The EVH Wolfgang USA Edward Van Halen Signature model is loaded with Eddie Van Halen's innovative specs and the classic style that shaped the modern rock guitar. Crafted in the USA, this solidbody electric guitar features a basswood body with a figured big leaf maple top and an ebony fingerboard for smooth playability. Powered by a pair of custom-designed humbucking pickups, the Wolfgang USA delivers the thick, articulate tone and lightning-fast responsiveness that was required for Eddie's jaw-dropping techniques. This Wolfgang USA is made to fuel your creativity and push the boundaries of rock guitar.

Custom Pickups Provide Signature EVH Tone

The Wolfgang USA is equipped with a pair of custom-designed EVH humbucking pickups that provide the powerful yet nuanced tone that Eddie is known for. The bridge pickup delivers a bold, aggressive tone with tight lows, searing highs and a slight midrange scoop, perfect for complex riffing and blazing solos. The neck pickup produces a warm, rounded tone with rich lows and smooth highs, ideal for chords and cleans. A 3-way toggle switch provides access to each pickup individually as well as a combination of both pickups.

Fast Maple Neck and Ebony Fingerboard

The Wolfgang USA features a quartersawn maple neck and an ebony fingerboard, a combination selected for optimum playability and tone. The fast maple neck profile provides comfort and speed, while the ebony fingerboard offers a smooth feel and articulate note definition. A 12"–16" compound radius allows effortless string bending and low action. 22 jumbo frets extend up to the 24th fret on this versatile performance guitar.

Striking Aesthetics and Premium Components

The Wolfgang USA boasts a striking figured maple top with a gloss polyurethane finish in your choice of transparent amber or transparent black. The contoured basswood body is comfortably lightweight yet resonant. Premium components include Schaller M6-IND locking tuners, a Floyd Rose 1500 series tremolo bridge and black hardware. A hardshell case is included for protection and transport.
