EVH SA-126 Special, Stealth Black Overview
The EVH SA-126 Special is Wolfgang Van Halen's bold reimagining of what a guitar can be for the discerning player of the 21st century. Seamlessly merging the resonant qualities of a semi-hollow body with the steadfast durability of a solid body, this guitar is designed to excel in versatility. Co-created with Fender's Tim Shaw and the EVH team, the custom SA-126 pickups provide a sonic palette that ranges from the pristine clarity of clean tones to the all-consuming roar of high-gain settings, ensuring that no genre is beyond reach.
With its tasteful combination of aesthetics and functionality, the SA-126 Special not only sounds exceptional but also feels intuitively familiar to the hands of the musician. The chambered mahogany body, adorned with a basswood centerblock and exquisite finish options, provides a warm tonal base while the graphite-reinforced mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with a compound radius ensure playability for all styles. It's a modern classic, with a flair for performance and a nod to tradition, making it a sublime choice for guitarists looking to make a powerful statement on stage and in the studio.
