Here for sale we have an EVH Wolfgang Standard electric guitar in 3-colour sunburst. Made in Indonesia in 2022 this guitar features a Basswood body with Quilted Maple top, Baked Maple bolt-on neck and 22 Caramelized Maple fingerboard, Other appointments include aftermarket Schaller tremolo system and enclosed tuning machines. A pair of EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickups are fitted and wired to master volume and tone controls as well as a 3-way pickup selector.
The Baked Maple neck is carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen's exact specifications and features a Oiled finish on the back. The ‘Wolfgang Backshape’ profile is a thicker profile in comparison to the standard or modified ‘C’ shape filling the hand nicely for a smooth and articulate playing experience up and down the neck. Primed for high performance, energetic riffing and blazing leads, the 12"-16" compound radius Caramelized Maple fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets which assist with string bends and vibrato techniques, delivering a tailored playing experience in any position- offering a nice balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for quick lead lines. The unique body design provides uninhibited access to the upper register, ensuring a razor sharp playing experience in all registers.
Not all humbuckers are created equal, and the direct-mount passive Wolfgang humbuckers exemplify just that. They are seriously hot, and harness Eddie’s scorching signature lead tone that captivated the world of rock ‘n’ roll in the ‘70s and ‘80s. These pickups deliver rich harmonics, cutting highs and snarling mids in spades. The bridge pickup provides a fat and punchy sound which makes power chords sound gritty, whilst also 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 tone that handles distorted tones as well as it handles clean tones, making solo lines a scream through even the densest of mixes.
