This is really, the guitar that started it all for Eddie Van Halen. This guitar is crucial to the development of the Van Halen sound, as well as everything that followed in rock music after Ed first blazed the scene in southern California. Everything about the guitar, from the forward thinking vision and construction of the guitar, to the striped paint finish, represented a whole new way of thinking with the guitar itself.
One of the most memorable guitars in rock is the Van Halen I Frankenstrat.
