The EVH Wolfgang WG Standard captures the lightning-fast playability and massive tone that made Eddie Van Halen an immortal guitar hero. With this instrument, you’re getting an affordable take on the iconic Wolfgang design, loaded with Eddie’s personal specifications. Whether you’re ripping through “Eruption” or crafting your own legendary riffs, the Wolfgang WG Standard delivers the feel and sound to make it happen.
Designed for Maximum Playing Comfort
From the moment you pick up the Wolfgang WG Standard, you’ll appreciate its player-friendly construction. The basswood body sports the same distinctive “comfort cut” forearm contour that made Eddie’s original guitars so natural to grip. A bolt-on baked maple neck with graphite reinforcement rods ensures outstanding stability and resistance to environmental changes. An oiled finish on the back of the neck lets your fretting hand glide effortlessly.
Compound-Radius Fingerboard Enhances Playability
The baked maple fingerboard is a true performer’s platform, with a 12″–16″ compound radius that gradually increases toward the body. This innovative design allows the flatter 16″ curve in the typically challenging upper registers, while the rounder 12″ radius down low provides comfortable chord work. Rolled fingerboard edges and jumbo frets further elevate the playing experience with their smooth feel under the hands.
Signature EVH Humbuckers Deliver Massive Crunch
At the core of the Wolfgang WG Standard’s massive sound are its dual direct-mounted EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickups. Mounted directly to the basswood body, these powerhouse humbuckers transfer more vibration from the strings, resulting in an exceptionally lively response with seemingly endless sustain. Dial in everything from searing leads to chunky rhythm work with these signature pickups.
Dive Deep With the EVH Floyd Rose
No EVH guitar would be complete without the ability to pull off Van Halen’s iconic whammy tricks. The EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special bridge and R2 locking nut keep the strings locked in tune through the wildest divebombs and whinnies. Recreate Eddie’s signature effects and come up with outrageous tricks of your own—the Floyd Rose makes it all possible.
