Engineered for speed, comfort and full-throttle attitude, the reimagined 5150 Series Deluxe is an iconic blast from the past that blends both throwback and modernized features. Like its predecessor, the limited-edition 5150 Deluxe electric guitar features a modified Strat-style body with a deeper upper body curve. The ash body is paired with a graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck that has a comfortable modified "C" profile, hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel and "hockey stick" headstock with EVH logo decal. Built for smooth and speedy playability, the 12"–16" compound radius ebony fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays.

While the famed striped original had a single-humbucking bridge pickup only, this 5150 Deluxe is outfitted with a dual-humbucking configuration controlled by a three-way toggle on the upper bout. The custom-designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking bridge pickup delivers the ideal amount of punch and articulation with sweet sustain and thick chunky rhythms in a perfectly balanced EQ curve. The EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking neck pickup serves up no-nonsense overdrive and endless sustain without skimping on articulate cleans when the volume is rolled down. A custom-designed low-friction volume knob creates even-volume tapering for the smoothest volume swells, while the high-friction tone knob will stay in place even if accidentally bumped. An added new feature comes in the way of a lower bout kill switch, allowing you to mute your guitar for those stutter, rhythmic effects.

Decked out with a "dive-bomb"-certified EVH-branded top-mount Floyd Rose bridge, the locking tailpiece features fine tuners for each string and a patented EVH D-Tuna for switching back and forth from drop-D to standard tuning in an instant. A modern spin on a fan favorite, the limited-edition 5150 Deluxe Ash is elegance personified with a Natural stain finish and all-chrome hardware, including the EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines.
