Tone, Playability and Killer Looks

Built to Eddie Van Halen's exacting standards, the EVH Wolfgang WG Standard QM is brimming with playability and ferocious tone. And it's supremely eye-catching, thanks to its gorgeous quilt maple top. Dual direct-mounted EVH Wolfgang humbuckers yield a distinctive woody character and ample sustain. The Wolfgang's 1-piece bolt-on maple neck is reinforced with graphite rods, ensuring maximum stability and resistance to temperature and humidity. An EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special tremolo and locking nut maintain intonation — even after extreme dive-bombing. The EVH Wolfgang WG Standard QM reflects a commitment to quality worthy of the extraordinary guitarist it's named after.

A rock machine that's built for serious fretwork

At Sweetwater, we've been consistently impressed by EVH guitars, and the Wolfgang WG Standard QM is no exception. From its basswood body to its 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 WG Standard QM'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" 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.

EVH Wolfgang WG Standard QM Features:

  • Designed by rock legend Eddie Van Halen
  • Quilt maple top offers an eye-catching appearance
  • Basswood body and dual EVH pickups deliver resonant tone, sustain, and crunch
  • Compound-radius allows for exceptional speed and comfort
  • EVH-branded Floyd Rose tremolo allows for twisting, bending, and dive-bombing
  • Comfort cut forearm contour for maximum playing ease

It has the sound!

This guitar plays and sounds like a dream. Eddie knew what he wanted a guitar to sound and play like. I'm glad all the companies he collaborated with to make his equipment listened to him and worked to make one of the best guitars I have played. The neck is awesome along with the pickups. But! Buyer beware... You need to be familiar with how hard it is to set up Floyd Rose equipped guitar correctly. It takes time and a lot of patience to work on it. But it is well worth it. A lot of people say that you need to upgrade parts in the Wolfgang Standard to make it like the USA Specials. Mine is not like that. I am super happy with the guitar and Sweetwater for their service. If you have the time to put into this instrument, you will not be disappointed with your purchase. Love it!
