EVH Wolfgang
The EVH Wolfgang, a guitar based on one of the signature guitars of Eddie Van Halen, is not an exact replica of the guitar used by the famous musician. It features the same shape, but it’s a bit more refined and features a few differences. It features a three tuners on a side, and these tuners, like a lot of the hardware for the guitar, are specially made for the EVH Wolfgang (in this case, by Gotoh). The Wolfgang features items such as the first-ever Floyd Rose tremolo bridge. In fact, the guitar has both the Van Halen logo and the Floyd Rose logo on it, showing just how much Floyd Rose was involved in its design.
The guitar weighs about eight pounds, which is normal for this style of guitar. It’s set up to the standard Van Halen spec, and unlike most modern guitars, the neck is styled more in the old-style and feels more like an older Strat than a modern instrument. The Wolfgang features things like stainless steel frets to make it resistant to wear and tear.
When it comes to any instrument, it’s the sound that’s important. The Wolfgang delivers. It features a natural tone with a good midrange. It’s quite easy to hear unplugged, but add an amp and it’s just as nice. It’s got a nice, clean tone to it and performs very nicely.
All in all, the EVH Wolfgang is solidly built, will resist a good amount of use, and puts out a great sound.

Eddie Van Halen has carved a hall of fame legacy with his music over the past 35 years and has proven to be one of the all-time greats. He has been experimenting and tinkering with homemade guitars and making his own personal modifications for his entire career. His original homemade creation, built over 35 years ago, known as Frankenstein, is now on display at the Smithsonian Museum. After having many signature models with various manufacturers throughout the years, Eddie has taken the reigns himself. Years of painstaking design, prototypes and rigorous road testing have culminated in the arrival of the EVH Wolfgang Special . The EVH Wolfgang Special has been built to Eddie Van Halens exact specs, right down to the last detail. Rather than attach his name to a mass produced guitar, he chose to replicate HIS guitar and sell it to the public. It was his desire to share with everyone what works for him. The Wolfgang starts with a 1.5 thick basswood core, and capped off with a Maple veneer top. Multi-layered binding graces the edges of the body, giving the Wolfgang a clean, sleek look. The electronics feature a pair of EVH designed custom humbucking pickups, and will deliver slabs of that EVH tone you are looking for. These pickups were the result of endless experimentation and road testing, and come to you with EVHs seal of approval.The neck is carved from quartersawn AA birdseye maple to the exact profile that Eddie prefers. The 22 stainless steel fret fingerboard is shaped into a compound radius ranging from 12 to 16 which maximizes playability and facilitates effortless string bending without the annoyance of fretting out. The hardware features an EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo, which works in tandem with the Floyd Rose Locking Nut. The EVH Wolfgang will hold tune through the even the most aggressive dive bomb soloing. Finally, the EVH Wolfgang comes in a protective SKB case.Order your EVH Wolfgang Special Left Handed Electric Guitar with SKB Case from... |

EVH Wolfgang: 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. Edward Van HalenFrom Eddie Van Halen comes an all-new guitarthe Wolfgangrepresenting over 35 years of cumulative EVH experience and expertise in guitar design. The process undertaken to develop the Wolfgang took over two years of intense trial-and-error research. The formidable task yielded a series of prototypes that endured a full year of brutal in-concert road testing by Eddie on Van Halens triumphant 2007-2008 world tour. The result is a bulletproof and beautiful tonal giant of a guitar that takes whatever you can dish out and then asks for more.As the VH tour kicked off in the fall 2007, Eddie pushed every aspect of the Wolfgangs performance capabilities to the absolute limit, playing various Wolfgang prototypes every night on virtually every song. As the tour roared along, Eddie changed and adjusted components and specs until he was satisfied with the Wolfgangs sound, feel and looks. To prove that it was battle-worthy and could survive the road, performance data was collected from every gig for months and months to establish and confirm consistency and durability.This is what makes the Wolfgang the culmination of Eddie Van Halens endless pursuit of outstanding tone, durability and consistency; the EVH Wolfgang guitar is built to his exact specs and has every single feature of the Wolfgang guitars he himself plays onstage and in the studio. Its exactly what he uses.Everything that Ive built, destroyed, stumbled onto, learned and experienced is in this guitar, Eddie Van Halen said.
