General

Eddie Van Halen liked to modify guitars and give them a truly unique sound, look and feel. In fact, EHH has created some of the most iconic guitars in rock history, including the Shark. The original model was made in 1978 and is mainly known for its appearance on the cover of Van Halen's 1980 album, 'Women and Children First'. Now, you can get your hands on your own Shark. Part of the Striped Series, this attractively-priced guitar has a burgundy finish with silver stripes.

The Striped Series Shark: Serious Bite

The EVH Striped Shark boasts an authentic design and first-rate specs. The bridge and nut are both made of brass which adds warmth to the foundation sound, the machine heads have been supplied by renowned brand Gotoh and, interestingly, three of them are chrome plated, while the other three are gold plated. A pair of EVH Wolfgang Shark humbuckers have been mounted to deliver thick rock-ready sound alongside lengthy sustain, and to boot, you get a low-friction volume potentiometer that makes it extremely easy to inject tasty volume swells.
