- In this video we take a close up look at the EVH Bumblebee guitar by EVH gear. This guitar certainly is a gorgeous piece of gear, and it looks even better in person than on screen. The gloss paint job and fit and finish are perfect. And when you hear the sound demo you will see how wonderful this guitar sounds. No, it is not a super versatile guitar, but it does what it does very well and is probably in the best of it's class or among the best in class for the tone and playability. Eddie Van Halen sure knew what he was doing when he designed these guitars. Try one out and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed! It comes equipped with an EVH D-Tuna, 22 frets, Wolfgang hum bucker, maple neck and a basswood body. EVH tuners as well as an EVH branded Floyd Rose tremolo. This is a great guitar, and this bumblebee has a real sting. Thanks for watching the video. Please subscribe!

My favorite version of EVH’s striped patterns.
The one he buried with Dime. An original for an original. Beautiful!
This is one of the best demo of an EVH guitar 🎸 I have ever watched! Great sound, great review and a good guitar player. Amazing job 💯
You rock Marty! Love your VH content, the lessons and guitars! You really inspire me to learn and play some VH!!!
That fact you played part of Loss of Control…subscribed! This is the one tune that if anyone ever tries to deny DLR’s talent, good luck! The Halen boys wrote that action and looked at Dave and said….hey hotshot! do something with this! Dave looked at Tempelton and said hold my beer…lol. Greatest Rock Band Ever! In my humble opinion.
Hey Marty you need to get that guitar. I have watched many of your videos and that guitar is the best sounding . Your settings with amp were so good. You need to gig that exact set up. People will go crazy watching you play.
Yeah the low friction pots are killer super smooth... They are made by Bourns(R) Pro Audio who is the EVH manufacture.. A little savings when purchasing 💸💸💸🤑💰 my wife & I would come & see you at your Gig but we are Maryland on the DelMarVa Eastern Shore.. Awesome Playing... Cheers 🎸🎵🎶🎼 🥃🥃
Always enjoy your vids. Thanks! Hey...please correct me if I am wrong. I thought the Frankinstart was Paint...not lacquer. Schwinn paint if I am not mistaken. Thanks
I read somewhere on the EVH site the Frankie they produce has a thin coat of lacquer. I do believe Eddie just painted his with spray paint.
Marty, your tone is outrageously good as well as your technique. Thanks for all the informative videos and please keep them coming.
The Bumblebee is a very close 2nd to the original black and white for me. I want one. Great demo
Thank you!
I’m pretty sure the frets are regular nickel, not stainless. But so what! Your channel is just great Marty - it’s a super enjoyable way to spend a few minutes. Thanks for the excellent content.
You're probably right. I know fender started avoiding stainless a while back. Cost savings I assume??? (For them)
I Was Thinkin The Same Thing
That was an awesome walk on memory lane. Hope to watch a video on how you come up with that nearly brown sound
Very cool. My favorite out of the striped series for sure. Sounded killer Marty. Thx.
You're very welcome! 😎🤟🏻
Lovely guitar! I wouldn’t mind an EVH guitar in any of their iterations. But I think that will remain a dream. Fortunately, I have a locking trem bolt and Dtuna to put on my Kramer Baretta Vintage, so close enough.
What signal flow was that? Ace-FX? Sounded mega! I absolutely love the Frankenstein pickup. Works so well across all the EVH lineup. GREAT rock/heavy pickup.
Yes, would love to know the signal chain details to get that awesome sound
I’d love one of these guitars. Black and yellow look great together. Sounds awesome too.
Awesome playing Marty!! Eddie would be proud!😊
Mean street and Girl gone bad a couple of my favorite Van Halen songs when it comes to looks you can't beat that baby and it sounds rippin 👍🤘👑🔥
Awesome mean and snarling tone. Perfect. Great video
Great playing! Thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these bad boys. Great tone! Mr. Marty, what's the secret sauce? Please do tell lol. Fractal, Kemper, or just a cranked Marshall?
Thanks man? Fractal Ax8 Friedman BE patch. Friedman ML Labs IR's.
