Overview

The fruit of Eddie' 35 years of experimenting with guitars now sans vibrato.

The legendary high-performance guitar that started it all now has a TonePros hardtail bridge with stop tailpiece and fine tuners for the ultimate in stable intonation and precise tuning.

The EVH USA Wolfgang guitar represents Eddie' 35 years of experimenting with guitars, over two years of intense research and development, and a full year of brutal road testing during the top-grossing Van Halen 2007-2008 tour.

It was during the massive 2007-2008 Van Halen tour that the all-new EVH Wolfgang guitar went through extensive live œroad testing performance trials. The tour kicked off in fall 2007, and Eddie punished early versions of the new Wolfgang each night; playing every updated prototype onstage under the full, unfiltered spotlight of his fans. The results are reflected in the EVH Wolfgang guitar; produced to Eddie' exact specifications and with features identical to the Wolfgang guitars he records and performs with.

œA guitar is a very personal extension of the person playing it. You have to be emotionally and spiritually connected to your instrument. I could have just stayed at home and built this guitar for myself. I do this because a lot of people ask if they can get what I use. Well, yes you can and what you get is identical to what I use, commented Eddie. œFrom the basics of the guitar to painstaking aspects like the binding and everything else”we re-did everything on this guitar.

œEvery aspect and component of this guitar has been examined and upgraded to the highest standards possible: stainless steel frets, double-potted custom-wound pickups, five-piece binding on the matching body and headstock, custom-made signature tuning machines, new low-friction pots, and the list keeps going ¦ we left no stone unturned, said Eddie. œEverything that I™ve built, destroyed, stumbled onto, learned and experienced is in this guitar.
