The EVH Wolfgang Special QM provides a pure music-making experience. Designed for high performance, its basswood body topped with an arched quilt maple top gives you robust, articulate tone. The graphite-reinforced maple neck is carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen's specifications so you'll fly up and down the baked maple fingerboard. Custom EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbuckers are mounted directly to the body, delivering endless sustain for powerful rock riffs and searing leads. A Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo means you'll stay in tune even with extreme pitch changes. For arena-ready tone and playability, plug in the EVH Wolfgang Special QM.

Quilt Maple Top Provides Crisp, Cutting Tone

The Wolfgang Special QM's basswood body is topped with an arched quilt maple top, which provides a tight, focused tone with plenty of brightness and cut. You'll get excellent note definition and clarity, perfect for complex chords and single-note runs. The maple top adds visual flair, too, with a 3D quilted pattern that catches the light.

Graphite-Reinforced Maple Neck for Speed and Stability

The quartersawn maple neck is reinforced with graphite for rock-solid stability under changing weather conditions. Carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen's personal specifications, the neck has an ultra-fast satin urethane finish so your hand glides smoothly up and down the fingerboard. A 12" to 16" compound radius gives you effortless string bending in the higher frets.

Custom Humbuckers Deliver High-Gain Tone

A pair of EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking pickups are mounted directly to the body, eliminating the tone-dampening effects of a pickguard. These hot humbuckers produce a high-output tone that's perfect for hard rock and metal, with rich lows, aggressive mids and detailed highs. Coil-tapped for single-coil sounds, the humbuckers offer a wide range of tones for any style.

Double-Locking Tremolo Keeps You in Tune

A Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo means you'll stay in tune even with wild dive bombs and squeals. The Floyd Rose nut locks down the strings at the headstock, while the bridge locks them at the body end. This rock-solid tuning stability lets you wail without constraint. An EVH D-Tuna allows quick drop-D tuning at the flick of a lever for low-tuned riffing.
