EVH Limited Edition Star T.O.M, Ebony Fingerboard, Stealth Black

Full Description

Modern tone with classic Van Halen attitude

The EVH Limited Edition Star T.O.M is a modern tribute to one of Eddie Van Halen’s most iconic early guitars. With its sharp-edged body shape and sleek Stealth Black finish, it captures the rebellious spirit of Van Halen’s explosive rise. But this isn’t just a visual homage—it’s built to scream with tone. A single EVH Wolfgang humbucker delivers the high-output crunch, clarity and harmonic richness that defined Eddie’s signature sound. This pickup is perfectly voiced for tight palm mutes, searing leads and articulate chord work, giving you all the bite and punch needed to cut through the mix. From chugging rhythm parts to ripping solos, this guitar brings the fire of a rock icon straight to your hands.

Effortless playability for high-speed performance

Built with shredders in mind, the Star features a one-piece quartersawn maple neck bolted onto the body with four sturdy bolts for maximum stability. The EVH Modified “C” neck shape feels familiar and fast, and the hand-rubbed satin urethane finish ensures a smooth, non-sticky feel. The 12”–16” compound-radius ebony fingerboard makes fast runs and big bends feel natural, offering a flatter surface for lead work higher up the neck while retaining comfort for chord work near the nut. Cream dot inlays and side markers keep things visually clean while ensuring you stay locked in during your set. This is a guitar designed to play hard and fast.

Precision hardware built for sustain and stability

A Tune-O-Matic bridge and stoptail anchor the EVH Star, offering rock-solid tuning stability and rich sustain. This classic setup ensures direct string-to-body contact, enhancing resonance and allowing every note to ring with clarity. Paired with the Wolfgang pickup, it delivers articulate, full-bodied tone ideal for heavy riffs and expressive leads. Oversized strap buttons and EVH-branded Gotoh tuners add to the reliability, keeping your instrument secure and in tune through every performance. With hardware built to endure, you can hit the stage or studio with total confidence in your gear.

Creative control with intuitive electronics

Though visually minimal, the EVH Star T.O.M is equipped with clever performance tools. The single volume knob features a 500K EVH Bourns low-friction pot with a treble bleed circuit, maintaining top-end sparkle when rolling back the volume. This allows you to adjust your tone on the fly without sacrificing clarity. A momentary kill switch sits close at hand, perfect for creating percussive stutter effects and dramatic cuts that add flair to your playing. It’s this mix of simplicity and versatility that makes the Star a powerhouse that'll give you total control.
