EDDIE VAN HALEN “UNCHAINS” LONG AWAITED STRIPE SERIES “CIRCLES” GUITAR
EVH is proud to announce the release of one of the most requested guitars Eddie Van Halen has played over the years, the EVH Stripe Series “Circles” guitar made famous by Van Halen’s 1981 Unchained music video.
With an otherworldly black-and-white “circles” graphic gloss finish, the EVH Circles model is without question one of the most distinctively eye-catching guitars in the Stripe Series lineup. There’s nothing alien about the rest of this high performance tone machine, though, with its sleek Strat®-like basswood body, rock-solid quartersawn maple neck with oiled finish, fast and smooth compound-radius maple fingerboard (12”-16”) with comfortably rolled edges and 22 jumbo frets, a single ferocious EVH direct-mount pickup with single black plastic control knob (master volume), EVH Floyd Rose® with D-Tuna® bridge and locking nut, and EVH tuners.

Best guitar player ever…”Van Halen”….amazing album, great tunes to workout to…..Joe in The Cuse
Man, that fret board looks smooth, nice!
Another collectors item for the rich, you can hang it on your wall, next to your Gene Simmons axe bass and Paul Stanley “smashed” guitar. Useless trophy.
You do realize that these list for about $1199, which makes them about $799 street, just like the other models, right?
You’re right. We should buy collector’s items from unknown poor guys.
I disagree, Pete. If it has the features you’re looking for in a guitar and the price is right, then it would make perfectly logical purchase for someone. In my recent quest to learn how to play guitar, I just purchased a “signature” model by another maker. I really don’t care whose name is on it – it just checks all the boxes on the feature list and plays and sounds awesome. The guitarist who endorses it is really good, but he’s not on my top 10 list by any means. He just knows how to spec out a great guitar. 🙂 One of my friends liked it so much he bought one too.
Edward Van Halen, “Eruption”, guitar solo of the 70’s, and beyond! 🙂
