretching across the fingerboard feel effortless. Jumbo frets enhance grip for intense bending, and the relic’d maple fingerboard has just the right amount of grit to feel like a broken-in workhorse.
Floyd Rose for All-Out Whammy Histrionics
Held fast by an EVH-branded Floyd Rose tremolo system, the Frankenstein lets you dive bomb with reckless abandon, just like Eddie. The integrated D-Tuna gives you quick access to drop-D tuning for low-end chug and ultrasatisfying, one-finger power chords. Whether you’re unleashing squealing harmonics or hammering out insane tapping runs, this guitar’s double-locking bridge and nut offer the rock-solid tuning stability to keep up with your wildest whammy and fingerboard acrobatics.
With its uncompromising authenticity and lightning-quick playability, the EVH Frankenstein Relic Series electric channels the revolutionary spirit of Eddie Van Halen. Considered one of the foremost Superstrats, Frankenstein established a precedent for what demanding players now come to expect from high-performance guitars—and this replica captures much of Frankie’s intangible mojo.
