Hard-hitting Tone, Ample Playability, and Exotic Looks

The EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic Laurel Burl was designed for one thing: hard-hitting rock ’n’ roll. Built to Eddie Van Halen’s exacting standards, this axe exhibits the ferocious tone and effortless playability that players of his caliber demand. Beyond that, its eye-catching laurel burl top ensures that all eyes will be on you every time you step on stage. Enjoy a distinctive woody character and ample sustain, thanks to dual direct-mounted EVH Wolfgang humbuckers. Benefit from maximum stability and resistance to temperature and humidity, by virtue of a graphite-reinforced, bolt-on baked maple neck. An EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special tremolo and locking nut maintain intonation — even after extreme whammy bar abuse. The EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic Laurel Burl is the high-performance hard rock machine you’ve been waiting for.

A rock machine that's built for serious fretwork

At Sweetwater, we've been consistently impressed by EVH guitars, and the Wolfgang Standard Exotic Laurel Burl is no exception. From its basswood body to its baked maple neck and fingerboard, this guitar just screams quality. This amazing guitar is made for serious playing, with a compound-radius fingerboard, an EVH Floyd Rose bridge and locking nut, and direct-mounted EVH humbuckers. You also get two domed black knobs for total control over your tone and volume and ultra-stable EVH tuners. All the components come together to make a high-performance electric guitar.

Graphite-reinforced neck for stability and playability

The neck is one of the most important aspects of any instrument, which is why this EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic Laurel Burl's bolt-on neck is reinforced with graphite, offering amazing stability. You'll also love the playability and feel of the compound-radius fretboard on this Wolfgang WG Standard. The fretboard radius goes from 12 inches at the nut to a comfortable and flat 16" radius on the upper frets.

Floyd Rose tremolo allows for twisting, bending, and huge dive-bombs

First gaining popularity in the 1980s, the Floyd Rose tremolo's locking design keeps your guitar in tune — even if you like to perform extreme pitch pyrotechnics. You can force the whammy bar all the way down to the guitar's body for psychotic dive-bombing. No matter how hard you're shredding, you'll maintain your tuning stability, thanks to the Floyd Rose tremolo's locking design.

  • Designed by rock legend Eddie Van Halen
  • Laurel burl top offers an eye-catching appearance

Winner from top to bottom

This is such a great guitar. Not my first EVH guitar and certainly will not be my last. The pictures are great but in person it's a wow. Plays great, to me much more comfortable than the special . Plug in and you have your EVH sound, very hard to put down. Came well packed as always from Sweetwater, had to do a few minor tweaks to the string height and off I went. 5 star experience from Aaron and the Sweetwater team from start to finish. Give one a try you will be pleased.

Beautiful Guitar, bad Floyd Rose

I am a huge EVH fan, have 7 other EVH guitars , this guitar came in amazing shape, and looks beautiful. if it was a non Floyd Rose bridge guitar would be great. this guitar will not stay in tune and has a very poor quality Tremolo. a shame that a product cannot be up to standards. I completely understand you get what you pay for but figure out how the guitar will stay in tune if you put a Floyd rose on the guitar. after months of trying to tweak it have just put in a case and in my guitar closet. a shame and would say if you want an EVH guitar save the money and buy the more expensive ones and get a better trem system
Rated 1.5/5

Not up to EVH Guitar Standards

I have had this guitar for 8 months now and will share the good and the bad.
the Good:
When you look at this guitar it is a beauty, craftsmanship for the most part very good
Service from Sweetwater a five star experience.
The Bad:
the Floyd Rose on this guitar is 100% the worst i have ever had. this guitar does not stay in tune when engaging the bar.
I have 7 other EVH guitars and the Floyds are perfect . you can actually abuse them if you wanted and the guitar will stay in tune. this one is the worst. I have been playing guitar for over 40 years and this just poor quality.
this guitar now sits in a case in my guitar closet and will stay til i go and sell it and lose money.
If you want to buy an EVH guitar I would say go with the higher end models and you will be very happy. in most since this one i bought 3 higher end EVH guitars from Sweetwater and love them.

Sub par at best

I am a very loyal fan of Evh guitars but these Lower end guitars are hit or miss. I own 7 other Evh guitars and have no problems with my others. This guitar will not stay in tune The Floyd for sure is defective
