An Arena-ready Axe with EVH-worthy Performance

We could give you 5,150 reasons why the EVH Wolfgang Special is an outstanding solidbody electric guitar. But if you really want to be convinced of the WG Special's worth, pick one up right now. Trust us, when you get your hands on it, you won't want to put it down. This high-performance axe starts with a purebred basswood body that's the perfect conduit for its tone-infused, ready-to-rock EVH Wolfgang humbuckers. The WG Special's maple neck offers a just-right feel, while its compound-radius ebony fingerboard ensures a lightning-fast playability that's downright addictive. You also get an EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special tremolo — a must-have piece of hardware for stadium-worthy hard rock. Black knurled control knobs and a sleek satin urethane finish top off the Wolfgang Special.

The consummate performance-centric electric guitar

If you're searching for the perfect platform for your fretboard wizardry, you're in the right place. The Wolfgang Special is the axe of your dreams. The WG Special exhibits a growling, mid-forward acoustic tone centered around a solid basswood body with enough definition to cut through a hard-rocking band. Beyond that, the WG Special features a bolt-on maple neck with a nice, oiled feel and a fast-playing compound-radius 22-fret fingerboard.

Scorching-hot, direct-mount EVH Wolfgang pickups

The EVH Wolfgang Special comes equipped with direct-mount Wolfgang humbuckers. These scorching-hot pickups offer a first-class ticket to Edward Van Halen's elusive tone. We'll give you fair warning: plug this solidbody electric guitar into your high-gain amplifier of choice, and you'll be bowled over with singing highs, snarling mids, and fat lows — a.k.a., the legendary brown sound — with all the amp-punishing output you can handle. The WG Special includes a volume knob with a treble-bleed circuit to maintain shimmering highs at low settings, plus a tone knob and a 3-way pickup toggle switch.

Rock-solid EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special tremolo

No self-respecting EVH disciple can resist King Edward's trademark squeals and dive-bombs. Accordingly, the Wolfgang Special is set to stun with an EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo. Whether you give it a slight nudge for a subtle vibrato or abuse it for full-blown pitch pyrotechnics, you'll experience the same response and tuning stability that you'd expect from a Floyd Rose. On top of that, you can easily switch to Drop D tuning, courtesy of the WG Special's D-Tuna. We've subjected the WG Special to a fair share of aggressive treatment here at Sweetwater, and it hit the ground runnin' — it's rock solid all the way.

Sweet guitar

I love it the one I sent back cuz of a few reasons had a small crack in finish at neck pocket and the D-tuna did not work I had to set it up to work. I could have set it up but I was sending back cuz of satin finish and neck crack. But it is a sweet guitar I wish I could have bought a usa just did not have the $$ I thought it had stainless steel frets but they are nickle. Still not worth an extra 2k for the frets and a kill switch. The sound is frigging great you will not be sorry for that at all
