EVH WOLFGANG USA EDWARD VAN HALEN SIGNATURE - WITH ORIGINAL EVH HARDSHELL CASE

ALL CASE CANDY INCLUDED - GUITAR LOOKS PRACTICALLY UNTOUCHED!

STEALTH BLACK! 

 

EVH brings you the Wolfgang USA Edward Van Halen Signature model, loaded with Eddie Van Halen's most up-to-date specs along with the classic looks and behemoth sound you've come to expect from an instrument bearing his name.

 

The basswood body features a big-leaf maple top and five-ply binding, while the bolt-on quartersawn maple neck is sculpted to Eddie's precise specs, with graphite reinforcement and a hand-rubbed back finish for smooth, fast playability. The 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard has 22 vintage stainless steel frets, dot inlays, and a convenient heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel.

 

Experience scorching and well-balanced tone with a custom-wound alnico 2 EVH Wolfgang Humbucker in the bridge and a newly added alnico 3 custom-wound EVH Wolfgang Humbucker in the neck, both controlled by a special reverse oriented three-way toggle switch. Stutter-stop à la "You Really Got Me" with the red-button kill switch and play "Cathedral" without any crackle or pop, courtesy of the EVH High Friction (Tone) Pot and an EVH "HPU" or High Performance Upgrade, custom-made Low Friction (Volume) Pot.

 

Sturdy and steadfast, the EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo provides endless sustain and precise tuning regardless of how many dive bombs you rip or how drastically you attack your whammy-bar. The EVH D-Tuna retunes to drop-D and back with strict accuracy at the flick of a finger.

 

Boasts elegant and classic style in a Stealth finish with chrome hardware, black speed knobs and dog leash strap/eye-bolt clasps. A hardshell EVH Striped SKB case and EVH leather strap, (NEVER USED!) included.

Basswood Wolfgang Body with Big-Leaf Maple Top

Featuring an offset shape with larger upper horn, the Wolfgang’s basswood body provides excellent tonal response that is full and rich, along with overall warmth and sustain. The body is capped with a big-leaf maple top for enhanced note separation and clarity.

Bolt-On Quartersawn Maple Neck with Eddie Van Halen's Unique Wolfgang Backshape

Bolt-on is a type of neck construction that joins the maple neck to the body of the guitar with screws or bolts, resulting in bright tone with more control. The quartersawn grain runs the length of the neck for a stronger piece of wood, and is less susceptible to shrinking, warping or splitting, while graphite-reinforcement rods flank the truss rod for even more increased neck stability. For those who prefer a fatter neck, the Wolfgang backshape is a thicker profile in comparison to the standard or modified C- shape with a .805” thickness at the 3rd fret and .890” at the 12th fret.

Direct Mount EVH Wolfgang AL3 (Neck) and EVH Wolfgang Humbucking (Bridge) Pickups 

Not all humbuckers are created equal. An EVH Wolfgang AL3 humbucker in the neck delivers well-rounded tone with more mids for radiant rhythms, while the EVH Alnico 2 Wolfgang humbucker in the bridge kicks your leads into high gear with Eddie’s unparalleled searing lead tone.

Unique Cosmetics and Appointments

Other distinguished details of this instrument include stylish 5-ply body and headstock binding, black Wolfgang headstock, string retainer for improved tension, eye-bolt guitar strap clasps and EVH leather guitar strap.
