Eddie Van Halen RELIC Stratocaster Frankenstrat SET EVH Strat Custom

Inspired by Mr. Van Halen´s 1982 “Frankenstrat” guitar. RELIC / AGED SET – Humbucker bridge and Strat sized neck. Vintage correct PAF style pickup in the bridge position: – black BUTYRATE bobbins with 49,2mm spacing. The pickup has to be installed at a slight angle to compensate for the differing string spacings of the Fender tremolo and the Gibson humbucker(49,2mm). – AWG42 PLAIN ENAMEL WIRE ( HOT / overwound – 8,5kOhm @ 20°C) – LONG LEGS on the nickel silver base plate. These long legs are too long for your regular strat – you need deeper bridge pickup cavity to install this pickup. Total height of this pickup with LONG LEGS is approx. 27mm. If you want SHORT LEGS and/or F-SPACED bridge pickup send us a message and we will work it out. Each pickup is built to order. Eddies`s humbucker bridge pickup was mounted directly to the wood/body of the guitar. To install this pickup to the wood you will have to re-drill the mounting holes on the baseplate so they can accept wood screws. We can do that for you – you can leave a note at the checkout page or send us a message. – rough cast AlNiCo 2 magnet bar – maple spacer – machined humbucker bar – Nickel plated slugs and screws – vintage style braided output wire Eddie installed a red single-coil pickup in the neck position, but it wasn’t connected to the circuit. Stratocaster sized neck pickup: – 13kOhm DC resistance @20°C – hand wound Elektrisola AWG 43 gauge wire – red vulcanized fiber bobbin flatwork with brass eyelets – Alnico 5 polepieces – cloth covered push-back wire, wax potted(paraffin and bee`s wax). – the coil is protected with black cloth pickup tape. Scatter wound, fully charged magnets.
