The Frankenstein (Frankenstrat)

"The white bodied guitar with black strips is iconic from the early Van Halen days. Eddie built this guitar in 1974 with the aim of making a guitar that had the playability of a Fender but the tone of Gibson. He loved the Fender style guitar shapes and the tremolo unit, but preferred the sound of the humbucker equipped Gibsons.

He purchased a guitar body from a company called Boogie Bodies, who also provided bodies for Charvel, along with a plain neck for $130. He painted the body black, added strips of tape around it and then sprayed over it white. He them removed the tape, leaving a white guitar with black stripes. The tremolo was from a 1958 Fender Stratocaster and the humbucker was a Gibson PAF from an ES-335 that he wax-potted with surfboard wax to prevent feedback."
