Description

Road-tested in arenas around the world, the EVH Wolfgang Special QM electric guitar is a purebred music-making machine — designed with stunning style, giant sound and high-speed playability!

The Wolfgang Special QM features a balanced Basswood body with an arched quilted Maple top and a robust graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn baked Maple neck. The neck is carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen's exacting specifications and features a hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish. Primed for high performance, energetic riffing and blazing leads, the 12"-16" compound radius baked Maple fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays. Truss rod adjustments have also never been easier thanks to a spoke wheel conveniently located at the base of the neck.

A pair of flagship custom-designed black EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking pickups are mounted directly to the body, providing dynamic yet articulate voicing, as well as endless sustain for powerful chords and melody lines. A sturdy and dependable EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking trem and locking nut work in tandem for precise tuning even with extreme changes in pitch, while the EVH D-Tuna retunes to drop-D and back with strict accuracy at the flick of a finger. The volume knob with treble bleed circuit has a 500K EVH Bourns low-friction pot for smooth swells and a tone control knob with a 250K Bourns high-friction tone pot that prevents accidental tone shifting.

More info about this Product

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.
