About EVH 5150 Series Deluxe

Over the years, the 5150 Series Deluxe Poplar Burl Electric Guitar, with its Ebony Fingerboard and striking Aqua Burst finish, has become a symbol of high-quality craftsmanship and innovative design. This stylish and durable instrument is a reimagined version of an iconic classic, blending both vintage and modern features for the contemporary musician.

The 5150 Deluxe Poplar Burl is engineered for speed, comfort, and full-throttle attitude. It boasts a modified Strat-style basswood body, accentuated by a deeper upper body curve for an enhanced aesthetic appeal. The guitar's graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck is designed with a comfortable modified "C" profile, hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, and a heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel. The color-matched "hockey stick" headstock, adorned with the EVH logo decal, adds a touch of class to this versatile instrument.

Designed for smooth and speedy playability, the 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard features 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays. Unlike its famed striped original that had a single humbucking bridge pickup, the all-new 5150 Deluxe is equipped 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 the perfect balance of punch and articulation, offering sweet sustain and thick chunky rhythms in a perfectly balanced EQ curve. The EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking neck pickup provides no-nonsense, balls-to-the-wall overdrive and endless sustain, without compromising on articulate cleans when the volume is rolled down.

The guitar features a custom-designed low friction volume knob for the smoothest volume swells, and a high friction tone knob that stays in place even if accidentally bumped. A new feature is the lower bout kill switch, allowing you to mute your guitar for those stutter, rhythmic effects - reminiscent of "You Really Got Me."

The 5150 Deluxe is decked out 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 for instant switching from drop-D to standard tuning.

This modern spin on a fan favorite is sure to stun with its unique poplar burl top, wrapped in Aqua Burst or Black Burst, and finished off with all-chrome hardware, including the EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines. The 5150 Series Deluxe Poplar Burl Electric Guitar is a testament to EVH's commitment to quality, innovation, and style.
