EVH Wolfgang Standard Xotic Ziricote MN Electric Guitar

General

Putting professional Eddie-grade playability within affordable reach, this edition of the EVH Wolfgang Standard Series comes fitted with an oil-coated, baked maple neck that not only raises the stability through the roof, but provides a smooth and agile feel beneath the fret-hand. To finish off the deluxe look, this iconic beast comes topped with a sumptuous slice of ziricote.

The EVH Wolfgang Standard Xotic: The Poundcake

Beneath the ziricote topping, the basswood body lays down a rich, mid-range heavy foundation sound that's further voiced by a pair of direct-mount Wolfgang humbuckers that grant direct access to the classic Brown Sound coined by Eddie Van Halen himself. As such, you can expect a fat mid-range framed by the vintage sonic character and sweet dynamic response of the fitted magnets. Since this signature axe has been built for rhythm as well as lead guitarists, it bears a compound radius that graduates from 12 inches at the headstock to 16 inches at the body, supporting a tight chord grip lower down the frets and fast and fluid licks further up. Meanwhile, the mounted Floyd Rose Special tremolo bridge and R2 locking nut back up your screaming, face-melting leads with smooth whammy-bar action and firm tuning.
