EVH '78 is a banger!!!
My dream Strat. At an absolutely amazing price! Adorama is the shit!!!!
The perfect heartbreak
This guitar was my holy grail. Finally was able to order one through Adorama. Received the guitar and it played and sounded awesome. At first there was a bit of fret sprout but once it acclimated it wasn't as pronounced?. However, it was noticed that on the bridge one of the adjustment screws was actually cross threaded a bit. Could I have turned a blind eye to it and it be fine ? I suppose but my OCD got the best of me and I returned it to what I thought was an exchange ?.. only to find out ...

Why settle for the ordinary when you can own a piece of rock history The EVH Striped Series '78 Eruption Electric Guitar, with its distinctive white and black striped relic finish, is more than just a musical instrument - it's a symbol of a revolution in guitar-driven rock and roll. This stylish and unique guitar is a tribute to the legendary Eddie Van Halen, who crafted the original instrument himself to realize his full potential as a musician and an innovator.
The '78 Eruption guitar is a perfect blend of Eddie's innovative modifications and modern features. The Stratocaster-style body, adorned with Eddie's iconic black and white stripes, is paired with a quartersawn maple neck, hand-rubbed with a satin urethane back finish for a smooth, comfortable grip. The 12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard, equipped with 22 jumbo frets, is designed for fast, furious playing styles and maximum comfort.
This high-quality guitar features a single EVH Wolfgang humbucking bridge pickup, providing the classic Eddie Van Halen guitar tone - crystal clear cleans, fat and rich mids, and robust lows. The brass nut and six-saddle vintage Fender Stratocaster synchronized tremolo bridge with a 43mm brass block contribute to the authentic EVH tone.
Other unique features include a skirted white Strat-style volume control knob (labeled "tone") with a 500K EVH Bourns low friction pot and treble bleed circuit, a black pickguard, chrome hardware, oversized strap buttons, and a larger, '70s-style licensed Fender Strat headstock with a gold EVH logo. The bolt-on quartersawn maple neck construction ensures bright tone with more control, while the reliced EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickup cuts through the mix, providing dynamic harmonics and shimmering highs.
The EVH Striped Series '78 Eruption Electric Guitar is not just a durable and innovative musical instrument, it's a tribute to a legend, a piece of rock history that stands out in any collection. Whether you're a professional musician or an enthusiastic beginner, this guitar will inspire you to push your boundaries and explore new musical horizons.
