The Original Music Man EVH Signature

Introduced in the early 1990s, the Ernie Ball Music Man EVH Signature was designed around Eddie Van Halen's preferences for a compact, comfortable guitar with straightforward controls and powerful humbucker tones.

Its distinctive body shape, figured maple neck, and translucent finish give it an immediately recognizable appearance.

Early examples like this 1992 Red Translucent model remain especially appealing to players and collectors looking for an original instrument from Eddie's Music Man era.

Original DiMarzio EVH Pickups

The original DiMarzio EVH humbuckers deliver the punch, articulation, and harmonic response associated with this signature model.

The bridge pickup provides aggressive attack and strong midrange presence for driven rhythm and lead work, while the neck pickup offers a fuller, smoother voice.

A single master volume control keeps the electronics simple and allows quick adjustments while playing.

Neck & Feel

The beautifully figured birdseye maple neck and fingerboard are standout features of this guitar.

Its thin neck profile measures .82" at the 1st fret and .95" at the 12th, with a measured 1.63" nut width.

The 10" fingerboard radius, 22 frets, and compact body provide a comfortable, responsive playing experience, while the Music Man vintage tremolo and Schaller locking tuners complete the performance-focused design.

At 7 lbs 14 oz, this example is also comfortably lightweight.

Original Hard-Shell Case

The guitar includes its original hard-shell case, which is in very good condition and remains fully functional.
