With his visionary hands-on approach to personally modifying his style and tone, Eddie has created some of the most memorable guitars in rock 'n' roll history.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of those guitars became as iconic to Van Halen's sound as tapping was to Eddie's playing. Aptly named the \"Shark,\" Eddie took his angular offset axe and sawed a chunk out of the body, leaving jagged edges in the wood that resembled teeth. After applying a coat of silver paint, Eddie added tape in his famed striped pattern and then grabbed a rattle can of burgundy Schwinn bicycle paint to finish the job. The final striped creation was initially seen live during the first Van Halen World Tour in 1978, but became more widely known and adored by fans after appearing on the back cover of Van Halen’s 1980 album, Women and Children First.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter years of receiving requests for this famed instrument, EVH is proud to release the new Striped Series Shark model. This high-performance axe features an angular ash body that is paired with a rock-solid set maple neck, carved to a comfortable modified \"C\" profile. The neck also features a \"hockey stick\" headstock and the same striped paint job on the back, while the fast-playing 12\"-16\" compound radius Pau Ferro fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and white dot inlays.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Shark is also fitted with custom designed EVH Wolfgang alnico 2 Humbucker bridge and neck pickups, delivering the ideal amount of power and articulation with sweet sustain and thick chunky rhythms in a perfectly balanced EQ curve. Adding to the unique style of this instrument, the bridge pickup features parchment bobbins with metal braid wire, while the neck pickup features black bobbins with metal braid wire. A low-friction volume knob with treble bleed provides for unmatched performance and even-volume tapering for the smoothest volume swells, while a chrome-plated solid-brass harmonica bridge provides massive attack, presence and sustain.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn addition to its instantly recognizable Burgundy with Silver Stripes paint job, the Shark boasts other eye-catching features including black numbered speed knobs, three-way toggle switch housed on a brass mounting plate, brass nut, gold and chrome custom EVH-stamped Gotoh tuners and chrome eye hooks with turnbuckles.\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBody: Ash\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Satin Urethane\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Shark\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBody Material: Ash\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeadstock: EVH® Hockey Stick\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin Color Matched\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: EVH® Modified \"C\" Backshape\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Construction: Set-Neck with Graphite Reinforcement\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness: .790\" at 3rd Fret \u0026amp; .810\" at 12th Fret\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\"-16\" Compound Radius (304.8 mm to 406.4 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Pau Ferro\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePosition Inlays: White Dot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 22\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Nut: Truss Rod Adjustment at Nut\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eString Nut: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.6875\" (42.86 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNut Material: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFret Size: Ju  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBridge: EVH® Chrome-Plated Solid-Brass Harmonica\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBridge Mounting: Secured\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePickup Covers: Parchment on Bridge, Black on Neck\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eControl Knobs: Numbered Black Speed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwitch Tip: Parchment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Chrome\/Gold\/Aluminum\/Brass\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: EVH®-Branded Custom Gotoh® SG381 (Chrome \u0026amp; Gold)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrings: Nickel Plated Steel (.009-.042 Gauges)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrap Buttons: Oversized\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: EVH® Wolfgang® Shark Humbucking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: EVH® Wolfgang® Shark Humbucking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: HH\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eControls: Volume (500K EVH® Bourns® Low Friction Pot) with Treble Bleed Circuit, Tone (250K EVH® Bourns® High Friction Pot)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwitching: 3-Position Toggle: Position 1.
