EVH Wolfgang Standard T.O.M. Baked Maple Cream White

A Wolfgang Standard Tailored for the EVH Spirit

Part of the Wolfgang lineage popularized by Eddie Van Halen, this EVH Wolfgang Standard T.O.M. embraces the fundamentals of the series: an electric guitar focused on performance, with a sleek and effective look, designed to deliver powerful sound without complications. Within the range, the Standard emphasizes value for money and efficiency in real-world conditions (rehearsal, stage, home studio), while maintaining the playability codes dear to EVH.

For Whom, and For Which Styles?

This Wolfgang is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive, fast, and stable guitar for rock, hard rock, metal, energetic punk, and all genres where tight riffs and expressive solos take center stage. Its Wolfgang Backshape neck profile and compound radius facilitate both clean chords and strong bends as well as modern lead playing.

Sound

The basswood body provides an effective balance: present mids, a consistent response, and good clarity when overdriven. The pair of EVH Wolfgang humbuckers (direct mounted into the body) enhances attack and precision, delivering a compact and powerful tone, ideal for tight palm mutes and heavy rhythms. The 3-position selector switch allows quick shifts from the sharpness of the bridge pickup to a rounder neck pickup tone, with a versatile middle position. The volume control with treble bleed circuit helps maintain clarity when lowering volume, useful for cleaning up crunch tones without losing too much high end. The T.O.M. bridge promotes comfortable sustain and a very "direct" feel.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To protect the instrument, you can choose the EVH Wolfgang Hardshell (reference 009-0916-000) or the EVH Black Gig Bag (reference 022-1512-006), both listed as compatible options. For consumables, a set of electric strings 009-042 Nickel Plated Steel matches the original gauge.
