EVH 'Circles' Mini Guitar

By popular demand, the official miniature replica of Eddie Van Halen’s 'Circles' guitar! Known to fans as the 'Circles' guitar (and sometimes as the 'Unchained' guitar), Eddie debuted this guitar to the world on the 1981 tour cycle for the FAIR WARNING album. Ever the experimentalist, this guitar and its counterpart, the 'Shapes' guitar, varied from his previous builds in the composition of the woods used in the construction and body thickness. Also new was the implementation of the newly developed locking tremolo system, which was still in its infancy in the electric guitar's evolution. Eddie would be the pioneer and universal ambassador of the locking tremolo system, now a de facto commonplace in guitar design. The guitar also represented a return to the use of white with black in its graphic design and a turn-the-corner evolution away from the strict use of line graphics toward incorporating circles. Eddie played the 'Circles' guitar on stage on his last tour with Van Halen in 2015. Individually handcrafted from solid wood, with metal tuning keys Incredible attention to detail 1:4 scale, 10” in length Includes stand and gift box Each model comes complete with a high-quality miniature adjustable A-frame stand and foil-stamped collector's gift box.
