Wolfgang humbucker and special pots
The electrical tone conversion of the Wolfang Special QM is handled by two EVH Wolfgang humbuckers personally designed by Eddie van Halen. With their hot Output and balanced output across all frequencies, these pickups deliver a fat rock sound that makes every solo sing with endless Sustain, at the same time the precise Attack and perfect string separation provide a tight rhythm sound. The pickup is controlled by a 3-way toggle switch as well as general volume and tone controls that have different rotary resistances. Thus, the particularly smooth volume pot allows violin-like sound fade-ins, while the more sluggish tone pot is immune to unwanted adjustments.
Compact basswood body meets maple neck
For the construction of the Wolfgang Special QM Caramelized Maple, Eddie van Halen relies on tried-and-true ingredients for a rock guitar, having the body made of basswood with an applied top of cloud maple, while the bolt-on neck is made of caramelized maple and carries a 22-fret Caramelized Maple fingerboard. The combination of the compact, sweeping body, the comfortable neck profile and the compound radius of the fingerboard, which increases from 12" to 16", gives the EVH Wolfgang a comfortable feel that makes any solo, no matter how tricky, come out of your fingers with ease.
Floyd Rose with EVH D-Tuna
In addition, the Wolfgang Special QM Caramelized Maple Purple Burst is equipped with a gold-look Floyd Rose Tremolo that ensures perfect tuning stability even on the most aggressive dive bombs and squeals. The EVH D-Tuna on the low E-string allows a lightning-fast change to dop tunings without having to adjust the Vibrato inconveniently. At the characteristic headstock sit furthermore precise die-cast tuners.
The tuners at the head end of the caramelized maple fingerboard also have a matching gold finish
