EVH Wolfgang Special Electric Guitar Stealth Maple Fretboard

The EVH Wolfgang Special electric guitar represents over 35 years of Eddie Van Halen's experience and innovation distilled into an instrument primed for serious rock. This Wolfgang Special features a basswood body and robust graphite-reinforced maple neck for immense sustain and a fluid playing feel. Custom-designed EVH humbucking pickups deliver a crystalline tone with endless sustain for power chords and solos. A Floyd Rose locking tremolo and nut maintain precise tuning even through the most extreme whammy bar use. The EVH D-Tuna allows for quick drop-D tuning at the flick of a finger.

High-Speed Neck and Fingerboard

The Wolfgang Special's quartersawn maple neck and ebony fingerboard were crafted and shaped to Eddie Van Halen's exacting standards, providing a fast playing feel ideal for energetic riffing and shredding. Its 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets facilitate huge bends without affecting tone.

Direct-Mounted EVH Humbuckers

The Wolfgang Special's custom-designed EVH humbucking pickups are mounted directly to the basswood body, producing a thick yet sparkling tone with virtually endless sustain. These pickups deliver the power and articulation needed for everything from crunchy power chords to searing solos.

Performance-Focused Components

Every feature of the Wolfgang Special was selected and designed for high-speed playing. Its low-friction volume knob allows for fast, violin-like volume swells, while its tone knob resists unwanted changes in tone during energetic playing. The EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo and nut provide rock-solid tuning stability for extreme whammy bar use.

A Guitarist's Dream

Eddie Van Halen's decades of experience and experimentation have been distilled into the Wolfgang Special, a guitar that places highly responsive performance and tone into any player's hands. With stunning style, massive sound, and effortless playability, this shred machine begs to be unleashed.
