Description
The EVH Wolfgang Special electric guitar represents over 35 years of Eddie Van Halen’s experience and innovation distilled into an instrument primed for serious rock. This Wolfgang Special features a basswood body and robust graphite-reinforced maple neck for immense sustain and a fluid playing feel. Custom-designed EVH humbucking pickups deliver a crystalline tone with endless sustain for power chords and solos. A Floyd Rose locking tremolo and nut maintain precise tuning even through the most extreme whammy bar use. The EVH D-Tuna allows for quick drop D tuning at the flick of a finger.
High-Speed Neck and Fingerboard
The Wolfgang Special’s quartersawn maple neck and ebony fingerboard were crafted and shaped to Eddie Van Halen’s exacting standards, providing a fast playing feel ideal for energetic riffing and shredding. Its 12″16″ compound radius ebony fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets facilitate huge bends without affecting tone.
Direct-Mounted EVH Humbuckers
The Wolfgang Special’s custom-designed EVH humbucking pickups are mounted directly to the basswood body, producing a thick yet sparkling tone with virtually endless sustain. These pickups deliver the power and articulation needed for everything from crunchy power chords to searing solos.
Performance-FocComponents
Every feature of the Wolfgang Special was selected and designed for high-speed playing. Its low-friction volume knob allows for fast, violin-like volume swells, while its tone knob resists unwanted changes in tone during energetic playing. The EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo and nut provide rock-solid tuning stability for extreme whammy bar use.
A Guitarist’s Dream
Eddie Van Halen’s decades of experience and experimentation have been distilled into the Wolfgang Special, a guitar that places highly responsive performance and tone into any player’s hands. With stunning style, massive sound and effortless playability, this shred machine begs to be unleashed.
