EVH Limited Edition Frankenstein Relic Series, Maple Fingerboard, Vintage Sunburst Overview
The EVH Limited Edition Frankenstein Relic is a striking tribute to Eddie Van Halen's iconic Frankenstrat, now reimagined in a Vintage Sunburst finish with a road-worn aesthetic. Built from solid basswood and loaded with a direct-mount Wolfgang humbucker, it delivers searing tone, aggressive mids, and the kind of raw edge that cuts straight through any mix.
A quartersawn maple neck with a compound-radius fingerboard offers a fast, familiar feel, while the Floyd Rose tremolo system with EVH D-Tuna lets you divebomb and drop to D on the fly. Complete with aged hardware and custom Frankenstein details, this guitar doesn’t just look the part - it's built to perform with relentless attitude.

View Full DescriptionIconic Frankenstein styling
This limited edition take on the legendary Frankenstrat captures the spirit of Eddie Van Halen’s most famous creation, with a bold Vintage Sunburst finish and heavy relic treatment that gives it a worn-in, battle-scarred look. Every scratch and scuff is intentional, telling a story and adding character to a guitar built for the stage.
High-gain tone machine
Equipped with a direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbucker in the bridge position, this guitar is designed to deliver the aggressive, harmonically rich tone Eddie made famous. It’s ideal for tight, high-gain rhythm work and cutting lead lines, with dynamic output that responds to every nuance of your playing.
Fast and familiar neck feel
The quartersawn maple neck is carved to an EVH Modified "C" profile and paired with a 12"-16" compound-radius maple fingerboard. It’s built for speed and comfort, with the relic’d lacquer finish offering a broken-in feel that’s immediately playable. From chunky power chords to high-fret runs, it handles it all with ease.
Floyd Rose with EVH D-Tuna
A divebomb-only Floyd Rose locking tremolo system gives you the freedom to unleash wild pitch shifts while staying in tune. With the addition of EVH’s D-Tuna, you can instantly drop to D tuning without missing a beat—perfect for switching styles mid-set and unlocking signature Van Halen sounds.
