From its basswood body and eye-catching veneer maple top to its quartersawn maple neck and beautiful birdseye maple fingerboard, the EVH Wolfgang Special just screams quality - and that's just the tonewoods! This gorgeous guitar is made for serious playing, with a compound-radius fingerboard (12-16") for chording to shredding comfort, a Floyd Rose locking tremolo systemand (complete with D-Tuna), and hard-mounted EVH humbuckers. The controls are top-notch, too: you get a handy 3-way pickup selector switch and Bourns low-friction volume and tone pots for total control over your tone and volume.

Best customer service Ive ever encountered. My guitar arrived ahead of the date it was supposed to, in flawless condition. Played well right out of the box. I will be buying all of my gear from you, from here on out. You made me feel like I was ordering a custom guitar, just for me. I was treated like a valuable customer.

The Special Rocks

I have been a Van Halen fan for years so when the wolfgang came out I wanted one. The price tag just couldn't work for me. The special came out and I researched it and researched it . I saw it here at... read more [+] Sweetwater and how the pictures of the actual guitar were displayed and the care they took in the service. I was helped every step of the way by the staff and when the guitar arrived I was blown away. I have been playing for 26 years and I can honestly say this guitar is straight hard core rock through and through. Wolfgang special and sweetwater unbeatable. close [-]

I recently bought this guitar from Guitar Center and am blown away with it. It's by far the best thing I've ever bought (and the most expensive too). When I got it, I immediately opened it up, (It was... read more [+] very well packaged) and took it out of the box. The first I noticed while playing it was the outstanding Van Halen tone of the guitar. The humbuckers just nail the tone, they're my favorite pickups I've ever played. Next, the neck is crazy smooth. It's oiled with some kind of natural oil which is smoother than any man-made oil out there. Another great feature on this guitar is the Bourns low friction pots. They are extremely easy to turn. This guitar also has a EVH signature Floyd Rose tremolo bridge. It's the first signature Floyd on the market. But it's basically an original Floyd with a D-Tuna and the EVH logo. Besides these flawless features it also comes with an SKB case that's nearly better than the guitar. The inside of the case is custom-molded red plush fabric with a big storage compartment. A cool thing about the case is that it can be close with the tremolo bar attached. close [-]
