EVH Striped Series Circles Satin Finish Overview
The EVH LTD ED Striped Series Circles Satin Finish with Gig Bag is a guitar that pays homage to the heritage of EVH's outlandish guitar design whilst updating it for modern audiences. Its black-and-white "crop circles" graphic gloss finish is truly out of this world and makes it one of the most visually striking guitars in the Striped Series lineup. But don't be fooled by its otherworldly appearance, this guitar is all about high-performance tone.
Featuring a basswood Stratocaster-style body, the LTD ED Striped Series Circles Satin Finish strips back everything and leaves only what EVH famously used on his guitars. A single Wolfgang pickup delivers the signature tone of early EVH, an unmistakably high-output rock and roll pickup. Hitting those high squeals can be made effortlessly with an EVH-branded Floyd Rose and R3 locking nut for maximum stability, even when used and abused. Get unchained and down tune to D in just a flick of the D-Tuna, meaning you don't need a second guitar on the road to access the lower-tuned riffs in your live set.
Moving to the neck, it boasts a graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck with a hand-rubbed oil finish on the back, providing superior playability and comfort. The 12"-16" maple fingerboard is equipped with 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays, making it a joy to play. To top it all off, this exceptional guitar comes with an EVH Striped Series gig bag, ensuring that you can take your instrument with you wherever you go.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionBolt-On quartersawn maple neck with Eddie Van Halen'S modified "C" backshape
The EVH LTD ED Striped Series Circles Satin Finish with Gig Bag features a bolt-on quartersawn maple neck. This construction method uses screws or bolts to join the neck and body of the guitar, resulting in a bright tone with enhanced control. The quartersawn grain running along the length of the neck not only provides visual appeal but also increases its durability, making it less prone to shrinking, warping, or splitting. To ensure maximum stability, the neck is reinforced with graphite rods alongside the truss rod. Your fretting hand will feel right at home on the modified "C" shape neck, which has a .790" thickness at the 3rd fret and .825" at the 12th fret.
12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets
The EVH LTD ED Striped Series Circles Satin Finish guitar boasts an innovative 12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard. This unique design gradually flattens as it approaches the heel from a smaller and more rounded profile at the nut. The result is unparalleled comfort when playing chords and riffs near the nut, while also providing seamless bending near the heel. With a 22-fret layout, the neck pickup is positioned at the "sweet spot," resulting in an overall warmer tone. Additionally, the jumbo fret wire slightly increases the distance between the strings and fingerboard, allowing for seamless and comfortable bends.
Wolfgang humbucking pickup
One of the standout features of the EVH LTD ED Striped Series Circles Satin Finish guitar is the Wolfgang humbucking pickup. Designed in collaboration with Eddie Van Halen, this pickup delivers the scorching signature lead tone that captivated the world of rock 'n' roll in the '70s and '80s. The direct mount EVH Wolfgang humbuckers feature Alnico 2 magnets, producing hotter output and rich harmonics. These pickups excel at delivering cutting highs, snarling mids, and a dynamic range of tones to suit any playing style.
EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking trem, R3 locking nut, and D-Tuna
The EVH LTD ED Striped Series Circles Satin Finish guitar also includes the iconic EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo system. Eddie Van Halen was instrumental in popularising this innovative design, even offering advice during its early development. The EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge carries the EVH logo on its bridge plate, steel saddles, and solid brass block. Paired with the R3 (43 mm) locking nut, this double-locking system ensures unparalleled tuning stability and dynamic tremolo action. Furthermore, the EVH D-Tuna, a unique patented device, allows players to instantly switch between drop-D tuning and standard E tuning, making it incredibly versatile for a wide range of musical styles.
