He played this guitar on his unprecedented and mind-blowing “Eruption” guitar solo, thus its nickname, and almost immediately, this monumental instrument became a timeless icon, symbolic of a paradigm shift in guitar-driven rock and roll.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack when this trailblazing album first appeared, nobody had ever seen or heard a guitar like that because no such guitar ever existed. What was this? You couldn’t buy one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat’s because he made it himself. The 22-year-old Eddie Van Halen had the mind of not only a great musician, but also of an innovative inventor—a constant tinkerer who was always messing with his gear. Eddie would say it was out of necessity as no off-the-shelf guitar had the features he needed to really do his job and realize his full potential. So, he took matters into his own capable hands — refretting the neck, installing a humbucking pickup which he potted in paraffin wax, as well a single master volume knob (famously labeled as “Tone”), brass nut and tailpiece from a ’58 Strat, cutting out and mounting his own homemade black and of course, coming up with iconic striped motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-new EVH® Striped Series ’78 Eruption guitar combines many of those famed mods along with modernized features and a relic treatment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Stratocaster®-style body sports Eddie’s famed white-and-black-striped paint job and has been paired to a quartersawn maple neck with a hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish. The 12”-16” compound radius maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets was designed for fast and furious playing styles with maximum comfort, while a heel-mount truss rod wheel makes for time-saving neck adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single EVH Wolfgang® humbucking bridge pickup provides classic Eddie Van Halen guitar tone – from crystal cleans to fat and rich mids and lows, while the brass nut and six-saddle vintage Fender® Stratocaster synchronized tremolo bridge with a 43mm brass block allow for authentic EVH tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther features include a skirted white Strat-style volume control knob (labeled “tone”) with 500K EVH Bourns® low friction pot and treble bleed circuit, black pickguard, chrome hardware, oversized strap buttons, EVH neck plate and larger, ‘70s-style licensed Fender Strat headstock with gold EVH logo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel #\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 5107900576\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specs \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSERIES: \u003c\/b\u003e Striped Series\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eORIENTATION: \u003c\/b\u003e Right-Hand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOLOR: \u003c\/b\u003e White with Black Stripes Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOUNTRY OF ORIGIN: \u003c\/b\u003e MX\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNeck\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHEADSTOCK: \u003c\/b\u003e Large '70s-Style Licensed Fender® Strat®\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK MATERIAL: \u003c\/b\u003e Quartersawn Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK FINISH: \u003c\/b\u003e Hand-Rubbed Satin Urethane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK SHAPE: \u003c\/b\u003e EVH® Modified \"C\" Backshape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK CONSTRUCTION: \u003c\/b\u003e Bolt-On with Graphite Reinforcement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK THICKNESS: \u003c\/b\u003e .790\" at 3rd Fret \u0026amp;
