EVH Wolfgang Striped Special Ebo Red Black White

A Wolfgang Special Striped: EVH DNA, iconic look, and modern efficiency

The Wolfgang Special Striped embodies the "hot-rodded" spirit dear to EVH: a guitar designed to respond instantly to the picking hand, handle heavy distortion, and maintain perfect tuning stability. Its striped aesthetic, black headstock, and chrome hardware complete an instrument with a strong character, ready for both stage and studio.

For whom and for which styles?

This Wolfgang is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a high-performance electric guitar for rock, hard rock, and more modern styles requiring a locking vibrato. The compound radius facilitates energetic rhythms at the lower frets while making bends and lead playing smoother higher up, ideal for expressive solos and fast runs.

Sound

The basswood body offers an effective balance: present mids, even response, and an ideal foundation for distortion. The EVH Wolfgang humbuckers in Direct Mount configuration enhance immediacy (more direct attack, solid lows, clear highs) and promote long sustain, perfect for power chords, harmonics, and singing lines. The electronics are designed for playability: low friction volume for quick swells, high friction tone to avoid accidental bumps, and a simple, effective 3-position selector to switch from the bridge's sharpness to the neck's warmth.

Recommended compatible accessories

The guitar comes with an EVH Wolfgang/Striped Series gig bag and a 2.5 mm hex wrench. To maintain the original feel, you can stick with a 9-42 gauge set (nickel plated steel type) identical to the factory-installed strings.
