The EVH Wolfgang WG Standard electric guitar boasts the same style and massive sound that Eddie Van Halen created, at a price that the everyday musician can afford. Offering many of the blazing features as its pricier brethren, the Wolfgang WG Standard has a basswood body with special «comfort-cut» forearm contour for maximum playing ease. The WG Standard’s bolt-on baked maple neck with graphite reinforcement rods hold strong against the ravages of temperature and humidity, while a conveniently located spoke wheel at the base of the neck makes for quick and painless truss rod adjustments.
Designed for comfortable playability and speed, the Wolfgang WG Standard also features an oiled finish on the back of the neck and a 12–16″ compound radius baked 22-fret maple fingerboard with rolled edges and black dot inlays.
Dual EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickups mounted directly to the body increase vibration transfer, which results in sustain for days on end. Two black speed control knobs have been dialed in to Van Halen’s exacting specifications—the smooth-feeling 500k pots make it easy to find a unique sound while retaining the crisp high-end sparkle of the Wolfgang pickups. The EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special bridge and R2 locking nut consistently keep the guitar in tune through the deepest whammy dives and horse whinnies.
The EVH Wolfgang WG Standard has been tested live on stage, where it counts. It’s decked out for playing performance and comfort.
