on the cover of van halens 1978 eponymous debut album, eddie van halen thrusts his black-and-white striped strat-style guitar towards the camera as if hes showing you the future. 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. back 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 couldnt buy one. thats 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.

the all-new evh striped series 78 eruption guitar combines many of those famed mods along with modernized features and a relic treatment. the stratocaster-style body sports eddies 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.

a 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. other 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.
