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
  • Compound-radius fingerboard allows for exceptional speed and comfort

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!
Rated 5/5

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!!!!!!!!!!

EVH Wolfgang USA Stealth - This guitar is amazing!!!!

I've had my eye on this guitar for a long time, but I'd never had the chance to play one since I've never found them in stock at any store. I've always had a great experience buying at Sweetwater and my rep, Craig Edgar is fantastic!

I finally decided to pull the trigger and pick one up and I am just amazed at how good this guitar is. Everything about this guitar is built for speed and playability. The setup is flawless and the neck is fast and comfortable, and moving around the fretboard is effortless. The finish is perfect and everything on this guitar from the fast neck to the controls, the DTuna, on the Floyd work perfectly. I've played this through several amps and configurations and it sounds great through everything I have tried so far.

Having been an EVH fan for most of my life, this is an amazing guitar to play and well worth it. I haven't touched any of my other guitars (Strat, LP, PRS) since I bought this guitar. Truly a gem!
Rated 5/5

Unbelievable guitar

I have been looking at this guitar for years, but the price tag kept me from pulling the trigger (that and the fact no store locally has one). I had purchased a guitar earlier in the summer (Garrhett Kidd was my sales engineer and was great) and has such a good experience I had confidence in Sweetwater. After looking at the guitar for the 300th time or so, I noticed a 10 percent discount, and that was enough for me to order it in August or so. Fast forward to December and it arrived.

The fit and finish is flawless and it is beautiful. The black matte looks fantastic. I was not a huge fan of the eyelet strap connector, but is is very secure when combined with the EVH strap and it is growing on me. The tones from the two pickups are amazing, and between pickup changes, and tone/volume knob changes, the number of different tones I have found is impressive (I am playing it directly through a Marshall amp - have not even tried pedals yet). The D-tuna works well for immediate drop D tuning. Between that and using the Floyd-Rose tremolo, I have not had to retune it yet. Setup and intonation from Sweetwater was perfect. Playing artificial harmonics is easy, and I have never had a guitar where playing natural harmonic all over the fretboard was easy until now. It is FAST and EFFORTLESS to play (neck is incredible and comfortable). I thought the kill switch was a bit gimmicky and I would not use it - but admittedly I have used it (it increases the fun factor). The guitar is light, and playing it for hours is not a problem.

Overall, I am overjoyed with this guitar. I have always been a huge Eddie Van Halen fan, and the fact this is the culmination of years of his innovation makes playing it even more special. I hardly ever leave reviews, but this guitar is so special, it deserves one. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.
