EVH Wolfgang USA Quilt-Top Tobacco Sunburst

EVH Wolfgang USA Tobacco Sunburst. 

From Eddie Van Halen comes the Wolfgang, representing over 35 years of cumulative EVH experience and expertise in guitar design. Eddie worked side by side with Fender to make this guitar a reality. The process undertaken to develop the Wolfgang took over two years of intense trial-and-error research. From this a series of prototypes were made that endured a full year of brutal in-concert road testing by Eddie on Van Halen's 2007-2008 world tour. The result is a bulletproof and beautiful tonal giant of a guitar that takes whatever you can dish out and then asks for more. Available to the public beginning in January 2009, the EVH® Wolfgang guitar is built to his exact specs and has every single feature of the Wolfgang guitars he himself plays onstage and in the studio. It's exactly what he uses. "Everything that I've built, destroyed, stumbled onto, learned and experienced is in this guitar," Eddie Van Halen said. "Every 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 and Floyd Rose® bridge, new low-friction pots, and the list keeps going. We left no stone unturned.". The EVH Wolfgang features include an Basswood body, AA Quilted Maple Top, Quartersawn Oiled Maple Neck, Compound Radius Birdseye Maple Fingerboard, EVH Humbucking Pickups, Original Floyd Rose Bridge and Chrome Hardware.
