Wolfgang Guitar for Shredder
The EVH Wolfgang Standard Baked Maple Gold Sparkle offers the agile playing characteristics and hot rock tones of the Eddie van Halen designed Wolfgang guitar at a surprisingly attractive price. While the sleek basswood body impresses with an optimal balance, the oiled baked maple neck promises excellent handling from the lowest to the highest register. Two EVH Wolfgang humbuckers with straightforward circuitry provide a burning sound at the guitar amp that keeps its contour even at extreme Distortion. naturally EVH equips the Wolfgang Standard with a Floyd Rose Special for detune-free whammy bar acrobatics.
The EVH Wolfgang Standard Baked Maple Gold Sparkle convinces with extremely hot sounds and an extremely high playing comfort.
Electric guitar with first-class handling
Built in classic bolt-on construction with a 25.5" scale length, the Wolfgang Standard impresses with a lively sound and excellent playing characteristics thanks to Eddie van Halen's design specifications. The swingingly designed basswood body not only convinces with a stable playing position on the strap and on the thigh, but also allows unhindered access to the high registers of the bolt-on baked-maple neck thanks to the rounded neck foot and the large Cutaways. Combined with the silky oil finish and compound fingerboard radius (305mm to 406mm) that increases from 12" to 16", the slim "Wolfgang" neck profile also promises agile handling, so high-speed solos and riffs come off the hook with ease.
Wolfgang Humbucker
As pickup for the Wolfgang Standard guitar EVH chooses two Wolfgang humbuckers. Equipped with Alnico II magnets, the high-output pickups promise a powerful sound that presents every note with sharply defined contours even at maximum gain and convinces with a harmonic presentation of chords and single notes in the clean channel. For pickup control, the electric guitar offers a straightforward passive circuit with 3-way switch for pickup selection and general controls for Volume and Tone.
Floyd Rose Special Tremolo
Last but not least, EVH completes the Wolfgang Standard Baked Maple Gold Sparkle guitar with hardware optimally tailored to the needs of high-speed shredders. Accordingly, a Floyd Rose Special Tremolo with EVH branding is used as bridge, which convinces with an unshakable tuning stability even during frequent and heavy use of the Whammy Bar. On the compact headstock, EVH die-cast tuners also guarantee an exact tuning of the electric guitar.
Couldn’t be happier with the Wolfgang standard. Nothing needs to be upgraded, the pickups are exceptional, as good as my Duncan’s in other guitar. The fit and finish is perfect, the floyd is durable, the build is solid. I love the quilted top. The headstock looks a bit odd but the functionality of it is flawless. The neck is smooth and fast, like a fender but with a compound radius board which is a joy to play. I’ve barely put it down, I bought it as a decent backup to my main Strat but it is quite clearly becoming my number one, I just love playing it and it sounds perfect. The next model up is twice as much but comes with stainless steel frets and is built in a more costly factory. If I had the money for the higher end model I would be torn between buying that or two of the standard, genuinely it’s a gig ready tool which doesn’t look as fancy as some guitars but is far more playable than any I’ve tried.

My first professional guitar and i love it, feels great, sounds great, the bridge is floating a bit in E standard and sits in E flat, the jack socket is very tight and strong, it looks small but the neck is actually 1,5cm longer than my other guitar so a little bit hard to reach everything at the moment :)
My problems so far is when i opened the package the locking nut parts just fell off, maybe they were just shaken out during the delivery i dont know but miraculously they didn't scratch the guitar. I had a ground issue in my apartment and it seems the guitar bridge ground is disconnected from the jack and pickup switch. And there is an oil spill like dirty dot in the back of the neck which is a little bit annoying...
