EVH's Iconic Bumblebee Electric Guitar
This EVH Wolfgang Special solidbody
evokes Eddie Van Halen's iconic Bumblebee electric guitar. Its archtop
basswood body fits like a glove. Its graphite-reinforced quartersawn
maple neck is stable and comfortable and the hand-rubbed urethane gel
back finish only adds to its playability. Ultra-high-speed techniques
seem effortless on this guitar's compound-radius fingerboard. Experience
the dynamic, articulate voicing and near-endless sustain of
direct-mounted EVH Wolfgang humbuckers. Dive-bomb to your heart's
content with an EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking trem. The EVH Wolfgang
Special solidbody electric guitar is tailor-made for high-performance
playing.
A rock machine that's built for serious fretwork
From its basswood body to its maple
neck and fingerboard, this guitar just screams quality — and that's just
the tonewoods! This gorgeous guitar is made for serious playing, with a
compound-radius fingerboard, an EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo,
and direct-mounted EVH humbuckers. The controls are top-notch too: you
get a handy 3-way pickup selector switch, low-friction volume pot, and
high-friction tone pot for total control over your tone and volume.
Quartersawn neck for stability and playability
The neck is one of the most important
aspects of any guitar, which is why this EVH Wolfgang Special 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 fretboard on this Wolfgang Special. 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. 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
Wolfgang Special's D-Tuna!
