EVH 5150 Series Deluxe QM Electric Guitar - Limeade Zest

Built for speed, dialed for control and finished with a striking visual edge, the EVH 5150 Series Deluxe QM electric guitar refines a high-performance platform without slowing it down. A basswood body capped with a quilted maple top adds snap and articulation to a focused, high-gain voice, while a graphite-reinforced quartersawn baked maple neck and compound-radius fingerboard are engineered for precision at any tempo. Dual EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbuckers deliver articulate power with smooth sustain, and a Floyd Rose tremolo with EVH D-Tuna provides expressive range with rock-solid tuning. True to the EVH brand, every element is tuned for immediacy, response and total playing control.

Basswood Body With Quilted Maple Top for Balanced Response and Enhanced Articulation

Pairing a basswood body with a quilted maple top, the 5150 Deluxe QM combines tonal balance with added definition and visual depth. Basswood provides a smooth, even response with controlled lows and a focused midrange that stays clear under high gain, while the maple top adds snap and articulation to the attack. A deeper upper body contour improves comfort and creates a more natural playing position. Finished in gloss urethane, the body maintains durability while allowing the stunning quilted figure to stand out with clarity and dimension.

Wolfgang Alnico 2 Humbuckers With Streamlined Control for Dynamic Expression

Direct-mount EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbuckers in both the bridge and neck positions deliver a powerful, balanced voice with strong articulation and smooth sustain. The bridge pickup provides focused attack and punch for tight rhythm work, while the neck adds thickness and saturation without sacrificing clarity. A three-way toggle allows quick access to each configuration, while a low-friction volume control with treble bleed supports smooth swells and maintains high-end detail. A high-friction tone knob stays securely in place, and a dedicated kill switch enables precise, rhythmic stutter effects for added expressive control.

Quartersawn Baked Maple Neck With Compound Radius for Speed and Stability

Reinforced with graphite rods, the bolt-on quartersawn baked maple neck delivers strength and long-term stability while maintaining consistent performance across changing conditions. Carved to EVH’s modified "C" profile, it offers a fast, comfortable feel suited for both rhythm precision and fluid lead work. A hand-rubbed satin urethane back reduces friction for smooth movement, while the 12–16" compound-radius baked maple fingerboard transitions from a rounder feel for chording to a flatter surface for bends and fast runs. With 22 jumbo frets and a heel-mounted truss rod adjustment wheel, the neck is built for accuracy, speed and easy adjustment.

Floyd Rose Tremolo With EVH D-Tuna for Stability

Designed for aggressive performance, the EVH-branded top-mount Floyd Rose locking tremolo maintains stable tuning through dive-bombs, pull-ups and wide vibrato techniques. Fine tuners on each string allow precise adjustment, while the locking nut ensures consistent pitch under heavy use. The integrated EVH D-Tuna provides instant access to drop-D tuning without interrupting performance, expanding versatility in both live and studio environments. Paired with EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines, the system delivers reliable, performance-ready stability.

The EVH 5150 Deluxe QM: A Refined Take on a Performance-Driven Design

Refining a platform built for speed, control and tonal immediacy, the EVH 5150 Series Deluxe QM guitar adds a quilted maple top that enhances both articulation and visual presence. With its fast-playing baked maple neck, versatile Wolfgang pickups, Floyd Rose system with D-Tuna and streamlined control layout, it delivers a direct, responsive playing experience across a wide range of high-performance styles. It all equates to an axe that is engineered to translate every nuance of your playing with clarity, power and precision.
