Eddie Van Halen is renowned for giving his legendary guitars their own unique identity. With his visionary approach to personally customising 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 the sound of Van Halen as tapping is to Eddie’s playing. Eddie took his angular offset axe and sawed a piece 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 tin of burgundy Schwinn bicycle paint to finish the job. The final striped creation was first seen live during Van Halen’s first world tour in 1978, but became even more famous and revered by fans after appearing on the back cover of Van Halen’s 1980 album “Women and Children First”.
Following years of requests for this famous instrument, EVH ® is proud to release the new Shark model from the Striped Series. This high-performance axe features an angular ash body paired with a rock-solid maple neck boasting a comfortable modified "C" profile. The neck features a ‘hockey stick’ headstock and the same striped finish on the back, whilst the fast-playing Pau Ferro fingerboard, with a 12"-16" compound radius, features 22 jumbo frets and white dot inlays.
The Shark is also equipped with specially developed EVH Wolfgang ® Alnico 2 humbucker bridge and neck pickups, which, with a perfectly balanced EQ curve, deliver the ideal amount of power and articulation with sweet sustain and thick, chunky rhythms. The bridge pickup features parchment-coloured bobbins with metal-braided wire, whilst the neck pickup has black bobbins with metal-braided wire. A low-friction volume control with treble bleed ensures unrivalled performance and smooth volume adjustment for a gentle build-up of volume, whilst 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 features other eye-catching details such as black, numbered knobs, a three-way toggle switch on a brass mounting plate, a brass saddle, gold and chrome-plated Gotoh ‘®’ tuners with EVH branding, and chrome-plated eyelets with tension locks. Included: EVH Striped Series Shark gig bag!
