5150 Guitar

Van Halen 5150 Guitar 

John Denner Van Halen Guitar

Fender Guitars along with EVH Gear proudly introduce a new Striped Series 5150 model based on the original Kramer Guitar first introduced back in 1984.  The New Van Halen 5150 guitar features Eddie’s distinctively striped 5150 motif and single humbucker setup.
The Striped Series 5150 has a basswood body identical to the original, with a bolt-on quartersawn maple neck featuring a comfortable hand-rubbed back finish and the a killer “hockey stick” headstock. The fast-playing compound-radius  fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets, black dot inlays and a convenient heel-mounted truss rod adjustment wheel.

The 5150 guitar  is also fitted with a custom designed EVH Wolfgang alnico 2 Humbucker bridge pickup, delivering the perfect amount of power and and sustain for 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 those signature Van Halen volume swells. 


Decked out with a rock solid “dive bomb” certified EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge, each locking nut tailpiece features fine tuners and a patented Eddie Van Halen D-Tuna for switching back and forth from drop-D to standard tuning in seconds.
