EVH Wolfgang Special Electrical Guitar with Floyd Rose and D-Tuna Features
Basswood body
Direct Mount Wolfgang Zebra Humbucking pickups
Ebony Fingerboard
EVH-branded Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo
EVH D-Tuna system – can quickly retune to Drop-D and back
Low-friction volume knobs
The robust graphite-reinforced quartersawn maple neck—carved and rolled to EVH’s exacting specifications—supports a speedy 12”-16” compound radius maple fingerboard, facilitating energetic riffing and blazing leads. Twenty-two jumbo frets take every bend with ease without affecting the guitar’s natural tone, allowing every note to ring true. The crystal-clear Custom Designed EVH Wolfgang Humbucking pickups are mounted directly to the basswood body, supplying girth and sparkle, as well as near-endless sustain to power chords and melody lines. The rock-solid EVH-branded Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo combines with the Floyd Rose Locking nut to maintain precise tuning, no matter how insane your whammy-bar histrionics get. The EVH D-Tuna retunes to Drop-D and back with strict accuracy at the mere flick of a finger, making this the only electric guitar you’ll need onstage (your tech will thank you, trust us).
Every component of the guitar has been selected and positioned for high-speed playing. The low-friction volume knob lets you perform speedy violin-like volume swells with ease while the tone knob resists easy turning—avoiding unwanted tonal shifts as your picking hand flies furiously across the strings. The EVH DNA injected into this monster of a guitar makes the Wolfgang Special a hard-rocking machine that begs to be unchained so you can tear it up!
Warranty: Limited Lifetime on Guitars; 5 Years, transferrable on Amps; Call 732-918-7001 for D-Tuna warranty

Top Notch gear
This has to be one ont the best guitars at this price out there. Absolutely top notch, sounds and plays great. This guitar absolutely rocks through a EVH 5150 iconic with a 4x12 cab.

Extreme clarity and versatility
One of, if not the best sounding guitar I own. It is extremely bright and articulate. Great for high gain and it cleans up surprisingly well. I have the Standard Exotic model, but the Special provides so much more clarity, especially for downtuning. I will be looking to buy another.

This is one of the best guitars I’ve purchased in years!
If you have any reservations about this guitar don’t second guess it, it’s great! I’ve purchased many guitars in the past 30 years and few have been as well built and set up right out of the box.
