General
In the '70s, Eddie Van Halen sparked a revolution by mounting a humbucker onto his ST-style guitar. Since then, he's never stopped his pursuit of the ultimate instrument. His latest creation is the EVH Wolfgang, named after his son. This particular model, the EVH Wolfgang Standard, is an affordable way of owning a guitar designed by the maestro himself. With its Trans Purple Burst finish adorning the basswood body, and an elegant flamed maple top, this guitar offers a great combination of performance and beauty.
Power and subtlety
The EVH Wolfgang Standard is built for performance, so it's quite durable. Thanks to graphite reinforcement, the truss rod is remarkably durable and stable. Furthermore, the compound radius makes the neck equally suitable for slow, chugging riffs and rapid solos on the high frets. The two powerful EVH humbuckers, meanwhile, are mounted directly onto the body for extra sustain and resonance. Finally, there's the EVH double-Locking Floyd Rose Rose licensed tremolo bridge that will keep your guitar in tune through even the deepest dive bombs.
Quilted maple and other features
Besides the aforementioned features, there are a few more important characteristics that show that Eddie Van Halen certainly had his say in this guitar's design. For instance, the truss rod is easily adjustable because the nut is situated on the body instead of the headstock. Finally, small details like the black headstock and vintage MXR-style buttons provide the icing on the cake. In short, this guitar is rich with detail and offers great performance, while still managing to remain quite affordable.
