Humbuckers to make you happy

Glorious, brazen and full-throttle. These pickups deliver the tones you desire. Super punchy and tight, they're precisely balanced to give you a mix of fiery output and clearer textures. Built using alnico II magnets they've got enough firepower for riotous distortion but can also shine through subtle cleans. Any style or genre, you'll succeed with these pickups.

The bridge is tuned for unrestrained high output distortion. Boosting your sound with presence and an endless sustain, it'll pierce straight through any mix. For added versatility you can roll back the volume to let the delicate cleans flow. If you want some thick chunky rhythms flick over to the neck pickup, it's a rich and rounded voice perfect for making leads fatter and chords more detailed.

EVH electronics

Total control. The electronics are special. Inspired by the style of Van Halen, they afford you precise management of your sound. The custom designed low friction volume knob creates even tapering for smooth adjustment. This ensures you'll get even volume swells with each turn, ensuring no sudden spike between settings. A high friction tone knob will stay firmly in place even if you accidentally hit it - ensuring your output is always on point. And for even more audio spice, there's a kill switch for instant muting. Use this to create a stuttering cadence or switch off your sound entirely for those quiet moments.

Maple and ebony magic

This is a neck and fretboard built for speed. Hold on tight because your riffs are about to go supersonic. Using a premium quartersawn piece of maple, you'll not only get unreal performance from this but also top-class durability. Featuring a hand rubbed satin urethane finish and profiled into a modern "C" shape, it's heavenly to hold. Your hand will fire around the registers thanks to the slick hand-rubbed satin finish. And playing for long periods is a breeze as this "C" profile reduces fatigue. Take your playing further.

Meanwhile the quartersawn milling provides a tight wood grain that's resistant to warping and damage. Great news for frequent performers! This is a guitar for thrills that never stop. Not only will you enjoy robust construction and rapid responsiveness, but the 22 jumbo sized frets teamed with the compound radius allow you ample room to string bend without fretting out. Don't hold back as this neck and fretboard is ready to bring out your best.

Floyd Rose fantasy

It's your secret weapon. A Floyd Rose locking tremolo provides the sonic flair you need to amaze your audience. One of the highest quality tremolos you can find, it will enable you to push your whammy antics to the extreme without your tuning slipping. But this is an EVH Floyd Rose, and so you get the added extra of the ingenious D-tuna. This lever lets you switch in and out of drop D tuning in an instant. Send your tone subterranean and perform daring divebombs all with one bridge.
