Seymour Duncan Custom Shop EVH Frankenstein Plus - Grey & Black

Seymour Duncan and Eddie Van Halen share a collaboration stretching back to the late 1970s. After years of exploring tone together, the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop meticulously recreated the pickup from Eddie's iconic Frankenstein guitar in the early 2000s, before developing two additional versions representing different stages of his tonal evolution. All three models were approved by Eddie himself and have been available for many years through the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop as the Frankenstein Pickup Collection.

Seymour Duncan is now expanding the range with Custom Shop Frankenstein™ Pickups inspired by the iconic striped finishes of Eddie Van Halen's early guitars.

Four new versions are now available: Red, White & Black; Grey & Black; Black & White; and Bumble Bee.

These finishes are offered across all three Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Frankenstein pickup models. The Frankenstein Custom is a faithful recreation of the pickup fitted to Eddie's legendary Frankenstein guitar from 2006. The Frankenstein Plus is a hot-rodded version of the original, developed and approved by Eddie in 2013, offering higher output with enhanced harmonics and sustain. The Frankenstein Classic, also developed and approved by Eddie in later years, is inspired by the early P.A.F.-style tone that defined the first six Van Halen albums.
