The EVH Striped Series 5150 is a high-performance electric guitar inspired by Eddie Van Halen's famous red, white and black striped instrument from 1984. This ax delivers a growling tone and extreme playability thanks to premium components hand-selected to Eddie's exacting standards. The basswood body provides a solid base for the bolt-on quartersawn maple neck and 12"-16" compound-radius maple fingerboard, allowing fast playing across all 22 jumbo frets.

Custom Humbucker Growls with Aggressive Mids

The 5150 is fitted with a custom designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucker bridge pickup, delivering punchy lows, crisp highs and hot-rodded mids with truckloads of crunch and singing sustain. A custom low-friction volume knob provides unmatched performance and tapered volume swells.

Dive-Bomb-Ready Floyd Rose Bridge

Decked out with an EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge, each tailpiece features fine tuners and a patented EVH D-Tuna for instant drop-D tuning. Experience extreme tremolo techniques with confidence in this rock-solid system.

Iconic Striped Esthetic

With its quintessential red 5150 hologram numbers, star decals and striped finish, the 5150 is a high-powered, high-performance machine that's as sweet to look at as it is to play. This throwback model is a fitting tribute to the pivotal instrument that shaped the sound of '80s hard rock and influenced generations of guitarists.

Premium Components from Top to Bottom

From the chrome hardware and EVH-branded tuners to the .009-.042 gauge strings, no detail has been overlooked in crafting this shred-ready machine.
