EVH Wolfgang Special Electric Guitar - Stealth Black

Our Take:

Designed by the legend himself, the EVH Wolfgang Special is a guitar meant for players who prefer to fly over the fretboard. Featured here in Stealth Black finish, this version of the Wolfgang Special is even faster playing than its siblings, thanks to the Ebony fingerboard it boasts! 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.

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.
