The Van Halen News Desk have posted news of the latest addition to the EVH Stripe Series guitars, the last new model added was the crop circles guitar which is obviously still based on the superstrat body as per the other striped guitars whereas this guitar is clearly not. Many Van Halen fans probably don’t even associate Eddie with this guitar as it was really early in his career that the guitar was used, according to VHND the Star guitar was first seen during the “1980 Invasion” tour. It isn’t an exact copy of Eddie’s star guitar however, the striping is much more pronounced on this version as if to try and make it fit into the series. Not sure why they didn’t do an exact replica paint job like the other EVH guitars? Also I personally hate the headstock, I know it is the same as Eddie’s original guitar but it just looks terrible.
The EVH Star Guitar features a Basswood body, quartersawn Maple neck with a hand-rubbed urethane finish, a 12”-16” compound radius rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges and 22 jumbo frets, a direct-mount EVH Humbucker with just a master volume control, EVH Floyd Rose® bridge and locking nut and EVH tuners.
