EVH 5150 Series Deluxe QM Electric Guitar, Purple Daze

Because of its unique blend of vintage charm and modern sophistication, the 5150 Series Deluxe QM Electric Guitar in Purple Daze is a true standout in the world of electric guitars. This reimagined classic is engineered for speed, comfort, and full-throttle attitude, making it a perfect choice for both seasoned musicians and aspiring rockstars.

The 5150 Deluxe QM boasts a modified Strat-style basswood body, adorned with a stunning quilt maple top and a deeper upper body curve. Its graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck, featuring a comfortable modified "C" profile, is designed for smooth and speedy playability. The hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel, and color-matched "hockey stick" headstock with an EVH logo decal add to its aesthetic appeal.

This electric guitar is equipped with a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard, featuring 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays. Unlike its striped original, the 5150 Deluxe QM is outfitted with an HH pickup configuration, controlled by a three-way toggle on the upper bout. The custom-designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking bridge pickup delivers a perfectly balanced EQ curve, offering punchy articulation, sweet sustain, and thick, chunky rhythms.

The EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking neck pickup provides robust overdrive and endless sustain, without compromising on clean, articulate tones when the volume is rolled down. The custom-designed low friction volume knob ensures smooth volume transitions, while the high friction tone knob remains stable, even if accidentally bumped. A new feature, the lower bout kill switch, adds to the guitar's versatility.

The 5150 Deluxe QM is also equipped with a "dive-bomb" certified EVH-branded top-mount Floyd Rose bridge. The locking tailpiece features fine tuners for each string and a patented EVH D-Tuna, allowing for quick and easy switching between drop-D and standard tuning.

The guitar's rippling quilt maple top is beautifully complemented by a vivid Purple Daze finish and all-chrome hardware, including EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines. This modern spin on a fan favorite, the 5150 Series Deluxe QM Electric Guitar in Purple Daze, is sure to impress with its blend of style, performance, and versatility.
