From Our Research Team:

Play the Same Guitar Used by a Fretboard Legend!

The EVH Wolfgang solidbody electric guitar is built to deliver the goods on any stage; that should come as no surprise, given that the man behind this impressive axe not only designed it - he put it through its paces every night during Van Halen's last world tour! Built to Eddie Van Halen's exact specifications, the Wolfgang gives you absolutely awesome tone, practical playability and comfort, and the kind of stunning looks you'd expect from a world-class guitar. From its high-quality pickups, hardware, and controls to its gorgeous, top-notch tonewoods, the Wolfgang is made to rock in style!



EVH Wolfgang Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Road tested by EVH himself
  • Built to Eddie's exacting specifications
  • Quality throughout

Road tested by EVH himself
To say this guitar is "road tested" would definitely be an understatement! Wolfgang prototypes were put through a full year of brutal in-concert road testing by Eddie on Van Halen's triumphant 2007-2008 world tour. The result is a bulletproof and beautiful guitar that takes whatever you can dish out and then asks for more. As the VH tour roared along, Eddie changed and adjusted components and specs until he was satisfied with the Wolfgang's sound, feel and looks. To prove that it was battle-worthy and could survive the road, performance data was collected from every gig for months and months to establish and confirm consistency and durability.

Built to Eddie's exacting specifications
The EVH Wolfgang guitar is built to Eddie's exact specs and has every single feature of the Wolfgang guitars he himself plays onstage and in the studio. It's exactly what he uses. "Everything that I've built, destroyed, stumbled onto, learned and experienced is in this guitar," Eddie Van Halen said. "Every aspect and component of this guitar has been examined and upgraded to the highest standards possible-stainless steel frets, double-potted custom-wound pickups, five-piece binding on the matching body and headstock, custom-made signature tuning machines and Floyd Rose bridge, new low-friction pots, and the list keeps going. We left no stone unturned."

Quality throughout
From its basswood body and 1/2"-thick maple top to its quartersawn maple neck and beautiful birdseye maple fingerboard, the EVH Wolfgang just screams quality - and that's just the tonewoods! This gorgeous guitar is made for serious playing, with dual graphite reinforcement rods in the neck, a Floyd Rose #2 locking nut and EVH Floyd Rose trem (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. All the components come together to make a guitar that looks absolutely stunning and plays even better.

Just a great guitar

by Art Hall from Portland Oregon
January 4, 2010
Music Background: Hobbyist
I've had this guitar since June of 09. At that time I owned a Strat, tele, PRS ce22, and a Gibson L.P. , but was not really happy with any one of them. I still wanted a guitar that was above all of th... read more [+]ose. I ran accross the new wolfgang while on Sweetwater web site. I started reserching Eddie Van Halen and his guitar building knowledge. I was never a big Van Halen fan but knew of Eddie and his frankenstrat. I have since sold all my guitars except this new wolfgang and have
not had one regret. This is a great world class guitar, that will last a life time. It has great tone
and just fun to play, and looks awsome. close [-]

To all:
I have owned a quite a few guitars--Fender Strats were always my fave--A few PRS's (513, CE 24), very nice.

But then I bought the EVH Wolfgang, and I suppose it was the o... read more [+]ne I had been looking for! First off, mine is the maple capped Tobacco one. When I opened the case, I could not have been more pleased-absolutely perfect condition-I really don't know how EVH does it!Yes, it does cost 3 grand, but if it's a work of art, I guess thats how it goes in 2009.Eh! Well I soon plugged into my Rivera, and all my tones were there plus some!!
I just want you player' to know its a knockout!! close [-]

Amazing!!

The quality of this guitar is amazing. Some say this guitar is no better than the musicman axis. Well it is, because I have one of thse too. Being an EVH fan I'm sure makes some difference. But Ed was... read more [+] right about every aspect of this guitar being exceptional quality. The action is so low with absoultely no buzz anywhere! It is quite a bit of money, but it is worth it. And it is way better than the musicman or previous Wolfgangs. Finally they came out with something that the "man" himself plays that people can afford. My plan is to get one in every color. It may take me a while. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
