Description
The Frankenstein Custom Humbucker is designed to provide the punch, power, harmonics, and dynamics that fueled some of the most exciting and memorable guitar riffs of all time. As unique as Eddie, the Frankenstein Custom Humbucker is perfect for rhythm, lead, and everything in between.
There are good tones, there are great tones, and then there are tones that change the world forever. Edward Van Halen’s sound is the latter …and it got there instantaneously, with the first chord of his first record 40 years ago. That sound—with its punch, dimension, aggression, and detail defined an era, launched a tsunami of imitators, and inspired a generation. Now you can get your hands on a pickup that can deliver those VH tones, with all the harmonics, complexity, and power associated with his iconic guitar parts. Massive power chords and soaring single-note lines are all at your fingertips. And because of its incredible clarity and depth, the Frankenstein Custom Humbucker is also perfect for those VH style riffs that combine chords, melody, and technical nuance all at once, maintaining definition and speaking with a loud, clear voice. Another hallmark of Eddie’s style is his brilliant use of dynamics. Whether by altering his attack or rolling down his volume knob, the Frankenstein Custom Humbucker is supremely responsive, making it easy to seamlessly morph from clean to dirty, for a range of tones few humbuckers can match. This is a pickup packed with inspiration.
