Product Information


Early '80s Van Halen heaven—down to the last detail.

Eddie Van Halen and Fender have joined forces to bring you EVH® brand guitars, amps and musical products, beginning with a most eagerly awaited musical event: the unveiling of a 300-instrument limited edition run of the Eddie Van Halen Frankenstein™replica guitar.


This red, black and white ash-body guitar has been put through an astounding aging process to replicate
the original down to every last scratch, ding and cigarette burn. Fender craftsmen even scoured the land for 1971 quarters--just like the original Eddie at one time stuck under the original tremolo bridge--to mount near the Floyd Rose® Original tremolo bridge. The guitar features a Seymour Duncan® Custom Shop EVH® humbucking pickup, a single master volume knob (that says "Tone") mounted on a partial black pickguard identical to the original. Leaving no stone unturned, the guitar is complete with a non-functional three-way switch and single-coil pickup that occupy two of the three pickup routs.


It's a phenomenally crafted piece of rock history--of guitar history, period--and it could only come from Eddie Van Halen and the talented resources of Fender. It simply must be seen, heard and felt to be believed, and it will re-evoke the awestruck wonder and sheer thrill you experienced the first time you saw, heard and felt the incredible musical power of Eddie Van Halen.

Crazy. $25,000.00!

This is a bit brisk price wise for a relic. I am sure Fender made is as perfect as it could be made by human hands. But if you are after a guitar which is the tonal equivalent of Eddie Van Halen, you will need to buy a pair of Eddie's hands because that is what created the tone. There are several other $2000ish guitars out ther which can kick this one's butt (Ibanez Evo replica - Steve Vai Signature, or Ibanez Joe Satriani signature just name two). Buy one of them if you are a player, Buy this one if you are a collector with way more money than brains. This thing should be sold at $5000 and no more. Where is Eddie's autograph??

LIKE HOLDING THE HOLY GRAIL

I played this thing for an hour and it was just staggering to me to hold it in my hands. Everything I did from hp's to harmonics was amazing to see how it responded. I haven't played VH stuff in a while but how could you not? I sat there in the middle of the store and didn't care if I was a dork or not because it brought back my teenage years and worth my humility. Besides VH music still rocks. To my surprises a bunch of dudes surrounded me and we started passing it back and forth riffing VH. It was a blast. This guitar represented something mystical to me as a kid. It was an emotional trip and what was even cooler is that the guitar kicked serious ass! Perfect replica. Felt like it was Eddie's that I was holding. Unbelievable detail. I couldn't help but to just stare at this magnificent work. Like holding the Holy Grail at the sake of being corny. Who cares, it made my day! Man if I had silly money to throw around I'd buy 3, one for each room of my house. But seriously it's a down payment on a house, a new car, plastic surgery for my wife (when she gets older). I'm so tempted because of what it represents to me, but shelling out that much dough right now is not practical. Do I want it?Yes! I want it but I can't have it! Not yet, bummer man. I was say a big THANK YOU to Eddie Van Halen for letting guys like us get a taste of something that held such mystic for so many of us until today. I met Eddie when I was 16 and he was so laid back and cool. I'm now 41 and this made me feel like 16 again. Even though I'm not going to buy one just yet, a big thank you to Fender and the artist who did the replica and of course Eddie VH. Peace.

The Truth

Okay- let's get this straight- you don't buy this guitar to play it, you buy it to say you have it and to honor a rock legend. Maybe it's a bit overpriced, but this guitar is an EXACT replica. This is not some cheap knock-off. If you have the money, and you love Van Halen, buy it! Put it in a glass case and stare at it, 'cause that's what it was made for. Don't leave bad reviews just because you can't afford it.

unbelievable

this guitar beats me in what specific words to use describing this instrument eddie knew what he was doing when he decided to make replicas of this guitar and i can hear and feel why he called it his baby. sure it comes at a hefty price but you'll find out much time and patience was taken to make the guitar you'll understand why it's worth it's price.
