EVH Limited Edition Star, Ebony Fingerboard, Primer Gray

Full Description

Iconic Van Halen-inspired design

The EVH Limited Edition Star pays tribute to one of Eddie Van Halen’s most distinctive early instruments, capturing that raw, rebellious energy with a bold offset body shape and minimalist aesthetic. Finished in a sleek Primer Gray matte, this guitar exudes stage-ready attitude while staying true to the essence of EVH’s legendary DIY guitar builds. The unique Star body isn’t just visually striking—it’s also contoured for comfort and balance, making it just as practical to wield on stage as it is cool to look at. If you're after an instrument that stands out both visually and sonically, the EVH Star delivers undeniable character.

Powerful single-humbucker configuration

At the heart of this guitar’s tone is a single EVH Wolfgang humbucker in the bridge position, chosen for its ability to produce rich harmonics, tight lows, and biting high-end clarity. This stripped-down configuration keeps things simple and focused, letting you dial in searing lead tones or chunky rhythm crunch without distraction. Paired with a 500k EVH Bourns low-friction pot and treble bleed circuit, the volume control preserves your tone even as you roll it back, ensuring consistent clarity and punch. The Wolfgang pickup is voiced to meet Eddie’s exacting standards, making it ideal for everything from vintage-inspired rock to modern high-gain riffage.

Fast-playing neck and premium feel

Speed and comfort are front and centre thanks to the EVH Star’s quartersawn maple neck and ebony fingerboard. The compound-radius fingerboard flattens out as you move up the neck, making it great for quick solos and wide bends without fretting out. The 22 jumbo frets, along with cream dot inlays and smooth hand-rubbed satin urethane finish, offer a luxurious and effortless playing experience. The heel-mounted spoke wheel truss rod adjustment makes setup tweaks a breeze, so you can fine-tune your action and neck relief without removing the neck or pickguard. This is a neck built for slick performance and total confidence under your fingers.

Floyd Rose with D-Tuna and kill switch

Equipped with an EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo system, this guitar is made for dive bombs, flutters, and rock-solid tuning stability. A brass tremolo block enhances sustain and tonal depth, while the D-Tuna system gives you instant access to Drop D tuning—perfect when you want to shift tunings mid-song or experiment with heavier riffs. On top of that, the momentary kill switch lets you fire off stutter effects, adding a percussive, rhythmic edge to your playing. These expressive tools give you the edge for bold stagecraft and innovative sound design.
