The Kramer 5150 is an Electric Guitar used by Eddie Van Halen.
The Kramer 5150 guitar was developed through Eddie Van Halen’s partnership with Kramer Guitars in the early 1980s. Built in Kramer’s New Jersey factory, the 5150 features a unique poplar body with a striking red, black, and white striped finish, and is loosely based on the Kramer Pacer model. It incorporates a top route for the pickup and rear routing for electronics, equipped with an original Floyd Rose FRT-100 bridge for dynamic pitch effects. The standard hockey stick neck, made of maple, is paired with a maple fingerboard adorned with black dot inlays, while the minimalist control setup includes a single volume knob without a pickup selector. The guitar utilizes a Seymour Duncan SH-11 Custom Custom pickup, complemented by Gotoh tuners and a Switchcraft mono jack.
