$1745 in stores. Asking $1250. Solid body Electric Guitar with Basswood Body, Maple Neck, Maple Fingerboard, 2 Humbucking Pickups, and Floyd Rose Tremolo
Eddie Van Halen's contributions to the electric guitar are undeniable, and the EVH Wolfgang Special delivers the massive sound and road-tested durability befitting of its legendary namesake. Based around Ed's personal stage guitar, this solid body electric boasts an arched basswood body — the perfect sonic match for its muscular Wolfgang humbuckers. Thanks to a 1-piece, graphite-reinforced maple neck, you'll enjoy rock-solid stability, while a compound-radius fingerboard enables exceptional speed and comfort. Built to King Edward's exact specifications and intentionally positioned against the guitar's body, the Wolfgang Special's dive-bomb-only D-Tuna-equipped Floyd Rose lets you mimic Ed's signature trem work with ease, along with giving you instant access to Drop D tuning. This shiny machine also has a Bourns low-friction volume pot for super-smooth swells. If you want the cradle to truly rock, strap the Wolfgang Special across your shoulder and you'll be shredding all the way to Mean Street.

Right from your first rapid-fire lick, you'll know that the Wolfgang Special is "the one." Its arched basswood body resonates with a warm, mid-forward growl and a defined character that really cuts through a mix. The Wolfgang Special boasts a graphite-reinforced, quartersawn maple neck and a fast-playing compound-radius fingerboard, ensuring easy chording down low and lightning-fast playability up high.

The EVH Wolfgang Special comes outfitted with direct-mount Wolfgang humbuckers. Superhuman chops aside, Eddie forged his unmistakable sound through incessant tinkering with guitar parts and pickups. To achieve his signature tone, Eddie paid particular attention to different pickup windings. The Wolfgang Special's pickups are the culmination of his experimentation. They nail Eddie's classic tone with muscular lows, singing highs, and snarling mids — all the essential elements of EVH's elusive brown sound. This solidbody electric guitar also includes Bourns low-friction volume and high-friction tone knobs.

The Wolfgang Special boasts a top-loaded EVH-branded Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo. First gaining popularity in the 1980s, the Floyd Rose's locking design keeps your guitar in tune, even if you like to perform extreme pitch pyrotechnics. When push comes to shove, you can force the whammy bar all the way down to the guitar's body for psychotic dive-bombing. No matter how much you abuse it, you'll maintain your tuning stability, thanks to the Floyd Rose tremolo's locking design. On top of that, you can easily switch to Drop D tuning, courtesy of the Wolfgang Special's D-Tuna.
