However, since he had limited knowledge of hardwiring electronics he could not use this pickup. This new guitar initially sported a Charvel style headstock as well which was later changed.Ĭharvel played a part in the Frankenstrat Mark II as the company was no longer on good terms with Eddie Van Halen.Īdditionally, Ed whacked into the Frankenstrat one Mighty Mite single coil pickup in the neck position, initially in an attempt to use it on the guitar.

He went back to the drawing board inside his mind and instead realised that although the other guitars were brilliant in their own way, he needed a new one that could become potentially better than the others. He always seeks out the best possible option for his sound. The original Frankenstrat was continually becoming copied everywhere and Bumblebee sounded unsatisfactory to Eddie’s continual search for the perfect sound and tone for the guitar.įor Eddie Van Halen, good enough is never good enough. After going through the original Frankenstrat and the VH2 “Bumblebee” guitar, Eddie became a little unsatisfied with both original guitars.
