In order to meet the demands of Van Halen, a guitar needs to be effortless to play. Which is why the EVH Wolfgang features a sleek baked maple fretboard and a compound radius. This is what gave Van Halen his lightning-quick playing power, making each of his guitars an absolute shredding machine. Perform the most audacious of dive bombs and whammy acrobatics with absolute peace of mind, thanks to a locking Floyd Rose bridge and nut. So you can fuel your sound with pure expression and trust that your guitar will return to its original tuning. Every single time. Performance at its peak.

Pickups for pros. The pickups which have been carefully selected for this model will take your ears on a sonic journey. A Direct Mount Wolfgang humbucker in the bridge position has tonnes of quality locked inside its coiled wires. Being a humbucker, it offers plenty of powerful output, whilst making each note you play sound full and articulate. When using a lot of gain, each note you play will have plenty of attack, aggression, and saturated crunch, whilst cleaner settings will sound clear and bright.
The neck pickup, which is also a Direct Mount Wolfgang humbucker, will give you a lifetime of satisfaction when you're playing lead. Whether you're shredding like lightning or playing slowly and with feel, each note will be sharply defined and have a luscious, well balanced tone which will shoot straight through to your heart like an arrow. With these top class magnets pumping out divine tone, you'll be equipped to conquer any stage or song with complete confidence.
In order to reach the soaring heights of Van Halen's performance, you need a guitar that is simply effortless to play. Luckily, EVH have sculpted every detail of the Wolfgang to ensure you can perform with complete freedom. A baked maple neck is shaped into the traditional Wolfgang Backshape, with a compound radius that extends further up the fretboard. What this means, is players will experience optimum comfort throughout the entirety of its scale length. So you can unleash those shredding licks with ease.
As for the fretboard, it's crafted from sleek baked maple, too. Naturally, its ultra-smooth surface lets your fingers glide between riffs and solos. But it's the unique oiled finish that takes playability to the next level. Endless peak performance. Tailored for the maverick of guitar.
