Having just received this guitar from MusiX, after a 9 month wait, I have to say it was worth the wait. WIth current logistic Problems, I was told it would not be here until perhaps January 2022, so technically, it was early delivery. Musix did Keep me in touch and informed, and their service was excellent.
The Instrument itself was purchased more as a 'nice to have' as opposed to one intended for stage work or, to be fair much use at all. It was more as a curiosity than anything. Whilst this is not the full limited Edition replica, which at around $25K is somewhat unobtainable, it looked a suitable purchase to get a feel of the mind set of EVH.
However, upon receipt it has quickly become apparent that this is a really nicely made Instrument, that plays extremely well, sounds exceptional, and to be honest is just great fun. So, whilst tone, range, playability, technical specs etc could all be covered in depth, I choose not to. Simply put, if you get the chance, certainly buy this guitar to play and have fun with as that, I suspect, is what EVH did!

Description
Widely regarded as the most recognizable electric guitar ever, Eddie Van Halen’s iconic and revered Frankenstein™ guitar now comes your way with a price tag the everyday musician can afford in the form of the EVH® Striped Series Frankie.
Sporting Eddie’s famed red with white-and-black-striped paint job and a worn-in reliced look, the all-new Frankie features a basswood Stratocaster®-style body paired to a graphite-reinforced quartersawn maple neck. An oiled finish on the back of the neck allows for hours of playing comfort, while the 12”-16” compound radius maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets was designed for fast and furious playing styles.
Routed for an HSS pickup configuration just like Eddie’s original, Frankie features an EVH Wolfgang® humbucking bridge pickup with a dummy Strat® neck pickup and a dummy five-way blade housed in the middle position.
A sturdy and dependable EVH-branded Floyd Rose® locking trem and Floyd Rose locking nut work in tandem for precise tuning even with extreme changes in pitch, while the EVH D-Tuna® retunes to drop-D and back with strict accuracy at the flick of a finger.
Other unique features include a white skirted Strat-style single volume control knob (labeled “tone”), custom black pickguard, reliced chrome hardware, standard strap buttons and EVH neck plate.
