Wolfgang USA Edward Van Halen Signature – Ebony Fingerboard – Ivory
EVH brings you the Wolfgang® USA Edward Van Halen Signature model, loaded with Eddie Van Halens most up-to-date specs along with the classic looks and behemoth sound youve come to expect from an instrument bearing his name. The basswood body features a big-leaf maple top and five-ply binding, while the bolt-on quartersawn maple neck is sculpted to Eddies precise specs, with graphite reinforcement and a hand-rubbed back finish for smooth, fast playability. The 12″-16″ compound radius ebony fingerboard has 22 vintage stainless steel frets, pearloid (Ivory finish) or dot (Stealth finish) inlays, and a convenient heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel. Experience scorching and well-balanced tone with a custom-wound alnico 2 EVH® Wolfgang® Humbucker in the bridge and a newly added alnico 3 custom-wound EVH® Wolfgang Humbucker in the neck, both controlled by a special reverse oriented three-way toggle switch. Stutter-stop à la You Really Got Me with the red-button kill switch and play Cathedral without any crackle or pop, courtesy of the EVH High Friction (Tone) Pot and an EVH HPU or High Performance Upgrade, custom-made Low Friction (Volume) Pot. Sturdy and steadfast, the EVH-branded Floyd Rose® locking tremolo provides endless sustain and precise tuning regardless of how many dive bombs you rip or how drastically you attack your whammy-bar. The EVH D-Tuna® retunes to drop-D and back with strict accuracy at the flick of a finger. Boasts elegant and classic style in Ivory or Stealth finishes with chrome hardware, black speed knobs and dog leash strap/eye-bolt clasps. A hardshell EVH Striped SKB case and EVH leather strap included.
