The Limited Edition Wolfgang Special Striped is Eddie Van Halen's vision of the ultimate rock machine, built for players who demand both explosive tone and lightning-fast playability. This striking instrument features an aged striped finish in Red with Black and White Stripes, complemented by distressed chrome hardware that gives it an authentic road-worn aesthetic. The basswood body with arched top provides the foundation for a robust graphite-reinforced quartersawn maple neck, carved and rolled to EVH's exacting specifications, paired with a speedy 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets.
Custom-designed EVH Wolfgang Humbucking pickups are mounted directly to the body, supplying girth and sparkle with near-endless sustain for power chords and melody lines. The low-friction volume knob allows for speedy violin-like volume swells, while the tone knob resists easy turning to avoid unwanted tonal shifts during aggressive playing. An EVH-branded Floyd Rose® locking tremolo bridge works in tandem with the Floyd Rose locking nut to maintain precise tuning through the most extreme whammy-bar techniques, and the EVH D-Tuna® provides instant Drop-D tuning accuracy at the flick of a finger.
