EVH Wolfgang Special with Ebony Fingerboard Electric Guitar Silverburst

When you pick up the EVH Wolfgang Special Electric Guitar, you're getting a road-tested shred machine designed by the legendary Eddie Van Halen. Built with a basswood body and arched maple top, it delivers giant sound perfect for soaring leads and energetic riffing. The robust maple neck is meticulously rolled and carved to Eddie's exacting specs, then finished by hand for smooth playability. With its Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge, this guitar stays in tune even when you're getting wild with dive bombs and extreme whammy tricks. The ebony fingerboard has jumbo frets designed for speed, while the custom EVH Wolfgang humbuckers were voiced for singing sustain and articulate tone. When you dial back the volume, the treble bleed circuit preserves those crucial highs. This Wolfgang Special gives you the tools to play with fluidity and accuracy just like the master himself.

Feel the Resonance of the Slim Basswood Body

The Wolfgang's lightweight basswood body vibrates freely for singing sustain. Along with its arched top, the basswood construction produces clear, resonant tones across the entire frequency range. Combined with the quartersawn maple neck, the basswood body provides exceptional tonal balance. The sculpted cutaway gives you easy access to the highest frets for blazing leads. On stage or in studio, the Wolfgang Special gives you the comfort, style and giant tone needed to take your playing to the next level.

Soar Through Solos with Custom EVH Wolfgang Pickups

The Wolfgang Special Electric Guitar comes loaded with a pair of Eddie's custom-designed humbuckers, mounted directly to the body for massive tone. These pickups deliver singing sustain, letting your notes bloom with richness and harmonic complexity. The bridge pickup has plenty of punch for energetic riffing, while the neck pickup sings with rounded warmth perfect for melodic leads. Together they give you a dynamic tonal palette, from bright and cutting to smooth and creamy.

Maple Neck Engineered for Speed and Comfort

When Eddie Van Halen sets out to design a guitar neck, you know it's going to play fast. The quartersawn maple neck is rolled and carved to his preferred profile, maximizing comfort. It has a hand-rubbed satin finish so your hands glide effortlessly up and down the smooth contours. The 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard has jumbo frets giving you the space to really dig in and bend notes with accuracy and confidence. With its thin nut width, this Wizard neck feels natural and allows for intricate riffing and quick chord changes.

Built-in Tuning Stability with Floyd Rose Tremolo

No matter how wild you get with the whammy bar, this guitar won't go out of tune thanks to the Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo system. The EVH-branded Floyd Rose combines a locking nut with a finely tuned tremolo bridge that returns to pitch every time. Cranked up with heavy distortion, you can really take advantage of the dynamic dive bombs, screeching pinched harmonics and radical pitch effects that made Eddie famous. The EVH D-Tuna allows quick drop D tuning at the flick of a switch too.

Sculpt Your Sound with Smart Controls

The Wolfgang Special gives you the tools to shape your tone with precision and nuance. The 500k volume pot allows silky smooth swells and fades, while the treble bleed circuit retains those all-important highs. The 250k tone knob lets you find the perfect EQ setting without accidental bumps. Black knurled control knobs are easy to grip. And the 3-way toggle switch selects bridge, neck or both pickups for even more tonal variety. When you want pure Van Halen power, this Wolfgang Special delivers.
