EVH Wolfgang Special Striped, Black and Yellow

Full Description

Iconic striped design

The EVH Wolfgang Special Striped stands out with its instantly recognisable black and yellow striped finish. This iconic design pays tribute to Eddie Van Halen’s signature style. More than just a visual spectacle, the satin urethane finish adds a sleek, smooth touch, enhancing both comfort and durability. It's a guitar that demands attention, making it perfect if you're taking your playing to the stage.

Precision-tuned playability

Every detail of the EVH Wolfgang Special Striped is engineered for high-performance playability. The quartersawn maple neck is reinforced with graphite for enhanced stability, and its hand-rubbed satin urethane finish provides a smooth, natural feel. With a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard, you get the best of both worlds - effortless chording at the lower frets and blazing fast leads higher up. Twenty-two jumbo frets ensure ample space for intricate bends and shredding, while the heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel offers quick and easy neck relief tweaks.

Explosive tones and sustain

This guitar is a tone machine. Equipped with direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickups, it delivers a dynamic sound with plenty of clarity and sustain. The pickups are custom-designed for a perfect balance between power and precision, making it ideal for heavy rock riffs, searing solos, and clean melodic lines. Mounted directly to the body, they enhance the guitar’s resonance, ensuring your sound is bold and powerful in any setting.

Ultimate tuning stability

Stay perfectly in tune no matter how intense your performance gets. The EVH Wolfgang Special Striped features an EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo with the revolutionary EVH D-Tuna. This lets you switch between standard tuning and Drop-D with a simple flick of the D-Tuna. Combined with the Floyd Rose R2 locking nut and Gotoh tuning machines, your tuning remains rock-solid, even with aggressive whammy bar action. This guitar is a high-performance beast that keeps you in control, giving you complete dominance over your playing.
