Here for sale we have an EVH Wolfgang Special Electric Guitar in Polar White finish. Made in Mexico in 2018, this guitar features a bolt-on construction consisting of a Basswood body, a Quartersawn Maple neck and 22 Jumbo fret Maple fingerboard. This instrument is fitted with a EVH-Branded Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo with a EVH D-Tuna, a Floyd Rose R2 Locking nut and a set of EVH Branded Gotoh tuning machines. The pickups in this guitar are a pair of EVH Wolfgang humbuckers, these are wired to a 3-way selector, master volume and a master tone.

 

The Quartersawn Maple neck is carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen's exact specifications and features a hand-rubbed satin urethane finish on the back. The ‘Wolfgang Backshape’ profile is a thicker profile in comparison to the standard or modified ‘C’ shape filling the hand nicely for a smooth and articulate playing experience up and down the neck. Primed for high performance, energetic riffing and blazing leads, the 12"-16" compound radius Maple fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets assisting with string bends and vibrato techniques, delivering a tailored playing experience in any position, whilst offering a nice balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for quick lead lines. The unique body design provides uninhibited access to the upper register, ensuring a razor sharp playing experience in all registers.

 

Not all humbuckers are created equal, the direct mount EVH Wolfgang humbuckers with Alnico 2 magnets are hot and harness Eddie’s scorching signature lead tone that captivated the world of rock ‘n’ roll in the ‘70s and ‘80s. These pickups deliver rich harmonics, cutting highs and snarling mids in spades. The bridge pickup provides a fat and punchy humbucker-like sound, making power chords sound gritty, whilst also providing soaring lead tones with broad tonal dynamics. However, with subtler amp settings the bridge offers a bright, glassy clean tone making harmonics sing with a bell like tonality. The middle position provides bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. The neck pickup offers a smooth, warm, rounded tone that handles distorted tones as well as it handles clean tones, making solo lines a sumptuous affair.
