Designed by a Fretboard Legend

Built to Eddie Van Halen's specifications, the EVH Wolfgang Standard is a well-designed, ferocious machine. This guitar's basswood body generates insane tonal resonance and sustain, which will lend a fluid, glass-like quality to your legato phrases. This Wolfgang Standard's dual custom-designed humbuckers add just enough edge to your sound to make your amp bark and bite. You'll be delighted by the hand-rubbed oil finish on this guitar's fast-playing neck as your hand slides effortlessly down its smooth maple fingerboard. Complete with an EVH-branded Floyd Rose tremolo, this Wolfgang Standard is loaded with everything a serious guitarist could want.

Built for serious playing

From its basswood body to its maple neck and fingerboard, this EVH Wolfgang Standard 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 black plastic knobs for total control over your tone and volume and super-stable EVH tuners. All the components come together to make a high-performance electric guitar.

Ultra-stable 2-piece bolt-on neck

The neck is one of the most important aspects of any instrument, which is why this EVH Wolfgang Standard's 2-piece bolt-on neck offers such amazing stability. You'll also love the playability and feel of the compound-radius fretboard on this Wolfgang Standard. The fretboard radius goes from 12" 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 yank it, you'll maintain your tuning stability, thanks to the Floyd Rose tremolo's locking design.

EVH Wolfgang Standard Features:

  • Designed by rock guitar legend Eddie Van Halen
  • Basswood body and dual EVH pickups deliver resonant tone with bite
  • Compound-radius fingerboard allows for exceptional speed and comfort
  • EVH-branded Floyd Rose tremolo allows for dive-bombing
  • Comfort cut forearm contour for maximum playing ease
  • Belly cut allows the guitar to fit comfortably against your torso

Rated 5/5

Almost perfection.

Simply an amazing guitar. After having the neck pick up split for single coil tones, Wolfie can play nearly any style of music. The neck is the best part. Frets are clean and rounded, the neck is about the smoothest I have felt and fretboard is very easy to work. It's a sleeper for sure. It goes under everyone's radar but, anyone who has picked it up has loved it. This quality is what the standard for guitars should be. Not liking it would only be due to your aesthetic taste.

Very easy playing guitar

Not a budget guitar, but far more versatile than many guitars that are much more expensive. Easy playing, very nice neck profile, tactile quality of the roasted maple neck is just better than non-roasted. Controls are well appointed, sound through the pickups is fantastic. Only one gripe - no EVH D-Tuna on the guitar, so I added one. Overall, highly recommended.

EVH Wolfgang Standard

After 2 months of research I finally decided to order the EVH Wolfgang Standard in Matte Army Drab that was a demo model. It has a pretty deep ding in the back of the body contour near the top which is only visible to the player and not an audience. The pictures for the damage did do the ding justices, so I was not surprised when I received the guitar. I am definitely satisfied I took the deal as this guitar is by far the best playing electric instrument I have ever owned and I have had USA made Gibson Les Pauls, Fender Strats and Teles over the years. Sweetwater is the only place I would have ordered it from as well. Musician's Friend and Guitar Center had comparable models with colors I may have wanted, but I don't trust them to get me a playable instrument via FedEX. Sweetwater's inspection and set up is 2nd to none in the mail order industry. This is my second guitar from Sweetwater and probably my 6th purchase from them over the years. Mike Harris is great to work with as well. Always friendly and knowledgeable. This is my first Floyd Rose model and the guitar stays in tune on dive bombs and hard bends that the Strats never did. I absolutely love the neck as it feels ultra fast and smooth. The fret board is super flat with smooth frets top to bottom. No rough spots even up in the high notes from 12-22. While MF and GC had complaints about their EVH Wolfgang Standard models, Sweetwater shines with their's. No one paid me to say these things either. LOL.
