Description
The EVH Striped Series SHAPES guitar is where iconic design meets uncompromising performance — a bold statement instrument rooted in the legacy of the world's most recognizable striped graphics and built for the player who refuses to blend in. Anchored by a resonant mahogany body, the SHAPES delivers a non-apologetic massive TONE that’s a tip of hat to the original that Eddie played on the 1981 Fair Warning Tour and was one in the pair of guitars used in DROP D, Tuning.
Every detail of the SHAPES is engineered for the player first. The graphite-reinforced quartersawn maple neck features Eddie's signature EVH® Modified "C" Backshape, paired with a fast-playing 12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets — designed to feel effortless from open chords to high-register leads. The direct-mount EVH® Wolfgang® humbucking bridge pickup delivers the focused, harmonically rich output that has driven some of the most iconic tones in rock history, while EVH®-branded Gotoh® tuners keep you locked in with precision and reliability.
The EVH Floyd Rose® 1000 Series double-locking tremolo gives you the freedom to push your playing to the extreme — dive bombs, flutter, or subtle vibrato — all while staying perfectly in tune. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a touring professional, the EVH Striped Series SHAPES is a no-compromise instrument that transcends genres, turns heads, and plays like a dream from the first note.
The EVH Striped Series SHAPES is as visually striking as it is sonically powerful. Finished in an eye-catching SHAPES painted graphic, this guitar wears its personality boldly — a true extension of the artist who plays it. More than just a guitar, the SHAPES is a piece of living art that carries the spirit of Eddie Van Halen's fearless creativity into the hands of the next generation of players. EVH Striped Series gig bag, included!
