This Charvel EVH Art Series model #268, was used on stage by Edward Van Halen in Reno, Nevada on April 17, 2008. The EVH Art Series was introduced following the end of Edward Van Halen’s contract with Peavey in 2004. These limited series, high end models were intended to be sold at auction, and a specific set was built for use within concerts in the 2007 / 2008 tours.
EVH
Instantly recognizable, the EVH Red Stripe draws from the guitar the late Eddie Van Halen used on his breakthrough recordings and performances. The original instrument was constructed from an unfinished body and neck set by Boogie Bodies, and added a used Fender Stratocaster trem and Gibson humbucker – plus the highly distinctive paint scheme that was immediately copied by many players.

Coming from the Charvel custom shop, the Charvel EVH Art Series models featured reproductions in three colour variations of Van Halen’s original taped-graphic finish. The bodies are basswood paired with a quartersawn maple neck, a Floyd Rose locking trem set with D-Tuna, Schaller tuners, a Wolfgang pickup and one volume control (with a ‘Tone’ knob).
