Incredible Recreation
Ash has been used for the body of the EVH Bumblebee with its naturally light weight making it easy to wield this incredible axe.
Bolt-on construction adds punch to the upper midrange while attaching the Birdseye Maple neck. This neck has a unique '79 Bumblebee shape and an oiled finish for slick and speedy playability.
Atop the gorgeous neck is a matching Birdseye Maple fretboard offering a fantastic playing surface with the unique grain of the wood being shown in all its glory.
The 12" radius of this striking fingerboard is ideal for deep bends and the kind of extreme performance you'd expect from Eddie Van Halen.
Period-Correct Hardware
Continuing the commitment to authenticity, the EVH '79 Bumblebee guitar features period-correct hardware throughout.
Fitted to the body of the EVH Bumblebee is a prototype non-fine tuner locking tremolo bridge which enhances sustain while providing precise intonation.
Of course, it allows you to perform with all the deep dive-bombing action and extreme whammy bar performance you hear from Eddie himself.
Working with this bridge to ensure incredible tuning stability and premium performance is a prototype locking nut.
Up on the headstock, along with Eddie Van Halen's signature, you'll find period-correct Schaller tuning machines providing incredibly precise and secure tuning of your strings.
Even the strap buttons are the same eye-screw hooks as seen on Eddie's original Bumblebee guitar.
The stylish chrome hardware and brass string retainer, along with the vibrant black and yellow striped paint job, have all been reliced, giving the EVH '79 Bumblebee an authentically aged appearance.
EVH '79 Bumblebee Humbucker
Of course, to really get the Eddie Van Halen sound you need the right pickups.
In this case, that's a single humbucker that has been painstakingly designed to give you the exact tone heard on the original Bumblebee electric guitar.
Giving you easy and immediate control over your sound is a Stratocaster-style skirt control knob for volume, although it's labelled "TONE" to match with Eddie Van Halen's own Bumblebee seen on the back of Van Halen II.
