Description

EVH Wolfgang Standard QM Electric Guitar

The EVH Wolfgang WG Standard QM boasts the same style and massive sound that Eddie Van Halen created. And all at a price the everyday musician can afford!

Offering many of the blazing features as its more expensive brethren, this axe features a basswood body. Plus, it offers a special “comfort cut” forearm contour for maximum playing ease, along with attractive masked-off natural body binding and an elegant quilt maple top. Its bolt-on baked maple neck with graphite-reinforcement rods holds strong against the ravages of temperature and humidity. Plus, a conveniently located spoke wheel at the base of the neck makes for quick and painless truss rod adjustments.

Designed for comfortable playability and speed, the Wolfgang WG Standard also features a smooth oiled finish on the back of the neck. You’ll love the playability of the compound radius baked maple fingerboard. With its rolled edges, 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays, this neck feels awesome.

Dual EVH® Wolfgang humbucking pickups mounted directly to the body increase vibration transfer, resulting in sustain for days on end. Van Halen’s exacting specifications have been dialled in on the The black knurled tone and volume control knobs. The smooth-feeling 500k pots make it easy to find a unique sound while retaining the crisp high-end sparkle of the Wolfgang pickups. The EVH-branded Floyd Rose® Special bridge and R2 locking nut consistently keep the instrument in tune through the deepest whammy dives and horse whinnies.

Tested live onstage where it counts, the Wolfgang WG Standard QM is decked out for playing performance and comfort. This beauty is available in an array of stage-stealing new finishes, featuring black headstocks and black chrome hardware.

BASSWOOD WOLFGANG BODY WITH SPECIAL “COMFORT CUT” FOREARM CONTOUR AND QUILT MAPLE TOP

Featuring an offset shape with larger upper horn, the Wolfgang’s basswood provides excellent tonal response that is full and rich with distinguished warmth and sustain, while the quilt maple top adds snap and clarity to the guitar’s attack, plus a stylish wavy appearance. Engineered to provide maximum playing pleasure, the special “comfort cut” forearm contour won’t hinder your tone.

BOLT-ON BAKED MAPLE NECK WITH EDDIE VAN HALEN’S UNIQUE WOLFGANG BACKSHAPE

Bolt-on is a type of neck construction that joins the maple neck to the body of the guitar with screws or bolts. This provides bright tone with more control, which is exactly what Eddie’s tone is all about. Baking the wood also increases durability, so it creates an incredibly stable surface that can hold up to environmental changes. Graphite-reinforcement rods flank the truss rod for even more increased neck stability. Also, your fretting hand will feel right at home on this unique Wolfgang neck, which has a .790” thickness at the 3rd fret and .880” at the 12th fret.

DIRECT MOUNT EVH WOLFGANG HUMBUCKING PICKUPS

Not all humbuckers are created equal. Direct mount EVH Wolfgang humbuckers with Alnico 2 magnets are hotter! They 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.

TAPED-OFF FAUX NATURAL BODY BINDING

Wolfgang Standard QM models all have taped-off faux natural body binding for a distinct and distinguished style.
