You can take this baby home today!



Eddie Van Halen and Fender have joined forces to bring you EVH® brand guitars, amps and musical products, beginning with a most eagerly awaited musical event: the unveiling of a 300-instrument limited edition run of the Eddie Van Halen Frankenstein™ replica guitar.

This red, black and white ash-body guitar has been put through an astounding aging process to replicate the original down to every last scratch, ding and cigarette burn. Fender craftsmen even scoured the land for 1971 quarters—just like the original Eddie at one time stuck under the original tremolo bridge—to mount near the Floyd Rose® Original tremolo bridge. The guitar features a Seymour Duncan® Custom Shop EVH® humbucking pickup, a single master volume knob (that says “Tone”) mounted on a partial black pickguard identical to the original. Leaving no stone unturned, the guitar is complete with a non-functional three-way switch and single-coil pickup that occupy two of the three pickup routs.

It’s a phenomenally crafted piece of rock history—of guitar history, period—and it could only come from Eddie Van Halen and the talented resources of Fender. It simply must be seen, heard and felt to be believed, and it will re-evoke the awestruck wonder and sheer thrill you experienced the first time you saw, heard and felt the incredible musical power of Eddie Van Halen.

Accurate appointments include:

   * Ash body is aged and worn exactly where Eddie's is
   * Unfinished maple neck with wear and burns
   * Truck reflectors cracked just like on Eddie's guitar
   * Schaller tuners even reveal where the original tuners were first mounted
   * Locking Floyd Rose Original tremolo with 1971 quarter underneath
   * Partial pickguard with single volume knob labeled Tone
   * Single Seymour Duncan Custom Shop EVH humbucking pickup
   * Non-functional switch and single coil pickup in upper pickup routs
   * Pick holder made of masking tape
   * Striping patterns are identical to Eddie's guitar
   * Strap hooks just like Eddie's
   * Irregularly chiseled lower pickup rout to accomodate the string spacing of the humbucking pickup

The Eddie Van Halen Frankenstein guitar comes in a rock-solid cosmetically aged Anvil flight case with a combination lock and bearing the famous Van Halen logo. In addition to the guitar, the case contains:

   * A signed 8x10 photo of Eddie Van Halen
   * A certificate signed by Eddie
   * A note from Eddie about the guitar
   * A special "making of" DVD
   * Van Halen/EVH guitar picks

I wonder how much the original would go for if it was listed on Ebay as a no reserve auction? THAT would be cool to see.

Heres an even BIGGER waste of money!
