About EVH Striped Series Shark

Enhance your musical performance with the Striped Series Shark Electric Guitar, a legendary instrument that embodies the innovative spirit of rock 'n' roll icon Eddie Van Halen. This guitar, known as the "Shark," is a testament to Eddie's hands-on approach to personalizing his instruments, resulting in some of the most iconic guitars in rock history.

The Shark's unique design was born from Eddie's creative vision, where he transformed an angular offset axe by sawing a chunk out of the body, creating jagged edges that resemble teeth. This distinctive design was then accentuated with a silver paint base, overlaid with Eddie's famed striped pattern, and finished with a coat of burgundy Schwinn bicycle paint. This striking instrument first made its appearance during the Van Halen World Tour in 1978 and gained widespread recognition after featuring on the back cover of Van Halen's 1980 album, Women and Children First.

The Striped Series Shark model is a high-performance instrument, boasting an angular ash body paired with a robust set maple neck, carved into a comfortable modified "C" profile. The neck also showcases a "hockey stick" headstock and the signature striped paint job on the back. The fast-playing 12-16" compound radius Pau Ferro fingerboard is equipped with 22 jumbo frets and white dot inlays, ensuring a smooth and effortless playing experience.

The Shark is fitted with custom-designed EVH Wolfgang alnico 2 Humbucker bridge and neck pickups, delivering the perfect balance of power and articulation. These pickups offer sweet sustain and thick chunky rhythms, resulting in a perfectly balanced EQ curve. The bridge pickup features parchment bobbins with metal braid wire, while the neck pickup showcases black bobbins with metal braid wire, adding to the guitar's unique aesthetic.

The Shark's distinctive Burgundy with Silver Stripes paint job is complemented by other eye-catching features such as black numbered speed knobs, a three-way toggle switch housed on a brass mounting plate, a brass nut, gold and chrome custom EVH-stamped Gotoh tuners, and chrome eye hooks with turnbuckles. The chrome-plated solid-brass harmonica bridge provides massive attack, presence, and sustain, while a low-friction volume knob with treble bleed ensures unmatched performance and smooth volume swells.

The Striped Series Shark Electric Guitar is not just an instrument; it's a piece of rock 'n' roll history, designed to deliver a superior musical experience. Whether you're a seasoned musician or an aspiring rock star, this guitar will undoubtedly elevate your performance to new heights.
