Full Description
View Full DescriptionHot riffs on a baked maple neck and fretboard
Meeting the specifications of the man himself, this maple neck has been milled, rolled and shaped to give you a powerful riff platform. Blazing fast leads and manic melodies or all possible on this neck and board, it's carved into a compound radius so that your chords are effortless near the nut and your string bends are seamless higher up. And for record setting speeds, the neck has been hand-rubbed for a satin finish that's smoother than silk and lets you freely fire around the registers.
Because it's designed for fearless, energetic shredding, EVH know it needs to be able to stand up to your most vigorous performances. So that's why this neck is made from quartersawn maple, a premium milling technique that allows the wood grain to run the length of the neck, resulting in amazing durability. A long with graphite reinforcement rods, this neck is going to shrug off warping, splitting or shrinking. It's going to be your companion for countless gigs.
Humbuckers to make you happy
Glorious, brazen and full-throttle. These pickups deliver the tones you desire. Super punchy and tight, they're precisely balanced to give you a mix of fiery output and clearer textures. Built using alnico II magnets they've got enough firepower for riotous distortion but can also shine through subtle cleans. Any style or genre, you'll succeed with these pickups.
The bridge is tuned for unrestrained high output distortion. Boosting your sound with presence and an endless sustain, it'll pierce straight through any mix. For added versatility you can roll back the volume to let the delicate cleans flow. If you want some thick chunky rhythms flick over to the neck pickup, it's a rich and rounded voice perfect for making leads fatter and chords more detailed.
EVH electronics
Total control. The electronics are special. Inspired by the style of Van Halen, they afford you precise management of your sound. The custom designed low friction volume knob creates even tapering for smooth adjustment. This ensures you'll get even volume swells with each turn, ensuring no sudden spike between settings. A high friction tone knob will stay firmly in place even if you accidentally hit it - ensuring your output is always on point.
Floyd Rose fantasy
It's your secret weapon. A Floyd Rose locking tremolo provides the sonic flair you need to amaze your audience. One of the highest quality tremolos you can find, it will enable you to push your whammy antics to the extreme without your tuning slipping. But this is an EVH Floyd Rose, and so you get the added extra of the ingenious D-tuna. This lever lets you switch in and out of drop D tuning in an instant. Send your tone subterranean and perform daring divebombs all with one bridge.
