Overview
The Striped Series guitars put Eddie Van Halen's historic and authentic style in your hands in the form of high-powered, high-performance machines that are as kickass to look at as they are to play.
Built for the southpaw, the Striped Series LH R/B/W guitar features a basswood Stratocaster-style body decked out in Eddie's famed red with black and white striped graphics.
Its bolt-on quartersawn maple neck is sturdy and robust with a scarf joint and graphite-reinforcement rods to fortify it against the extremes of nature, buttressing it against warping, while a hand-rubbed urethane finish makes for a fluid and high-speed playing feel. Hosting 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays, the speed 12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard is curved for smooth chord playing near the nut, flattening out for fast and furious leads without fear of fretting out during bends.
A single ferocious direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbucking bridge pickup is well-balanced and able to deliver balls-out overdrive and sustain without sacrificing the ability to clean up magnificently and articulate the cleanest passages when the volume is rolled down.
Boasting iconic style, the Striped Series LH is ready to roar.
- single black volume control knob (labeled "tone")
- EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo with EVH D- Tuna
- Bar string retainer and Floyd Rose locking nut
- EVH die- cast tuners
- Vintage-style strap buttons
- Chrome hardware

"Great sounding guitar..."
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I really like this guitar and my favorite out of my collection of 10 guitars. The only caveat is it didnt ship with a hard case. I mean c'mon seriously for 1,100 Eddie couldn't throw in a custom hard case instead it being shipped In a cardboard box. It's not like he's broke or something. Do for the fans Eddie lol. Otherwise it's an awesome sounding guitar and it feels good in the hands.
