David Lee Roth On The Frankenstein Guitar Design & Eddie Van Halen’s Business Ingenuity

by Eric Senich — updated December 5, 2021 Leave a Comment

David Lee Roth, in his own inimitable way, has taken fans down Van Halen memory lane. This story includes a plain white guitar, some tape, some paint and a whole lot of Eddie Van Halen ingenuity!

In the video above titled “Separated At Birth?”, Dave explains the history of Eddie’s iconic red, white and black striped guitar along with a photo of a DLR painting. You may recognize the pattern of Dave’s work, which is why he decided to tell the story of the EVH Frankenstein guitar – from its inception right through to its eventual place in pop culture history. We’ll let him tell the story since nobody can tell it better than The Diamond One!
