EVH LTD SA-126 Special EBO Satin Shell Pink

An EVH Designed by Wolfgang Van Halen: The SA-126, Between Tradition and Performance

With the SA-126 Special, EVH presents Wolfgang Van Halen's vision of a "modern 21st-century" guitar: the responsiveness and precision of a solid body, enriched by the resonance and breadth of an instrument with acoustic chambers. This SA-126 stands as a high-performance alternative for guitarists seeking an expressive instrument capable of handling gain while remaining musical and defined.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

The EVH SA-126 Special is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for a responsive, fast, and versatile instrument. Its ergonomics and humbuckers make it especially comfortable in modern rock, hard rock, metal, fusion, and gritty blues, while still delivering beautiful textures in clean tones for indie, pop, or more spacious accompaniments.

The Sound

The combination of mahogany + acoustic chambers adds warmth, rich mids, and a sense of depth, while the basswood center block enhances stability, note sustain, and control at high volumes. The maple top adds attack and clarity, useful for maintaining definition under distortion. On the electronics side, the HH EVH SA-126 configuration offers a wide spectrum: precise and bright cleans, solid crunch dynamics, and a high output level tailored for dense distortion with generous sustain. The two independent volumes and two tones facilitate finely tuned adjustments between the neck and bridge pickups, whether balancing a massive rhythm and a sharper lead, or sculpting more nuanced sounds.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This guitar comes with a dedicated hard case, covered in ivory vinyl and lined with blue velvet. It is factory-strung with nickel steel strings in .009-.046 gauge: you can keep this gauge to retain the playing feel and balance intended by EVH.
