Drawing its inspiration from Eddie's early P.A.F. pickup used during the making of the first 6 Van Halen records, this Frankenstein Classic humbucking pickup was developed and approved by Eddie himself in later years. Offering an impressive and articulate dynamic spectrum with exceptional clarity, the Alnico 2 magnet ensures a warm, full bodied and muscular tone. When combined with gain, it delivers the signature attack with perfect highs, aggressive mids, and robust low-end sound incredibly reminiscent of the early Van Halen sound. This pickup offers Eddie’s own perspective on the legendary tone of early Van Halen!
The Frankenstein Classic is proudly made in Santa Barbara, California.
