EVH 5150 Series Deluxe Poplar Burl Electric Guitar - Aqua Burst Reviews
Designed by rock legend Edward Van Halen, the EVH 5150 Deluxe is a high-performance electric guitar. Capped by a head-turning poplar burl top, the 5150 Deluxe's basswood body yields a growling, mid-forward tone that pairs perfectly with its muscular Wolfgang Alnico II humbuckers. Thanks to a graphite-reinforced, quartersawn maple neck, you'll enjoy rock-solid stability, while a compound-radius ebony fingerboard enables exceptional speed and comfort. Designed to his exact specifications and intentionally positioned against the body, the dive-bomb-only D-Tuna-equipped Floyd Rose lets you mimic Eddie’s signature trem work with ease, along with giving you instant access to Drop D tuning. The EVH 5150 Deluxe has a kill switch for mind-blowing stutter effects and a low-friction volume pot for super-smooth swells. The eye-catching all-chrome hardware and matching hockey stick headstock add the perfect final aesthetic touches to this shining machine.

EVH 5150 Aqua Burst….Love It!
I bought this guitar back in September of 2021 from Sweetwater and it's still one of my favorites out of all the ones in my collection. I've always wanted an EVH 5150 style guitar with a hockey stick headstock, but they never came with two pickups…until EVH started coming out with THESE 5150's. Love everything about it, (Fit, Feel, Finish, Sound, Playability), everything! So much so that I now own 3 of these, (in different colors of course). The only negative I can think of is that the finish has worn off on the body of the guitar from where I rest my picking hand. Maybe because I play it so much! Ha! That might bother some folks, but not me…It's like I'm naturally Relic'ing it. Anyway, this guitar is a ROCK MACHINE! If you're in the market for a ROCK Guitar, I strongly suggest THESE! Well done, EVH/Fender! And Thank You Sweetwater!
