Limited Edition Wolfgang Special Striped Series, Distressed Ivory
Woooo! The Limited-Edition Wolfgang 2015 puts an homage to Eddie Van Halen's historic and authentic style in your hands. This model is an homage to the touring guitar Edward Van Halen used on the 2015 "Different Kind of Truth" world tour. The distressed "Ivory over black" was a last-minute special request which was used to replace his #1 for the 2015 world tour.
This sports a basswood body with arched top, robust graphite-reinforced quartersawn maple neck - carved and rolled to EVH's exacting specifications and a speedy 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets for facilitating energetic riffing and blazing leads. A heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel also makes for quick and easy neck relief tweaks, a feature guitar techs everywhere will thank you for.
The crystal clear custom-designed EVH Wolfgang Humbucking pickups are mounted directly to the body, supplying girth and sparkle, as well as near-endless sustain to power chords and melody lines.
Every component of this guitar has been selected and positioned for high-speed playing. The low-friction volume knob lets you perform speedy violin-like volume swells with ease while the tone knob resists easy turning - avoiding unwanted tonal shifts as your picking hand flies furiously across the strings. The rock-solid EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge combines with the Floyd Rose locking nut to maintain precise tuning, no matter how insane your whammy-bar histrionics get. The EVH D-Tuna retunes to Drop-D and back with strict accuracy at the mere flick of a finger, making this the only guitar you'll need onstage. Other features include a momentary kill switch, EVH Wolfgang AL2 bridge and AL3 humbuckers and quasi-recessed EVH Floyd Rose 1000 series double locking tremolo, with D Tuna and comes with an EVH Striped Series gig bag.
