Description
Road-tested in arenas around the world, the Wolfgang Special is a purebred music-making machine, designed with stunning style, giant sound and high-speed playability.

The Wolfgang Special features a basswood body with an arched top and a robust graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck, carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen’s exacting specifications and with a handrubbed urethane back finish. Primed for high performance, energetic riffing and blazing leads, its 12 -16” compound radius ebony fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays. Truss rod adjustments have also never been easier thanks to a spoke wheel conveniently located at the base of the neck.  

A pair of flagship custom designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking pickups are mounted directly to the body, providing dynamic yet articulate voicing, as well as endless sustain for powerful chords and melody lines. A sturdy and dependable EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo and Floyd
Rose locking nut work in tandem for precise tuning even with extreme changes in pitch, while the EVH D-Tuna retunes to drop-D and back with strict accuracy at the flick of a finger, with a low-friction volume control for smooth swells and a high-friction tone control that prevents accidental tone shifting.  

Spotlight-ready, the Wolfgang Special is offered in three new eyecatching finishes. The Candy Apple Red Metallic and Ivory models feature attractive single-ply cream body binding and chrome hardware, while the Satin Orange Crush model offers single-ply black body binding and black hardware.

    This is a really well made guitar, I'm impressed with the natural resonance it provides and comes with EVH 9.5 gauge strings I think. Personally, I am a fan of shorter frets than what this comes with, but the sound is great. The Floyd Rose system takes getting used to.

    Buy it. This is an amazing guitar. The color Deep Purple Metallic really stands out. It plays like butter and sounds like it has active pickups. Very sensitive. And it stays in tune. Buy it!

  • I Love this guitar.

    Color is great and so not what I expected. The neck feels like I've been playing it for years and it sound amazing.

    I love the body style of this series but I wish they'd increase the size of the head stock - this Guitar I already feels small! I also love the ebony fretboard and fast smooth neck. I'd like to hear more tone change when working thru the selector switch.
