Engineered for speed, comfort and full-throttle attitude, the reimagined 5150 Series Deluxe is an iconic blast from the past that blends both throwback and modernized features. Like its predecessor, the 5150 Deluxe Poplar Burl features a modified Strat-style basswood body with a deeper upper body curve. The graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable modified C profile, hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel and color matched hockey stick headstock with EVH logo decal. Built for smooth and speedy playability, the 12 -16 compound radius ebony fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays. While the famed striped original had a single humbucking bridge pickup only, the all-new 5150 Deluxe is outfitted with an HH pickup configuration controlled bya three-way toggle on the upper bout. The custom designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking bridge pickup delivers the perfect amount of punch and articulation with sweet sustain and thick chunky rhythms in a perfectly balanced EQ curve. The EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking neck pickup serves up nononsense, balls to the wall overdrive and endless sustain without skimping on articulate cleans when the volume is rolled down. A custom designed low friction volume knob creates even-volume tapering for the smoothest volume swells, while the high friction tone knob will stay in place even if accidentally bumped. An added new feature comes in the way of a lower bout kill switch, allowing you to mute your guitar for those stutter, rhythmic effects - think You Really Got Me. Decked out with a dive-bomb certified EVH-branded top-mount Floyd Rose bridge, the locking tailpiece features fine tuners for each string and a patented EVH D-Tuna for switching back and forth from drop-D to standard tuning in an instant. A stylized modern spin on a fan favorite, the 5150 Deluxe is sure to stun with a unique poplar burl top that is wrapped in Aqua Burst or Black Burst and finished off with all-chrome hardware, including the EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines. 25.5 scale length Modified Strat-style basswood body with deeper upper body curve Poplar burl top Graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck Neck is carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen's specifications with handrubbed satin urethane back finish 12 -16 compound radius ebony fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays Convenient heel-mount truss rod adjustment spoke wheel Direct mount EVH Wolfgang bridge and neck humbucking pickups Top-mount EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge and R3 locking nut EVH D-Tuna Three-way toggle switch, kill switch, volume control (500K EVH Bourns Low Friction Pot) with treble bleed circuit and tone control (250K EVH Bourns High Friction Pot) Available in Aqua Burst or Black Burst with color matched hockey stick headstock and all-chrome hardware, including the EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines Includes: 5150 Series Deluxe Poplar Burl Electric Guitar (Black Burst) - Tremolo Arm - Hex Keys - User Manual - EVH Lifetime Limited Warranty Features: 25.5 scale length Modified Strat-style basswood body with deeper upper body curve Poplar burl top Graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck Neck is carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen's specifications with handrubbed satin urethane back finish 12 -16 compound radius ebony fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays Convenient heel-mount truss rod adjustment spoke wheel Direct mount EVH Wolfgang bridge and neck humbucking pickups Top-mount EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge and R3 locking nut EVH D-Tuna Three-way toggle switch, kill switch, volume control (500K EVH Bourns Low Friction Pot) with treble bleed circuit and tone control (250K EVH Bourns High Friction Pot) Available in Aqua Burst or Black Burst with color matched hockey stick headstock and all-chrome hardware, including the EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines Specifications: Color: Black Burst Model / Series: EVH 5150 Deluxe Orientation: Right-Handed Number of Strings: 6 Body Type: Solidbody Body Shape: Doublecut Body Material: Basswood Guitar Finish: Gloss Neck Material: Maple Neck Construction: Bolt-On Neck Finish: Hand-Rubbed Satin Urethane Neck Shape: EVH Modified C Backshape Scale Length: 25.5 (648mm) Fingerboard Material: Ebony Fretboard Fingerboard Radius: 12 -16 Compound Radius (304.8 mm to 406.4 mm) Number of Frets: 22 Nut Material: Floyd Rose R3 Locking Nut Width: 1.685 (42.8 mm) Position Inlays: Cream Dot Truss Rod Wrench: 2.5mm Hex Bridge Type: Top-Mount EVH-Branded Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo with EVH D-Tuna Hardware Finish: Chrome Tuning Machines: EVH-Branded Gotoh Pickguard: No Control Knobs: Black Knurled with White Indicator Switch Tip: Black Neck Plate: 4-Bolt Standard Bridge Pickup: Direct Mount EVH Wolfgang Humbucking Neck Pickup: Direct Mount EVH Wolfgang Humbucking Controls: Volume (500K EVH Bourns Low Friction Pot) with Treble Bleed Circuit, Tone (250K EVH Bourns High Friction Pot) Pickup Switching: 3-Position Toggle: Position 1.
