Exclusively from our team of talented craftsmen in Japan, EVH® brings you the MIJ EVH Signature Wolfgang® model, which comes loaded with Eddie Van Halen’s preferred touring specs and the behemoth and versatile sound expected from an instrument bearing his name.
The basswood body features a big leaf maple arched top and five-ply binding, while the bolt-on quartersawn maple neck is sculpted to Eddie’s precise specs, with graphite reinforcement for the ultimate protection against climate-induced warping, hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish for smooth, fast playability and a heel-mount truss rod spoke wheel for quicker neck adjustments when needed.
