It’s Aliiiiive! The Frankenstrat is here again to dominate stages once again. This guitar is based off of Eddie Van Halen’s cherished “Frankenstein”, and it even has been relic’d to emulate the legendary guitar. This guitar has been reborn to shred! Key Features Signature Tremolo Action - Intentionally positioned against the body, the dive-bomb-only D-Tuna-equipped Floyd Rose lets you mimic Eddie's signature trem work with ease, along with giving you instant access to Drop D tuning. Grave Danger – Play lightning fast with the modified “C” shape neck which is perfectly shaped to shred! Floyd Rose – The Floyd Rose system locks your string at both ends, giving you exceptional tuning stability so you can shred for longer, and strike fear into the hearts of men with the serious tremolo action. Built from a solid chunk of basswood, this solid-body electric guitar growls with the best of them, while exhibiting rock-solid midrange tone that can cut through a manic rhythm section with ease. A direct-mount Wolfgang humbucker nails Eddie's classic tone, especially when you use it to push a high gain amp. What is the Story Behind Frankie? There are very few guitars out there that are as famous as Eddie Van Halen's favorite 6-string sidekick, lovingly known as ""Frankenstein."" This guitar was Eddie's attempt to combine the sound of a classic single-cut solid body guitar with the physical attributes and tremolo bar functionality of a Fender Stratocaster.
