This great new model designed by Wolfgang VH just came in and these are actual photos of the one you will get. This one carries the serial number SA1262500114 and weighs in at 8 pounds, 8.51 ounces. 

In Summer 2025, we will once again challenge the “norm” with the introduction of the SA-126 Standard.

SA-126 is the very definition of innovation incarnate. It’s a hybrid between semi-hollow and solid body guitar: think chambered/center block solid body blended with a bolt-on neck, then kitted out with features most frequently associated with high performance guitar brands such as a slim neck, jumbo frets and higher output pickups. The brain child of Wolfgang Van Halen, the instrument was created with versatility in mind, striking the perfect balance between pummeling rhythm tones and lightning-fast lead runs.

Here is a quick look at the features.

The all-new SA-126 Standard features a Mahogany body that is chambered, with a Mahogany Centerblock added for stability and tone. Capped with a maple top and masked off natural body binding for a classic and clean look. The neck is a 22 fret 12”-16” compound Rosewood fingerboard with jumbo frets and re-imagined block inlays on a graphite reinforced baked maple neck. With a scale length of 24 and three quarters… this feels like a modern - classic that is familiar and comfortable. Finally, a spoke wheel truss rod adjustment at the butt end of the neck for easy adjustments, on the fly.

The EVH SA-126 bridge and neck pickups created by Fender’s resident pickup designer Tim Shaw and the EVH team, they can handle just about anything you feed them. From the elegant sound of cascading-glassy cleans to a heavy bath of Overdrive to “Burn” that will satisfy the most discerning gainiac. Three-way toggle at the upper horn to switch between bridge, bridge and neck, and neck pickups as well as two volumes and two tones to control each. Other features include an EVH® T.O.M bridge and stop bar tailpiece, oversized strap buttons, and keystone tuning pegs.

The SA-126 Standard comes in 4 finishes. Piano Black and Satin White with black hardware, Pelham Green with chrome hardware and Transparent Wine Red w/ Gold Hardware.
