Here for sale we have an EVH Wolfgang Special in Tobacco Sunburst finish. Made in China in 2012, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising a Basswood body with Quilted Maple Veneer top, Quartersawn Maple neck & 22 fret Birdseye Maple neck. Chrome hardware is fitted including an EVH branded Floyd Rose double locking tremolo system & EVH branded sealed tuning machines with Pearloid buttons. A pair of Custom Designed EVH passive humbucking pickups are installed, and are wired to a 3-way toggle switch, low friction master volume control & master tone control.
The Quartersawn Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the 'Wolfgang Backshape' profile filling the hand nicely, whilst the Satin Oil-finish provides a smooth and articulate playing experience up and down the neck. The Birdseye Maple fingerboard is pleasant to the touch, and with its 12"-16" compound radius delivering a tailored playing experience across the register; comfortable for chord playing in the lower frets and transitioning smoothly to a flatter, more lead-focussed specification in the higher register. The vintage-style frets keep things feeling traditional- refreshing on an instrument like this. The unique body design provides uninhibited access to the upper register, ensuring a razor sharp playing experience in all registers.
The Custom-Wound EVH humbuckers were produced to specifications, providing the player with thick, warm voicing, with a distinct top-end that is articulate and well-defined. The bridge pickup provides a fat and punchy sound, making power chords sound gritty and providing soaring lead tones with broad tonal dynamics. However, with subtler amp settings the bridge offers a bright, glassy clean tone making harmonics sing with a bell like tonality. The middle position provides bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. The neck pickup offers a smooth, warm & rounded sound that works equally well for clean tones as it does distorted ones. A seriously well-equipped instrument.
