The EVH SA-126 Special in Platinum Pearl Metallic is Wolfgang Van Halen’s bold vision of what a modern guitar should be. Blending semi hollow character with solid body punch, it delivers everything from articulate cleans to crushing high gain, all in a sleek, contemporary single cut package that feels instantly familiar under the fingers.

At its heart is a chambered mahogany body with a basswood centre block, paired with a bolt on, graphite reinforced mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard. Add in the custom EVH SA-126 humbuckers, a fast compound radius and rock solid hardware, and you get a guitar that is equally at home laying down pummelling rhythm parts or ripping through fluid, high speed leads.

The 24.75 inch scale and EVH Modified C neck carve give a comfortable, slightly vintage feel, while the 12 to 16 inch compound radius and jumbo frets keep things ultra playable for modern techniques. With independent volume and tone controls for each pickup and a three way toggle on the upper horn, you have instant access to a huge range of tones, from glassy cleans to saturated roar.

Finished in striking Platinum Pearl Metallic with elegant binding and gold hardware, the SA-126 Special looks every bit as refined as it sounds. It is a true workhorse for players who need versatility, stability and performance in a single, stage ready instrument.

Hybrid Semi Hollow Design

The SA-126’s chambered mahogany body with basswood centre block gives you the resonance and air of a semi hollow guitar, combined with the focus and feedback resistance of a solid body. You get a lively, open response for cleans and edge of break up tones, while still being able to push serious gain without losing clarity or control.

Fast, Comfortable EVH Neck

A two piece mahogany neck with EVH Modified C backshape, 12 to 16 inch compound radius ebony fingerboard and jumbo frets delivers a slick, modern playing experience. Chords feel natural at the lower end of the neck, while bends, legato and fast runs up high stay clean and choke free, making this a superb all rounder for rock, metal and beyond.

EVH SA-126 Humbucking Pickups

Designed by Tim Shaw and the EVH team, the direct mount SA-126 humbuckers are voiced for maximum versatility. They move effortlessly from shimmering, cascading cleans to thick, harmonically rich overdrive, with enough output to satisfy high gain players while still retaining note definition and dynamic response.

Player Focused Hardware and Controls

A secured EVH Harmonica bridge with stoptail piece, oversized strap buttons and EVH Keystone tuners provide solid tuning stability and dependable performance. The heel mounted spoke wheel truss rod adjustment makes neck tweaks quick and easy, while the three way toggle and twin volume and tone layout give you intuitive control over a wide palette of sounds.

Key Features

  • Chambered Mahogany Body with Basswood Centre Block – The combination of chambered mahogany and a solid centre block delivers a resonant, airy tone with excellent sustain and feedback control.

  • EVH Modified C Neck with Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard – The comfortable EVH Modified C carve and 12 to 16 inch compound radius make the neck feel fast and effortless. Chord work, big bends and intricate lead lines all feel natural, helping you play longer with less fatigue.

Electric Guitars

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.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
