EVH Limited Edition Striped Series Frankenstein Frankie Black w/Yellow Stripes #EVH2500661

The EVH Limited Edition Striped Series Frankenstein Frankie Black with Yellow Stripes (Model #5107900528) is a bold tribute to one of the most iconic stage guitars in rock history, delivering the unmistakable attitude and performance-driven design synonymous with Eddie Van Halen’s legendary creations. Finished in a menacing Black with Yellow Stripes motif and sealed in satin lacquer, this limited-edition Striped Series model captures the raw, rebellious spirit of the original “Frankie” while offering modern precision and reliability for today’s players.

Built with a basswood Stratocaster®-style body, the guitar offers balanced resonance with focused midrange punch—perfect for high-gain rock tones and articulate lead work. The right-hand orientation and six-string configuration maintain traditional familiarity, while the black hardware and custom black Frankie pickguard reinforce its stripped-down, purpose-built aesthetic. Every visual detail speaks to performance over flash, staying true to the Frankenstein legacy.

At the heart of its tone is a direct-mount EVH® Wolfgang® humbucking bridge pickup, delivering powerful output, tight low end, and singing sustain. In classic Frankie fashion, the neck position features a dummy Strat® pickup for authentic visual accuracy. The clever push/push switching system toggles between bridge (down) and neck (up), maintaining simplicity while offering tonal flexibility. The HSS configuration keeps the visual authenticity intact while focusing on the bridge humbucker’s explosive voice. Strung with EVH® Nickel Plated Steel strings in .009–.042 gauges, the instrument feels slinky, fast, and primed for expressive bends and dive-bombs.

The quartersawn maple neck is engineered for speed and stability, reinforced with graphite rods and attached via a classic 4-bolt plate. Carved to the EVH® Modified “C” backshape, it measures approximately .790" at the 3rd fret and .825" at the 12th fret—ideal for fluid rhythm work and blazing solos. The oiled neck finish provides a smooth, natural feel, while the 25.5" (648 mm) scale length ensures crisp articulation and snap. A 12"–16" compound-radius maple fingerboard (304.8 mm to 406.4 mm) with 22 jumbo frets allows for comfortable chording near the nut and effortless bends higher up the neck. Black dot inlays maintain the understated aesthetic, and a Floyd Rose® R3 locking nut (1.6875" / 42.86 mm) works in tandem with the Floyd Rose® retainer bar for uncompromising tuning stability.

Performance hardware defines this instrument’s capability. The EVH®-branded Floyd Rose® locking tremolo, paired with a brass block and Floyd Rose® 1000 Series locking tremolo arm, enables extreme vibrato effects while maintaining rock-solid pitch. The inclusion of the EVH® D-Tuna® allows instant drop-D tuning changes on the fly, a hallmark feature for versatile stage work. EVH®-branded Gotoh® tuning machines, oversized strap buttons, and black hardware complete the rugged, tour-ready build. A heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel makes neck tweaks fast and convenient without removing the neck.

The licensed Fender® Stratocaster® headstock preserves the classic silhouette, tying the entire design back to its roots while maintaining EVH’s signature modifications. Included with the guitar are a tremolo arm, hex keys, user manual, and an EVH® Striped Series gig bag (P/N 022-7742-100), with an optional EVH® Striped hardshell case available separately.

Aggressive in appearance and uncompromising in performance, the EVH Limited Edition Striped Series Frankenstein Frankie Black with Yellow Stripes is more than a visual statement—it’s a precision-built rock machine designed for players who demand speed, stability, and unmistakable stage presence.
