Hard-hitting Tone, Ample Playability, and Exotic Looks

The EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic Poplar Burl was designed for one thing: hard-hitting rock ’n’ roll. Built to Eddie Van Halen’s exacting standards, this axe exhibits the ferocious tone and effortless playability that players of his caliber demand. Beyond that, its eye-catching poplar burl top ensures that all eyes will be on you every time you step on stage. Enjoy a distinctive woody character and ample sustain, thanks to dual direct-mounted EVH Wolfgang humbuckers. Benefit from maximum stability and resistance to temperature and humidity, by virtue of a graphite-reinforced, bolt-on baked maple neck. An EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special tremolo and locking nut maintain intonation — even after extreme whammy bar abuse. The EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic Poplar Burl is the high-performance hard rock machine you’ve been waiting for.

A rock machine that's built for serious fretwork

At Sweetwater, we've been consistently impressed by EVH guitars, and the Wolfgang Standard Exotic Poplar Burl is no exception. From its basswood body to its baked 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 Standard Exotic Poplar Burl'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 inches 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.

  • Designed by rock legend Eddie Van Halen
  • Poplar burl top offers an eye-catching appearance

I’m Loving it

I had been wanting an EVH Wolfgang for quite some time and after seeing it on the website and finding out that I would get the actual guitar in the picture I was sold. It sounds fantastic as expected and the sales engineer was super helpful with the questions I had. It was my first time making a bit of a big purchase but I was delivered fast without a problem so I now have the confidence to make another purchase and I will soon.
Thanks Again Camden

I love it!

What an awesome guitar, everything you would expect out of an EVH Wolfgang Standard. The poplar wood is very soft, so be careful not to ding it up.
