EVH Star Limited Electric Guitar - Matte Army Drab Reviews
A modern reinterpretation of Eddie Van Halen’s iconic Charvel parts guitar from the late 1970s, the Star Limited is primed to unleash ripping riffs, lightspeed leads, and roaring rhythms with signature EVH attitude. This guitar’s basswood "Star" body is host to a spartan setup of a lone volume knob, a single direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickup, and a push-button kill switch — a formula combining Eddie’s later 6-string affinities with the setup of his original modded-out Charvel. Next, an EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo allows you to squeal and dive-bomb with reckless abandon, while the D-Tuna makes it a breeze to quickly swap between standard and Drop D tuning. One of the EVH Star Limited’s most eye-catching features is surely the maple neck’s bottle headstock shape — a tip of the hat to the department-store guitar neck that Eddie mated to his beloved Charvel. Finally, it wouldn’t be an EVH instrument without seriously hot-rodded performance — this guitar’s ebony fingerboard, 12- to 16-inch compound radius, and Speed Neck profile complete the EVH Star Limited with slick playability that’s sure to please even the most stringent of technically minded guitarists.

Absolutely amazing guitar
Did not realize that EVH was making a limited run of these . Of course Sweetwater had them in stock right away. Picked mine which is so amazing as it has some striping/coloring tone in the fretboard to make it even more different. The sales team excellent as always. Guitar shipped and arrived in three days packed perfectly. Did some minor tweaking and had this one growling right away. Had my tech fine tune it Saturday and it now is just perfect. Do not overlook this one. Plays, sounds great. Really comfortable to play as well
Will probably get another color as this feels like will become my go to guitar
Great Guitar!
The guitar sounds and plays great. Even the D-Tuna works perfectly and doesn't drift its preciscion over time. The guitar sounds loud and proud, but digs in when you bear down on it and will chunk on commmand. The Wolfgang pickup has made a believer out of me and I will order others. The olive drab finish is much more impressive in person. The guitar is a lean weapon that sounds great all around. The ONE drawback is the upper access to the higher register is extremely limited. I have a Warmoth Star body guitar that has great access to the upper frets. The cutaway on this guitar isn't so great. This one will suit a three finger left hand player. Its a drawback. What's the upside of the cramped cutaway? I have started coming up with licks and runs that can be done on this guitar's limited range. So strangely enough, its spurred on some creative and newer licks/approach. After all, the point is to be musical and listenable.
Im going to give this guitar 4 stars because it does what it does extremely well for the price, but does have limited up access to the highest frests.
It is a rock solid machine. Its my 30th electric and I know my guitars. If you think you will like this guitar, you will when you get it. From the cutoff switch to the Dtuna, its a great job by EVH
