EVH Eddie Van Halen Wolfgang USA Guitar, Ebony Fretboard, Ivory

All too often in the guitar world, guitars geared toward faster, more distorted styles wind up sacrificing tone for playability. The EVH Wolfgang is a refreshing exception, and in a big way.

Make no mistake - this guitar is simply a joy to play. It feels just like it looks: fast and precise. The neck is super fast and comfortable everywhere, bends are easy and lightning fast runs are effortless. The upper register on this guitar is really something special. All the way up to the 22nd fret, full step bends and heavy vibratos are not only easy but still have the same dynamic responsiveness as the rest of the neck, making for a true singer of a guitar. The body is extremely comfortable sitting or standing.

The EVH humbuckers are the headliner of this axe and are obviously a big part of the guitar's signature sound, and we found them to have great clarity under heavy distortion and sound surprisingly good for low-gain styles as well. 

The construction is rock solid - this guitar can take tons of abuse and still play wonderfully. Would you expect anything less from the man who took shred to the next level?

The original guitar that launched the line, the EVH Wolfgang USA unleashes pure, unadulterated rock 'n' roll power.

Since its launch in 2007, the EVH brand has had one mission—to take the tools Eddie Van Halen uses to create his groundbreaking guitar work and place them in your hands.

Over 35 years of innovation and experience were injected into the creation of the original Wolfgang USA, which continues to unleash pure unadulterated rock ‘n’ roll power, titanic sound, speedy playability and stunning spotlight-ready style.

“Everything that I’ve built, destroyed, stumbled onto, learned and experienced is in this guitar,” Eddie Van Halen said. “Every aspect and component of this guitar has been examined and upgraded to the highest standards possible: stainless steel frets, double-potted custom-wound pickups, five-piece binding on the matching body and headstock, custom-made signature tuning machines and Floyd Rose bridge, new low-friction pots, and the list keeps going. We left no stone unturned.”

The Wolfgang USA features a basswood body with either an arched big-leaf maple or 5A flame maple top, bolt-on quartersawn maple neck with graphite reinforcement, 12”–16” compound radius ebony fingerboard with 22 vintage stainless steel frets and mother of pearl block inlays (dot inlays on Stealth), direct mount EVH Wolfgang USA zebra humbucking pickups, three-way toggle switching with reverse wiring, volume control with 500K EVH Bourns low friction pot with treble bleed circuit, tone control with 250K EVH Bourns high friction pot, EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge with EVH D-Tuna and EVH-branded Gotho High Ratio die-cast tuners with white pearloid buttons.

Experience ultra-speedy plability, colossal sound and classic looks with the Wolfgang USA.