Reverb and delay added later pro tools. 😎
Awesome guitar and playing! Unfortunately, no EVH-series guitar will ever look right to me with these truss-rod adjustment locations. The neck looks totally wrong in that case. I am not sure why they went that route but it looks like it's here to stay.
Hell yeah man! EVH Gear is the best! Obviously I am biased....but seriously for the price I really believe Eddie made sure the quality was there in that he could pick up any piece from any store and play it at a show.
Sounding good as usual Marty, and you've got the EVH tone down! 👍
I got mine when they were $899. After Eddie died the prices went up. I also have the "Circles /See Ya" (aka The Unchained guitar) and that has been discontinued and prices for those on eBay and Reverb are $2,000 - $3,000. How is that Satriani guitar that's sitting behind you?
So many riffs love watching your channel Marty 👊👊😎
My favorite of all Eddys guitars. Gorgeous! I tried this in 1983. Fail.
I like all the Eddie stuf you play all together short, perfect ☝️😁
Glad you're back 🤘
Thanxxxx Marty for the vids....thanxx for keeping the tone alive
EVH4EVER👍🎸❤️🖤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Beautiful I have a 2012model and a 2019 charvel
Excellent video, I enjoyed this. I have one of these guitars. The Wolfgang pickup is great. I seem to get pinch harmonics easier than my Kramer with a Seymour Duncan JB in it. I'd like to hear the difference in the Wolfgang vs the Frankenstein pickup. Rock on Marty
Now I want this one instead of the Wolfgang! Great playing Marty! I see the Batmobile still in the corner behind ya😂😂🎸🎸🎸
Sweet playing brother!!
Thanks bro! 😎🍺
Cavities on mine were messy with rough routing. The problem I had was the neck needed to be shimmed. Using the trem was pulling the studs out of the body. The strings were almost touching the pickup. Raising the bridge fixed these issues but made the action way too high. The shim was what it needed. Not cool though for $1149! Oh, by the way, you sir are a monster player!
Dude that stinks about your guitar man!! I hope that's abnormal for the production. Thanks for the compliment man! 😎🍺
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker When Eddie passed, these sold out. They came back at a higher price point and I feel they were rushing production. The neck is really nice and the paint is beyond impressive. I feel they let me down on the assembly. I feel there was pressure to get them finished and out the door. It’s great now that I fixed it.
@@WickedFesterBand yeh QC during Covid years dipped for sure with manufacturers. Demand kinda spawned that I think.
@@WickedFesterBand I returned mine with similar issues. My tech tried to float the bridge, which upsets the D-Tuna and action. I agree lovely neck, but didn't want to shim a brand new guitar either. I bought an Ibanez RG J Custom instead (it's incredible). I also found an EVH Shark at a pawn shop for $1400 AUD. I wanted to hate it, but it played and felt so good...I had to have it 😂
@@simonp9471 I shimmed mine then put a small maple block in the trem cavity to make it down only. Lot of work but it's good now. Shouldn't need that at that price point though.
Amazing, incredible, fantastic!!! 🤟
Thanks a lot!
Wow that sounds amazing!
Thanks! It's a great guitar!
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker this is the Wolfgang pup, right?
I managed to get the Charvel version years ago for a good price. Have the red white and black EVH version. Fun guitars.
I wish this was my dad...Marty rocks! my dad is obsessed with his lawn and on the few occasions that he does wear pants, they are pulled up to his armpits! boy that God has a sense of humor
That was bad ass. This is my next guitar. Wonder how different from my Wolfgang it will be.👍
Hey Marty Awesome Playing An Sound You Using The Axe8 If You Are I Definitely Want One Of Them Thanks Rock On Bro
Thank you for all lessons! You re great. Please made judment day
Nice 🤘🤘 sounds great, awesome playing, it looks like it plays itself? They are great guitar's in my opinion
I got mine from Sam Ash and love it so much!!
again love that sound
I bought one that had the Seymour Duncan 78' in it. I like it with the lower output pickup (its around 9K) but the Franky pickup sounds great. Feel like I need to throw it in there and try it now.
