EVH Wolfgang Special - Baked Maple - Ebony - Ivory

Eddie Van Halen was one of the most influential guitar players of all time, the original King of shred; his tapping technique has spawned a thousand impersonators. Known for his love of tinkering and modding his own guitars, EVH deliver guitars built to Eddies exact specifications. The Wolfgang design really is a fan favourite, named after Eddies son, its a straight Rock n Roll machine!

This Wolfgang Special features a solid Basswood body with a carved archtop. Basswood is known for its lightweight nature and for having a balanced, neutral tone, which makes it a consistent and strong choice for this model. The double cutaway body shape allows for great access to the upper frets, so if youre playing some Eddie inspired shred, youll have no issues hitting the high notes.

The bolt-on quartersawn maple neck has gone through EVHs roasting process, which helps to increase stability and resistance to the effects of humidity. The help with this further, the neck is also reinforced with graphite rods. If you do find yourself needing to adjust the truss rod, this can be achieved through the spoke wheel located at the base of the neck. The ebony fingerboard is dark in colour and works really well with the roasted maple neck. It features a 25.5 scale length, 12-16 compound radius, 22 jumbo frets, 41.3mm nut width, and pearloid dot inlays.

With a pair of custom-designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking pickups, you get that iconic Eddie Van Halen power and punch straight out the box. Theyre mounted directly to the body, which really helps with sustain. This guitar also features an EVH branded Floyd Rose bridge equipped with Eddies D-Tuna mod, allowing you to instantly drop your bottom E string putting you in Drop D.
