The Ultimate Wolfgang Electric Guitar

The EVH USA Wolfgang Signature solidbody electric guitar is loaded with exclusive features. Its maple-topped basswood body delivers warmth with plenty of snap and growl. Enjoy comfort and stability via a graphite-reinforced quartersawn maple neck with hand-rubbed urethane back finish. Generate incredible speed on this guitar's compound-radius ebony fingerboard and experience the scorching, well-balanced tone and near-endless sustain of alnico EVH Wolfgang humbuckers. 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. Topping it all off is a red-button kill switch for stuttery accents. The EVH USA Wolfgang Signature is a first-rate solidbody electric guitar.

A Wolfgang of a different breed

Taking a different path in the creation process, the EVH USA Wolfgang Signature is different from its brothers. A big leaf maple top lends different tonal characteristics to this guitar's basswood body. An ebony fretboard further differentiates its tonality and EVH Wolfgang AL2 (bridge) and AL3 (neck) humbuckers deliver a scorching, well-balanced tone. A high-friction tone pot prevents accidental tone shifting, while an EVH HPU (High Performance Upgrade) low-friction volume pot creates swells without clicks or pops. Stutter-stop à la "You Really Got Me" with the red-button kill switch. At the core, the USA Wolfgang Signature is a totally different guitar from any other Wolfgang.

Quartersawn neck for stability and playability

The neck is one of the most important aspects of any guitar, which is why this EVH USA Wolfgang Signature features a quartersawn maple neck. Besides looking good, the straight grain of quartersawn necks is significantly more stable than plain-sawn necks and less likely to warp, twist, or shrink. You'll also love the playability and feel of the compound-radius ebony fretboard on this USA Wolfgang Signature. 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. Best of all, no matter how hard you're playing, you'll maintain your tuning stability, thanks to the Floyd Rose tremolo's locking design. On top of that, you can easily switch to Drop D tuning, courtesy of the USA Wolfgang Signature's D-Tuna!

  • Solidbody electric guitar designed by rock legend Eddie Van Halen
  • Maple-topped basswood body and dual Wolfgang alnico humbuckers deliver scorching, well-balanced tone

EVH Wolfgang Stealth Review
I produce music for a living and have hundreds of guitar sessions under my belt. I've used PRS and I have two beautiful Fender Stratocasters and a pristine Les Paul. When I purchased the Les Paul, I auditioned five identical Les Pauls in the same room along with one used Les Paul from craigslist and picked the best sounding one of them all. My Les Paul is one of, if not the best sounding Les Paul I have ever heard and my EVH Wolfgang stealth nine out of 10 times has better tone and gets used for a project over the Les Paul or any of my Strats. Also has near perfect intonation and seems to stay in tune much longer than any other guitar I've ever played.

Amazing EVH Wolfgang Guitar!!!
Words can't perfectly describe how awesome this guitar is. EVH knocked it out of the park with this and I'm in awe. Was shipping well, arrived in top notch condition and played perfectly right out of the box. The guitar is absolutely flawless. Great job EVH and great job Sweetwater! Jimmy Hart was awesome, as always! I highly recommend this guitar to others and also highly recommend Sweetwater! Thank you again!
Built for comfort, performance, tone, and total badassery!
I ordered mine a week or two after EVH's passing. My girlfriend and I were sitting around watching Van Halen performances, and she said, "That is the most awesome guitar I've ever seen." I play mostly Les Pauls (I have 15.), a 345, and I have an ESP, some Jacksons, PRS and various other odds n ends. I've been playing for over 30 years. After my 358 day wait, she finally came home to me. I have to say, this is one of the best built, best sounding, and sturdy instruments I've ever played. I'd not hesitate to buy more of them. I can get this guitar to do absolutely anything I want it to. It is truly stunning to unbox. I could still smell the ocean water on the body for the first few days. The first two days of owning it, I likely plays 38+ hours. I just could not set it down. I could not be happier with my purchase. I'd like to also thank Austin Zachrich, my Sweetwater rep, for hooking me up with this fine instrument. He has taken care of every musical need for me the last couple of years; great job Austin!!

If you second guess this guitar on price, think again;. It is worth every cent. Thank you for the fine instrument Mr. EVH!

BEST GUITAR...EVER!!!!!!!!
Hands down the best guitar I've ever picked up! I have 5 Les Pauls, 3 Strats, and I'm pretty sure they will rot in their cases. Everything about the EVH is perfect. Eddie once said everything he learned in over 35 years of building guitars went into this one. Well, all I can say is it worked. Everything from the playability to the tones you can achieve is spot on. All I can say is THANK YOU EDDIE!!!!!!!!!!
The BEST and most Fun guitar i've ever owned or played
This thing is AMAZING!! feels like butter in my hands. Fingers FLY all over the neck. I have several other guitars including 2 PRS 24-10 tops, which USED to be my favs. But this black beauty is another level!

The ONLY dis i have on it, is the volumn knob is super close to the strings and very loose on the twisting, which im constantly havingcto make sure its all the way up. But nothing a velt washer wont fix!
