Born from the EVH legacy, designed for the stage
Inspired by Eddie Van Halen's stage demands, the Wolfgang Special EB condenses the core of EVH DNA into a version with an impressive performance/price ratio. Robust construction, effective setups, and reliable components make it a safe bet for guitarists who play loud and often.
Who is this Wolfgang for?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists in rock, hard rock, and metal, it also feels at home in modern pop or fusion thanks to its HH pickup configuration and 3-position selector switch. Ambitious beginners will appreciate its ergonomics and the consistency of a well-adjusted Floyd system.
Sound
The solid basswood offers balanced mids and a clear foundation, which the ebony fingerboard sharpens with a crisp and articulated attack. The EVH Wolfgang humbuckers deliver a high output level, tight lows, and precise highs, with great definition even under heavy saturation. The Floyd Rose 1000 Series adds brightness and sustain while maintaining stable intonation for dive-bombs and wide vibratos. The 3-position selector covers aggressive bridge sounds, a more open middle, and a rounded neck position for singing leads or compressed cleans.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
- Nickel steel string sets .009-.042 or .009-.046: ideal tensions for a Floyd Rose vibrato, maintaining tuning stability and playing comfort.
- Standard strap 50-60 mm: compatible with classic strap buttons to secure the instrument.
- Ebony fingerboard maintenance oil (unvarnished): nourishes the fingerboard and ensures smooth playability.
