Description
The EVH MIJ Series Signature Wolfgang is Eddie Van Halen’s vision of the ultimate rock guitar. This stealthy ax starts with a lightweight basswood body and maple top chosen for resonance and sustain. The bolt-on quartersawn maple neck is reinforced with graphite for climate-resistant stability and carved to Eddie’s precise specs, then finished in hand-rubbed satin urethane for a smooth, fast feel. The ebony fingerboard has a compound 12″-16″ radius and 22 jumbo stainless-steel frets for effortless soloing across all strings.
High-Output Pickups Deliver Iconic EVH Tone
Direct-mounted EVH Wolfgang humbuckers—an alnico 2 in the bridge and alnico 3 in the neck—provide perfectly balanced output and attack. The bridge pickup delivers punchy articulation, endless sustain, and chunky rhythm tones, while the neck pickup produces creamy leads and cleans. A 3-way toggle lets you choose neck, bridge or both pickups.
Performance-Ready Parts for Dive Bombs and Drop D
An EVH-branded Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo and R2 nut keep the Wolfgang in tune through radical pitch changes and “dive bombs. The EVH D-Tuna lets you drop from standard to drop D tuning instantly. A kill switch creates rhythmic stutter effects, while EVH low-friction volume and high-friction tone pots provide smooth control.
Premium Appointments and Included Accessories
The Wolfgang Stealth Black comes with cream binding, black knurled control knobs, chrome strap buttons, and a black headstock. It includes an EVH hardshell case, strap, and “dog leash” eye-bolt clasps.
