Solidbody Electric Guitar with Basswood Body, Maple Neck, Ebony Fingerboard, Floyd Rose Tremolo, and 1 Humbucking Pickup – Stealth Black

And The Star Will Rock …

A modern reinterpretation of Eddie Van Halen’s iconic Charvel parts guitar from the late 1970s, the Star Limited is primed to unleash ripping riffs, lightspeed leads, and roaring rhythms with signature EVH attitude. This guitar’s basswood “Star” body is host to a spartan setup of a lone volume knob, a single direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickup, and a push-button kill switch — a formula combining Eddie’s later 6-string affinities with the setup of his original modded-out Charvel. Next, an EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo allows you to squeal and dive-bomb with reckless abandon, while the D-Tuna makes it a breeze to quickly swap between standard and Drop D tuning. One of the EVH Star Limited’s most eye-catching features is surely the maple neck’s bottle headstock shape — a tip of the hat to the department-store guitar neck that Eddie mated to his beloved Charvel. Finally, it wouldn’t be an EVH instrument without seriously hot-rodded performance — this guitar’s ebony fingerboard, 12- to 16-inch compound radius, and Speed Neck profile complete the EVH Star Limited with slick playability that’s sure to please even the most stringent of technically minded guitarists.

Inspired by Eddie’s iconic hybrid Charvel hybrid

Eddie Van Halen was no stranger to 6-string modifications. After all, just about every instrument he used in Van Halen’s heyday was ceaselessly adjusted and tinkered with until it fit his exacting requirements. One of his most idiosyncratic creations in the late 1970s, the “Star” guitar was built with a Charvel body and a neck from an old department-store guitar. Eddie would use this instrument extensively on Van Halen’s World Invasion tour to support Women and Children First, sealing its status as an integral instrument to EVH lore. That being said, EVH fanatics can’t help but appreciate how the Star Limited’s ebony-topped maple neck is a fully modernized remake of the original, complete with a 12–16-inch compound radius for smooth chords and riffs down low, in addition to buzz-out-free bends in the upper register.

One pickup is all you need

From his legendary Frankenstrat to the Charvel that inspired this EVH Star Limited, Eddie Van Halen is one of rock music’s most persuasive arguments that a single-pickup-instrument is more than enough to get the job done. This guitar boasts a single direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbucker pickup in the bridge position, loaded with Alnico II magnets for a clear, cutting, and incredibly dynamic tone. From screaming sweeps to expressive solos to full-throttle rhythms, this pickup is purpose-built for loud and unapologetic rock. Aside from the single pickup, the EVH Star Limited sports a pared-back, performance-minded setup of a single volume knob and a push-button kill switch for stuttering staccato effects.

Journey to dive-bomb heaven

Everyone knows you can’t go full-blown EVH without a rock-solid tremolo. That’s why the Star Limited includes a top-mount EVH-branded Floyd Rose tremolo. Thanks to this double-locking trem, you can dive-bomb, shriek, squeak, and otherwise abuse your whammy bar without sacrificing tuning stability. The Star Limited also features EVH’s patented D-Tuna, enabling you to switch instantly from Drop D to standard tuning.
