EVH Wolfgang
The EVH Wolfgang guitar represents Eddie’s 35 years of experimenting with guitars, over two years of intense research and development, and a full year of brutal road testing during the 2007-2008 Van Halen tour.
It was during the massive 2007-2008 Van Halen tour that the all-new EVH Wolfgang guitar went through extensive live “road testing” performance trials. The tour kicked off in fall 2007, and Eddie punished early versions of the new Wolfgang each night; playing every updated prototype onstage under the full, unfiltered spotlight of his fans. The results are reflected in the EVH Wolfgang guitar; produced to Eddie’s exact specifications and with features identical to the Wolfgang guitars he records and performs with.
“A guitar is a very personal extension of the person playing it. You have to be emotionally and spiritually connected to your instrument. I could have just stayed at home and built this guitar for myself. I do this because a lot of people ask if they can get what I use. Well, yes you can and what you get is identical to what I use,” commented Eddie. “From the basics of the guitar to painstaking aspects like the binding and everything else—we re-did everything on this guitar.”
“Every aspect and component of this guitar has been examined and upgraded to the highest standards possible: stainless steel frets, double-potted custom-wound pickups, five-piece binding on the matching body and headstock, custom-made signature tuning machines and Floyd Rose® bridge, new low-friction pots, and the list keeps going … we left no stone unturned,” said Eddie. “Everything that I’ve built, destroyed, stumbled onto, learned and experienced is in this guitar.”
When Eddie Van Halen made his debut into the rock music scene in 1978, he did so with a homemade guitar (later known as “Frankenstein”). At a time when his monster technique and tone demanded a high-performance, indestructible guitar, he created his own to reach his own seemingly impossible standards. For over 35 years, he has continued to examine and improve every variable within the instrument, all culminating with the new EVH Wolfgang guitar.

SN. WG01264A Weight: 7 Pounds, 13 Ounces "I purchased four of the original MusicMan EVH guitars in the early 90's. I gigged with them, recorded with them and absolutely loved 'em. I used them for much more than just rock-n-roll finding them to be extremely versatile instruments with fantastic necks, excellent balance and a woodiness to the tone that I hadn't previously heard in any other humbucker guitar. All of the expected humbucker qualities were there, but there was something about the definition and clarity combined with this "woodiness" that made the guitars seem absolutely perfect. Sadly, I sold all four when the prices skyrocketed in '96 due to Eddie and Music Man parting ways and I needed a downpayment for my family's first house since my wife was then pregnant with our first child. I've never felt the same love for the Peavey offerings (even though they were nicely built guitars and nearly identical in shape to the new EVH models) and was disappointed with the relocation of the pickup selector switch on the Axis model and believe that, while also beautifully built guitars, somehow the Mojo was lost in the transition. Now, after 13 years, I've found a guitar that replaces my long gone, original, early 90's EVH guitars. These guitars smoke!" -Stu Carter, owner Fat Sound Guitars Specifications
