Tested on stages around the world, the Wolfgang® Special is a true music-making machine, designed with stunning style, massive sound, and high-speed playability.
The Wolfgang Special features a basswood body with an arched top, and a sturdy graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck crafted to Eddie Van Halen's specifications, featuring a hand-rubbed satin urethane finish on the back. Optimized for energetic riffing and blazing leads, the 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays. The heel-mount truss rod adjustment spoke wheel conveniently located at the base of the neck makes adjustments a breeze.
A pair of custom-designed EVH® Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking pickups are mounted directly to the body, providing dynamic yet articulate voicing and endless sustain for powerful chords and melody lines. The sturdy EVH-branded Floyd Rose® locking tremolo and Floyd Rose locking nut work together for precise tuning, even with extreme pitch changes, while the EVH D-Tuna® retunes from drop-D and back with strict accuracy at the flick of a finger. The volume knob with a 500K EVH Bourns® low-friction pot allows for smooth swells, and a tone control knob with a 250K Bourns® high-friction pot prevents accidental tone shifting.
