EVH 5150 Standard Left-handed Electric Guitar - Stealth Black with Ebony Fingerboard Reviews
High-performance players searching for an axe with speed, comfort, and full-throttle attitude will be blown away by the EVH 5150 Standard. For EVH aficionados, this solidbody electric guitar represents an iconic blast from the past; that said, its modernized features plant it firmly in the present. The 5150 Standard is built around a modified Strat-style body carved from a solid slab of basswood. Its quarter-sawn maple Speed neck sports a comfortable modified "C" back shape, and its lightning-fast, compound-radius fingerboard is crowned by 22 jumbo frets. Plug into a high-gain amplifier, and the 5150 Standard's direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbuckers positively erupt with tone, yielding chunky rhythms and articulate leads with enough punch and sustain to fill a stadium. You also get an EVH-branded Floyd Rose tremolo, enabling you to unleash shameless pitch pyrotechnics with rock-solid tuning stability, along with a D-Tuna for effortless access to Drop D. A low-friction volume pot, high-friction tone pot, and a lower-bout kill switch round out the 5150 Standard's upper-level appointments. Technical-minded players hunting for a throwback electric guitar with modern features will be on top of the world with the EVH 5150 Standard.

Real review of the left handed version.
I've owned it roughly2 weeks, in that time I have played it pretty heavily and have a few points to put. The finish. It's a matte finish much like the stealth Wolfgang's.. it has gotten shiny in places already but it's more of a breaking in so to speak. Adds character. Body is very comfortable and it's lighter in weight than expected and for bigger guys like myself it's not of a small size. The Floyd rose works like it should. It's not a cheap Floyd either. Pickups are Wolfgang's and they sound like you would expect. Articulate and clear. There is just something special about those pickups. Clean channel they are so clear and with some dirt they really pop. The kill switch will become your friend very quickly, not only for its function but you can get really creative with it. I saved the neck for the last part. I have pretty good size hands. 2 xl work gloves I've played Wolfgang's Ibanez Alvarez music mans and the neck on this stealth is the most comfortable neck to my hands. There is zero string roll off on the sides. The width is just right vs other necks being just a hair too skinny. It's a modified c shape. So think c shaped but width evenly applied in all the right places. Strat essence with modern feel. Set up properly no fret buzz. The neck right out of the box felt broke in and familiar like I had it for years. The frets I was told by fender are stainless steel however Other sites don't give the information other than 22 jumbo frets. It checks all the boxes and this is built for some serious enjoyment.
