EVH Frankenstein Relic Series, Maple Fingerboard, Black Overview

Experience the embodiment of rock legend Eddie Van Halen’s trailblazing guitar playing with the EVH Frankenstein Relic Series. Celebrating the birth of the superstrat era, this series mirrors the distinctive “battle-scarred” look of Eddie’s iconic Frankenstrat. Each guitar in this collection pays homage to the daring inventiveness of a virtuoso who transformed the electric guitar.

Draped in a raw and rugged finish, each EVH Frankenstein Relic is cut from a solid basswood body, nurturing growling mids that power through even the busiest of rhythm sections. At the core of its biting tone lies the direct-mount Wolfgang humbucker, engineered to capture the rich essence of Eddie’s classic sound. The dummy neck single-coil oozes the endearing DIY aesthetic that made the original Frankenstrat so iconic.

Whether you’re driving a Marshall amp to its peak or shaping the backbone of your band’s rhythm, this electric guitar will put the legendary Van Halen tone firmly in your grasp.

Modern Craftsmanship, Classic Vibe

Beyond its edgy exterior, the EVH Frankie Relic Series features a quartersawn maple neck and a swift compound-radius fingerboard, honed for quicksilver licks and intricate solos. Adding to the authenticity of this relic’d series, the neck employs an EVH-modified “C” back shape, a hand-rubbed oiled finish, and a convenient heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel. The neck’s graphite reinforcement ensures stability, while 22 jumbo-sized frets unlock the doors to high-speed playability.

High-Octane Performance

The EVH Frankenstein Relic is an adrenaline-fueled performance powerhouse. Armed with an EVH-branded Floyd Rose tremolo, you can pull off those iconic dive-bombs, shrieks and squeaks without ever having to worry about tuning stability. Thanks to the patented EVH D-Tuna, you can effortlessly switch between Drop D and standard tuning - no Allen keys required.
