| Product Information | For the first time, an official, by-the-numbers, Eddie Van Halen approved replica has been made of the guitar that Eddie played at the height of his band's popularity. There is no doubt that Frankenstein, as it is known, is one of the most recognizable guitars in rock 'n' roll history. Luthier Chip Ellis has recreated every stripe, every fret, every screw hole.Not only are the ash body, maple bolt-on neck, and Schaller tuning machines exact in their materials and specifications, but the electronic wiring, unique as it is, has been replicated with almost frightening precision. Seymour Duncan gave the pickups, both functioning and cosmetic, the same treatment Eddie gave them, right down to the wax dipping! You won't get any closer to Eddie's famous "brown" sound with any other guitar. Eddie went so far as to say that this replica feels and sounds even better than the original.Have you seen Junior's grades? Chip Ellis admits that he may have gotten into this more than anyone should. Made
