The Wolfgang Striped Special in the EVH Lineage
Designed according to Eddie Van Halen's specifications, the Wolfgang Special Striped features the legendary "Wolfgang" silhouette and striped aesthetic. This "Special" version focuses on effective lutherie choices and stage-ready electronics, offering an outstanding performance/price ratio within the EVH range.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
Designed for players of modern rock, hard rock, and metal, this electric guitar excels in tight rhythms, ringing harmonics, and fast solos. The Wolfgang profile neck, ebony fingerboard, and compound radius provide precise control for motivated beginners as well as intermediate and expert players seeking a responsive instrument.
Sound
The basswood body delivers balanced mids and a sharp attack, while the maple neck adds the definition needed for cutting riffs. The ebony fingerboard enhances precision and snap. The EVH Wolfgang humbuckers, mounted
directly into the body, transfer more energy to the wood, ensuring long sustain and quick response. The 3-position selector covers from incisive bridge to creamy neck tones, with a middle position ideal for broader rhythms. The EVH Bourns "low friction" volume control (with Treble Bleed) preserves highs when lowering volume, while the "high friction" tone control prevents accidental changes. The EVH Floyd Rose with brass block and locking nut guarantees reliable tuning even during dive-bombs, and the EVH D-Tuna allows instant Drop-D tuning without losing accuracy.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel and balance, opt for
009-042 nickel strings (EVH Nickel Plated Steel .009-.042 set). Any
standard strap of 50-60 mm width will work with the
oversized strap buttons. An
A-frame or tripod guitar stand is perfectly suited for the "Wolfgang" format.
