The Striped Van Halen Guitar is Here!

Get that classic EVH look with the EVH Striped Series guitar. This affordable guitar sports a basswood body, a 1-piece maple neck, and a Floyd Rose bridge. The EVH Striped Series gives you that classic look that spans the decades of Van Halen's rock empire. A single, direct-to-body mounted EVH pickup delivers hot and articulated guitar tones that you expect from an EVH guitar. Built to Van Halen's exact specifications, the EVH Striped Series gives you absolutely awesome tone, practical playability and comfort, and the kind of stunning looks you'd expect from a world-class guitar.

A complete and total shred machine

From its basswood body and eye-catching striped finish to its 1-piece maple neck, the EVH Striped Series just screams quality — and that's just the tonewoods! This gorgeous guitar is made for serious playing, with a compound-radius fingerboard (12-16-inch) for chording to shredding comfort, a Floyd Rose locking tremolo system (complete with D-Tuna), and a hard-mounted EVH humbucker. All the components come together to make a guitar that plays like a dream.

The most recognizable EVH guitar finishes

Van Halen's most recognizable instruments are his striped Frankenstein guitars. EVH has reproduced the same look and feel of these early guitars for today's market. These single-pickup Floyd Rose maple fretboard guitars mean business. The striped finish can be seen for miles and is unmistakable. Show your Van Halen pride and pick up an EVH Striped Series guitar today!

Dive-bomb like a pro with a Floyd Rose tremolo

Perform awesome dips, warbles, and dive-bombs on the EVH Wolfgang Special's Floyd Rose tremolo. This is the tremolo that rockers have been drawn to for its accuracy and tuning stability. Designed to his exact specifications and intentionally positioned against the body, the dive-bomb-only D-Tuna-equipped Floyd Rose lets you mimic Eddie's signature trem work with ease, along with giving you instant access to Drop D tuning.

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

Note: While demo items from EVH do not include the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation warranty, you can shop with confidence knowing that this item is backed and covered by Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

EVH Black and yellow

This guitar rocks hard..unfinished neck rules all. Mike D hooked me up and they switched out the pick up with an SD DiMarzio. Now it is exactly like Ed's. I love the Sweetwater staff. Very on it and caring for your order. Mike and Peter are great people at a great company! Getting the next EVH soon!Here is a picture of my two babies.

Love the Bumblebee!

Life long obsession with this guitar and with King Edward VH since I was a teen. Easy choice, but I will need to get the 5150 as well someday.
Unbelievable tone and sound, neck is very natural and smooth and the D-tuna is cool from quick drop D. Yes I did relic it a little but kept the body clean. Swapped to Dimarzio SD, screw eyes. Looks amazing on my wall. Cranks "Somebody get me a Doctor" Love it!. Thanks you to Chris and to Sweetwater for offering this masterpiece. RIPEVH

Will not disappoint. True EVH

My bumblebee arrived two weeks ago. Packaged perfect, 55 point inspection was spot on. Frets were super nice and smooth. Needed to do a few minor tweaks for the set up as you need to with all guitars. Changed out the trem springs for the Floyd noiseless ones. This guitar will not disappoint. The neck is fast and so comfortable. Once you plug in well you just can play for hours on end. So happy with this guitar. Have all three stripes from the series and this one is so special to have added to the collection. Sweetwater is the best

The only other tweaks you could do is add a brass block and a 78 Seymour Duncan pick up which I have on my white striped. But for right now going to enjoy this one as it arrived . Perfect!!!!!!!

Bumblebee

It's cool! I love the way it plays and it looks better in real life! The pickup is good! I might change it someday but will play it for now! It took about an hour and a half to set it up correctly and now it is like butter!
Rated 5/5

Awesome Guitar!

Guitar came set up perfectly. Pictures do not do the finish and paint on the guitar justice. One of the best feeling necks on any guitar I have ever felt. Stays in tune well, and no imperfections.
