Description
The EVH Wolfgang Standard QM takes no prisoners with its ruthlessly high-performance design and searing signature tone. This purebred shredder was co-designed by Eddie Van Halen himself to give serious players everything they need to let their most incendiary leads and monster riffs fly free. With its premium tonewoods, powerful EVH humbuckers and lightning-fast playability, this Wolfgang Standard is a true icon ready to inspire your wildest fingerboard heroics.
Signature EVH Humbuckers Unleash Blistering Tone
At the heart of the Wolfgang Special are a pair of Eddie Van Halen's personal signature humbuckers, wound with Alnico 2 magnets for dynamic, expressive tone. These ferocious pickups dish out tight lows, searing mids and crisp highs with seemingly endless sustain, perfect for ripping solos and colossal chords. Whether you're channeling the fury of "Eruption" or the swagger of "Hot for Teacher," these humbuckers will make your playing explode with energy and personality. And with a simple toggle switch, you can effortlessly blend between the bridge and neck pickups for even more versatile tones.
Built for Blistering Speed and Precision
Designed to Van Halen's exact specifications, the quartersawn baked maple neck on the Wolfgang Standard is a true speed demon. Its hand-rubbed satin urethane finish lets your fretting hand blaze up and down the compound-radius 12"–16" baked maple fingerboard with zero drag. Jumbo stainless steel frets make intricate legato licks sing, while the spoke wheel truss rod adjuster makes on-the-fly neck tweaks a breeze. Whether you're unleashing torrents of sweep picking or scorching tremolo work, the Wolfgang Special's neck is engineered to give you the utmost in speed, bendability and playing comfort.
Unwavering Tuning Stability, Even Under Extreme Dive Bombing
Thanks to its Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge and EVH D-Tuna system, the Wolfgang Standard remains in tune through the most extreme pitch shifts and dive bombs. The Floyd Rose lets you deepen notes dramatically for searing dive bombs and whammying while keeping everything rock-solid stable. And with the flick of the D-Tuna lever, you can instantly drop the low E-string down to D for thicker power chords or crushing single-note riffs. This dynamic duo of tuning hardware empowers you to take your playing to the outer limits with absolute confidence.
Premium Tonewoods Deliver Punchy, Articulate Tone
The Wolfgang Special's basswood body with an arched quilt maple top delivers the perfect blend of warmth and bite. Basswood provides a punchy midrange foundation and smooth, even sustain, while the maple cap adds snap and clarity to the overall tone. The graphite-reinforced quartersawn maple neck contributes additional resonance and note attack. Whether you're playing metal, hard rock or even blues, the Wolfgang Special's premium tonewoods ensure your leads and chords will sing with powerful, articulate tone.
With its meticulously crafted components and signature EVH DNA, the Wolfgang Special is a true icon ready to elevate your playing to new heights of expression and excitement.
