| Product Name: | EVH Striped Series '78 Eruption Electric Guitar, White with Black Stripes Relic |
| Product Description: | About EVH Striped '78 Eruption On the cover of Van Halen's 1978 eponymous debut album, Eddie Van Halen thrusts his black-and-white striped Strat-style guitar towards the camera as if he's 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 couldn't buy one. That's 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 Eddie's 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 Stratoca |

The only problem is Fender overpriced these. They're well made, a version of a MiM Charvel. If you want a striped guitar, it's a good deal. Bigger picture, the EVH line is probably at a bit of a crossroads. It might affect demand and pricing. Charvel is a better choice for finishes and configs for a lot of players.
I think adorama get a lot of B stock. I had to return three bumble bees from them last year because the body was cracked under the trem. The fourth one didn't have any body damage but the Floyd looked a little bent by the top plate that holds the fine tuners. I didn't mind because I'm gonna put an original Floyd on it. Fret work is pretty good on these for the price. You might need to shim the neck to really dial in the action. The neck pockets aren't great
You could be right. Adorama sent a recent deal on a Wolfgang Special with a wiring issue on the bridge pickup. They took it right back.
Then again guitars come in soooo many cool designs it's hard to pick.
