EVH Wolfgang Special Electric Guitar - Polar White

Our Take:

Designed by the legend himself, the EVH Wolfgang Special is a guitar meant for players who prefer to fly over the fretboard. Featuring a compound-radius quarter-sawn maple neck, the Wolfgang Special offers exceptional speed, comfortability, and aggressiveness -- without fear of accidental de-tuning, thanks to the EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo system. With a basswood body and dual direct-mounted EVH Wolfgang pickups, this guitar is a shredder's dream. Featured here in Polar White finish.

EVH's Take:

Road-tested in arenas around the world, the Wolfgang® Special is a purebred music-making machine, designed with stunning style, giant sound and high-speed playability.

The Wolfgang Special features a basswood body with an arched top and a robust graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck. The neck is carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen’s exacting specifications and features a hand-rubbed urethane back finish. Primed for high performance, energetic riffing and blazing leads, the 12”-16” compound radius maple fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays. Truss rod adjustments have also never been easier thanks to a spoke wheel conveniently located at the base of the neck.

A pair of flagship custom designed black EVH® Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking pickups are mounted directly to the body, providing dynamic yet articulate voicing, as well as endless sustain for powerful chords and melody lines. A sturdy and dependable EVH-branded Floyd Rose® locking trem and Floyd Rose locking nut work in tandem for precise tuning even with extreme changes in pitch, while the EVH D-Tuna® retunes to drop-D and back with strict accuracy at the flick of a finger, with a low-friction volume control for smooth swells and a high-friction tone control that prevents accidental tone shifting.
