Striped Series 5150 Red, Black, and White Stripes When Eddie Van Halen introduced his famous red, white and black striped 5150 guitar in 1984, he never would have fathomed the thousands of copies it would inspire. But alternatively, Eddie has made a career of being copied in each and every which way conceivable. EVH Gear proudly introduces a new Striped Series 5150 model based on his original instrument, featuring his distinctively striped 5150 motif and single humbucker setup. The Striped Series 5150 has a basswood body similar to the original, with a bolt-on quartersawn maple neck featuring a comfortable modified “C” profile, hand-rubbed back finish and “hockey stick” headstock. The fast-playing compound-radius (12-16 in.) maple fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets, black dot inlays and a convenient heel-mounted truss rod adjustment wheel. The 5150 could also be fitted with a custom designed EVH Wolfgang alnico 2 Humbucker bridge pickup, delivering the very best amount of power and articulation with sweet sustain and thick chunky rhythms in a perfectly balanced EQ curve. A custom designed EVH-branded low-friction volume knob provides for unmatched performance and even volume tapering for the smoothest volume swells. Decked out with a rock solid “dive bomb” certified EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge, each and every locking nut tailpiece features fine tuners and a patented EVH DTuna for switching from side to side from drop-D to standard tuning right away. With its quintessential red 5150 hologram numbers and star decals, the Striped Series 5150 is a highpowered, high-performance machine that’s as sweet to take a look at as it is to play.