Great playin Marty! I love my striped series but somehow it dont sound like that!
Also, besides the used market and Sam Ash I notice that Sweetwater and Pro Audio Star run nice deals on these and other EVH products all the time.
Whoa , a maple syrup neck too ,,,,with the curse of the Black Pearl Dot In LAYS , 👶🎤🙏
Lol
Sounds killer Marty!
Is it worth the price/bought it. YES is the answer
What happened to trying out the drop D part?
I have a drop D unchained lesson coming Saturday morning 730am central. 😎🎵🤟🏻
Sounds great!
Ed had always said that he "hassled" with his black and yellow, but he never went into detail what exactly that meant, or why. Any ideas?
Sounds great!!!
YES! I finally got some "Loss of Control" out of Marty! ( I'm happy now... ) 😁👍
Good ears my friend
Marty's neighbors leaning forward, sliding backwards ....their feet losing grip on the floor as they push against the sound pressure while trying to walk into their dining room for dinner.
Awesome Jam
Fire. That thing rips.
The strats should have the R3 nut instead of the Wolfgang R2, at least mine do. I put a Strat neck on my WG standard with a little sanding in the neck pocket. Then put FU-Tone Titanium bolts and saddle string lock blocks and the big brass block with the Floyd Rose trem arm upgrade to take out the slop.
I have the red white black striped Strat.
What are you playing through? Sound exact!
Thanks! Fractal AX8 for TH-cam
🫵😉👍 Not But Sweetness! Marty 🐝
What are you playing through?
Fractal AX8. Friedman BE patch with ML labs Friedman IRs.
Delay and verb added in pro tools. In post.
Stainless steel frets?
This man kicks ass!,,,,,,,,,😮😮😮
Very nice! 😊 if wishes were fish's, what a great fisherman I'd be!😅 Thanks Marty 😊
I could almost swear that the EVH Striped Series were selling for around $699 when the were first introduced....the price has essentially doubled. You could buy an LTD M1 Custom for the same amount of money that has a Seymour Duncan TB-6 in the bridge, and a real Floyd Rose on it for only $1,200.
Floyd Rose 1000
Hey I wish I could get my Stratocaster and put all that good stuff on there❤
Nice guitar, big like 40 !!!
The neck is a little wide though, right? I played one in Paris years ago and bought a red/white one. I sold it cuz the neck was too wide. The one I played in Paris didn't feel wide. I should have bought that one, but I would've had to buy a ticket for it. Lol
I don't think so man, the neck on mine seems amazing. It actually felt easier and faster to play on compared to the EVH 5150 Striped Series guitar. This neck feels a bit slimmer than my 84 Kramer too. Maybe you just tried an off made guitar neck. 🤷🏻♂️🎸
Smoking !
Reic'd cavities !!
🔥☠️🔥☠️🔥☠️🔥☠️🔥☠️🔥☠️🔥
Honestly, you could build one from parts for 1/3 of the EVH...
I have it but, if I cranked up like that, my wife might leave. I just told her I’d run her out of the house. Lmao. #EVH
Definitely doesn’t come with stainless frets…you trippin’ broski😎
Is Dave LEE 👖👖👖👖chicken broth gonna sing 🥣🥫
Can't get used to that truss rod gap , looks terrible
I looked on a website and hey wanna pay $80,000 for a guitar.........
Me go to swap meats when me little ,, that not meet,,T shirt 👶🎤🙏
I own one of these and its horrible the pickup is almost touching the strings and you cant adjust it and the action is high and can be barely adjusted..Your paying 4 the paint job and its way overpriced...
You did not hit the bozo clown whammy bar 80 times in demo , 👶🎤🙏🙁
The stripped series are great guitars but the reliced Frankie is a pile of shit. Evh is definitely screwing everyone over on the relic.
Awesome Playing!!!
Did the original have the knob with TONE on it or VOLUME like Frankie.
And your setup would be...?
I run a fractal ax8 and a Freidman BE patch with Friedman IRs. I add delay and verb in pro tools in post. 🎸🎵
