EVH Wolfgang Special QM, Sangria

Full Description

Play anything from complex chords to shredding solos

Equipped with flagship custom-designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking pickups, the Wolfgang Special delivers dynamic and articulate sounds. These electronics are mounted directly to the body, allowing for enhanced resonance and sustain. From powerful chords to intricate melody lines, these humbuckers provide exceptional clarity and expression.

But for those who want to customise the output, the Wolfgang comes equipped with a volume that features a treble bleed circuit and a 500K EVH Bourns low friction pot, allowing for smooth swells and seamless transitions in your playing dynamics. This is complemented by the tone control, which utilises a 250K high friction to prevent accidental shifting, ensuring your desired sound stays in place. Discover your unique voicing.

Playability that is truly a dream

A true powerhouse when it comes to music-making, designed specifically for high-speed playability and stage performance. Its basswood body provides a solid foundation for high-performances while also delivering excellent sound quality. Additionally, it boasts a stunning arched quilt maple top that not only looks great but also adds to the overall tone and resonance of the instrument. What's more, the bolt-on quartersawn baked maple neck, which is reinforced with graphite for added stability and durability, makes it ideal for players who demand the very best from their instruments.

Carved and rolled to Van Halen's precise specifications, the neck boasts a hand-rubbed satin urethane finish for a smooth and comfortable playing experience. Additionally, the 12"-16" compound radius baked maple fingerboard provides easy navigation across all twenty-two jumbo frets. The black dot inlays give the fingerboard a classic look that will never go out of style. Another key advantage is the spoke wheel located at the base of the neck, which makes truss rod adjustments a breeze.

Precision tremolo system

Rock-solid tuning stability even during the most aggressive dive bombs and whammy bar acrobatics. Combined with the Floyd Rose locking nut, this tremolo system ensures that your guitar stays in tune no matter how extreme your pitch changes are. Its EVH D-Tuna allows for instant drop-D tuning and back with unparalleled accuracy. With this tremolo system, you can confidently explore a wide range of expressive techniques without sacrificing stability and tuning. The EVH Wolfgang Special delivers stunning style and giant sound that will inspire creativity and elevate your playing experience.
