Modeled after Eddie Van Halen’s iconic “Unchained” guitar, the EVH Striped Series Circles electric guitar sends you straight back to Van Halen’s Fair Warning tour, circa 1981. This shred-ready 6-string starts off with a lightweight basswood body, complete with a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo and D-Tuna for shrieking dive-bombs and instant swaps from standard to Drop D. Next, the graphite-reinforced quartersawn maple neck proudly wears an ultra-high-performance compound-radius maple fingerboard to facilitate all manner of 6-string pyrotechnics. A single EVH Wolfgang direct-mount humbucker and a lone master volume finish this guitar off with a no-nonsense edge, mirroring Eddie’s penchant for the speedy simplicity of a single-pickup stunner. Finally, we’d be remiss not to mention this guitar’s glorious 2-part graphic finish — captivating “crop circles” up front and a re-creation of Eddie’s hand-painted “BYE SEE YA LATER” artwork on the back!
