Such a great guitar

This is an awesome guitar. The Floyd Rose works great, the fret work was done really well, and the color is perfect.

Beautiful EVH Special Surf Green Axe

Overall this is a great guitar. Excellent build quality and excellent components. This is an easy to play guitar due to the neck and contoured body. Note this is not a standard Floyd Rose. This one is to Eddie's specs and is flat on the body to be able to use the Drop D tuning. Takes some getting used to. The frets on mine were sprouting pretty badly when I received it, but after a few days of sitting in the humidity, the issue went away. I am sure this was stored somewhere very dry and the fretboard shrunk up. This is a great guitar for many styles of playing, especially rock, alternative, and metal. I love the flat satin surf green color. It is beautiful. I highly recommend this guitar. It is a great value and a super fun guitar to play. From the screaming pickups to the Drop D Tuning system, it's a winner. EVH does it again with the MIM EVH special guitar!

EVH. Enough said.

Fantastic guitar. I've owned a Peavey EVH for 20 years and this new Fender version is just as nice, maybe nicer. I love the neck on it, its a ripper for sure.

Are you kidding? This is EXCELLENT!

I LOVE IT! It took 9 months to get 1(ONE) sent from EVH. Adorama was very prompt with shipping. The guitar arrived in perfect condition and I tune. I will definitely continue to do business with Adorama. If you are curious about the Wolfgang guitar? I?ve been doing all of the whole nine yards outside of widespread fame and fortune for 35 years. Played and loved many different guitars. The Wolfgang is indeed a special device?a successful marriage of Les Paul and Strat - What Eddie was going for all along! He did it. Now we can all enjoy and benefit. Cheers!!!

Buy one ASAP!

This is one of the better guitars I've played in my life. Right out of the box it was intonated perfectly but needed to be tuned. If you haven't used a D-Tuna before (like me), I highly recommend looking up a video on how to properly tune it. Having owned floating floyd rose bridge guitars before, I expected tuning to be a hassle. But to my surprise, it tuned just like a regular guitar and I barely had to use the fine tuning pegs. My only problem that I've adjusted to my comfort would be the tension on the bridge was a bit too much for me, removing the cover on the back and taking out one of the springs fixed this problem for me. But everything else is perfect, you're getting the sound of a Les Paul in a strat style body. It's hard to not want to play this guitar. The neck is the smoothest I've ever played, it's finely sanded down and just feels like butter. The gloss black body is also stunning to look at, but keep a cloth around because it's a finger print magnet. If you're a fan of EVH or looking for a good hybrid between Fender and Gibson, this is the guitar for you.

Of all the WG specials I own (4), this one was almost perfect out of the box. Easier to set-up, and smoother to play. The only explanation I have is that sometimes guitars come together better than others. Pieces fit better, tone is right where you want it, etc... That’s what this one was. She’s a pure joy to play and the color looks far better in person than the pics show.

Best purchase, great guitar. I?m so happy

Because your performance demands excellence and style, the Wolfgang Special Electric Guitar in Pharaohs Gold is the epitome of both. This instrument has been meticulously road-tested in the most demanding arenas, ensuring it meets the standards of even the most discerning musicians. The Wolfgang Special is not just an electric guitar; it's a statement piece, boasting a shiny, glossy, and elegant Pharaohs Gold finish that is as stylish as it is sleek.

Crafted with a basswood body that features an arched top, this guitar resonates with a rich, full-bodied tone. The robust graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck is designed to withstand the rigors of energetic performances. Carved to the precise specifications of guitar legend Eddie Van Halen, the neck's hand-rubbed satin urethane finish on the back provides a smooth, comfortable grip for high-speed playability.

The 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard is engineered for fluid transitions between massive chords and fiery leads, with 22 jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays for a classic aesthetic touch. The innovative spoke wheel at the base of the neck makes truss rod adjustments a breeze, ensuring your guitar is always playing at its best.

At the heart of the Wolfgang Special's giant sound are the custom-designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking pickups. These pickups are directly mounted to the body, delivering a dynamic and articulate voicing with an abundance of sustain that's perfect for powerful chords and intricate melody lines.

The EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo and Floyd Rose locking nut are the bedrock of this guitar's tuning stability, allowing for extreme pitch changes without sacrificing precision. Additionally, the revolutionary EVH D-Tuna system lets you switch to drop-D tuning and back with unparalleled accuracy, all with a simple flick.

The volume knob, equipped with a treble bleed circuit, features a 500K EVH Bourns low friction pot for seamless volume swells. The tone control knob, with a 250K Bourns high friction tone pot, ensures your tone settings remain locked in place, no matter how intense your performance gets.

The Wolfgang Special Electric Guitar in Pharaohs Gold is a testament to high-quality craftsmanship and iconic design, making it the preferred choice for guitarists who demand a unique look without compromising on sound or performance.
