This is an EVH Van Halen Striped Series Frankenstein "Frankie" Red/White/Black Stripes Relic, manufactured in 2020. The red and black stripes are a familiar trademark of Eddie Van Halen. Wolfgang pickups are direct-mounted to a basswood body. Although it has only one volume control, just like Eddie Van Halen himself, a knob labeled “Tone” has been intentionally installed. Combining the EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge with the EVH D-Tuna allows for instant switching to drop D tuning. We also recommend this guitar for its user-friendly features, such as the compound radius fretboard (12 inches to 16 inches), where the radius gradually flattens toward the higher frets, and the wheel nut, which allows for easy truss rod adjustment. The guitar has been pre-aged, so it’s difficult to discern any new scratches or dents, but there are no noticeable scratches or dents on the neck.
