Eddie Van Halen is known for giving his legendary guitars their own identity. With his visionary approach to personalising his style and tone, Eddie has created some of the most memorable guitars in rock'n'roll history.One of these guitars has become as iconic to Van Halen's sound as tapping is to Eddie's playing. Eddie took his edged offset axe and sawed a chunk out of the body, leaving jagged edges in the wood that looked like teeth, and aptly named it "Shark". After applying a coat of silver paint, Eddie added tape in his famous striped pattern and then grabbed a can of burgundy Schwinn bicycle paint to finish the job. The final striped creation was first seen live during the first Van Halen world tour in 1978, but became even more famous and adored by fans after appearing on the back cover of Van Halen's 1980 album, Women and Children First.After years of requests for this famous instrument, EVH® is proud to release the new Shark model of the Striped Series. This high performance axe features an angular ash body paired with a rock solid maple neck that features a comfortable modified "C" profile. The neck features a "hockey stick" headstock and the same striped finish on the back, while the fast-playing 12"-16" compound radius Pau Ferro fingerboard features 22 jumbo frets and white dot inlays.The Shark is also equipped with custom EVH Wolfgang® Alnico 2 humbucker bridge and neck pickups that deliver the ideal amount of power and articulation with sweet sustain and thick, chunky rhythms with a perfectly balanced EQ curve. The bridge pickup features parchment-coloured coils with metal braided wire, while the neck pickup has black coils with metal braided wire. A low-friction volume control with treble bleed ensures unrivalled performance and smooth volume adjustment for gentle volume swells, while a chrome-plated solid brass harmonica bridge provides massive attack, presence and sustain.In addition to the distinctive Burgundy with Silver Stripes finish, the Shark has other eye-catching features such as black numbered knobs, a three-way toggle switch on a brass mounting plate, a brass saddle, gold and chrome Gotoh® tuners with EVH stamping and chrome eye hooks with turnbuckles. Included: EVH Striped Series Shark gig bag!
