Authentic replication of Eddie van Halen's homemade eruption guitar
With the '78 EVH Eruption Relic , Eddie van Halen presents an exact replication down to the smallest detail of the legendary electric guitar with which he recorded the groundbreaking song "Eruption" in 1978. Based on Eddie's homemade Super Strat , the electric guitar has an ash body with an exactly reproduced striped finish, while the screwed neck and fingerboard use birdseye maple. A EVH Frankenstein Humbucker bridge position combined with a EVH Bourns Low friction Potentiometer provides the adequate hot sound. A classic Stratocaster Synchronized Tremolo with brass block from Kluson serves as a bridge, while Schaller die-cast mechanisms on the head plate ensure precise tuning. Last but not least, the '78 EVH eruption Relic comes with a certificate and great Case candies in an exactly reproduced G&G case.

Manufactured to the exact specifications of the legendary Original pickup, the pickup has a DC resistance of 14.4 kOhm and delivers a hot sound image with sharply focused attack and high assertiveness that supports tapping solos as well as driving riff work. For volume control over the pickup, a EVH Bourns Low Friction Potentiometer is also available in the hand-cut Pickguard version, whose low torsional resistance enables particularly smooth volume swells.
Six classic Schaller tuners on the headstock of the EVH eruption Relic ensure precise and stable tuning.
