A Pickup Inspired by the Quest for the EVH Sound
Designed in the spirit of Eddie Van Halen, the EVH Frankenstein Plus carries the DNA of the famous "Frankenstein" humbucker, adding a dose of power. The goal is clear: to create a pickup that delivers strong output to the amp while remaining playable and clear in real playing contexts, especially through volume control.
For Which Guitarists and Guitars?
This electric guitar humbucker pickup is aimed at guitarists who want a "hot" output level for riffing and soloing, with a strong presence in the mix. Ideal on a rock-oriented guitar (such as a superstrat or any model equipped with humbuckers), it is also suitable for those who like to control their distortion via the volume pot while maintaining good note articulation.
Power, Dynamics, and Definition at Volume
The Frankenstein Plus is designed to deliver maximum power when you dig in hard, while maintaining good clarity when you roll down the volume. Its Alnico 2 magnet provides a more organic and singing tone, with rich mids and pleasant natural compression, perfect for expressive leads, harmonics, and precise palm-mutes.
