Overview
Boasting the style and massive sound Eddie Van Halen is known for, the Wolfgang WG Standard Exotic features exotic wood options for players with distinguished taste.
The Wolfgang WG Standard Exotic features a basswood body with special "comfort cut" forearm contour for maximum playing ease, along with attractive masked-off natural body binding and a unique poplar burl top. Its one-piece bolt-on baked maple neck with graphite reinforcement rods hold strong against the ravages of temperature and humidity, while a conveniently located spoke wheel at the base of the neck makes for quick and painless truss rod adjustments.
Designed for comfortable playability and speed, this stylish axe also features an oiled neck back finish and a 12"-16" compound radius baked maple fingerboard with rolled edges, 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays.
Dual EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickups mounted directly to the body increase vibration transfer, resulting in sustain for days on end. Two domed control knobs have been dialed-in to Van Halen's exacting specifications -- the smooth-feeling 500k pots make it easy to find a unique sound while retaining the crisp high-end sparkle of the Wolfgang pickups. The EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special bridge and R2 locking nut consistently keep the instrument in tune through the deepest whammy dives and horse whinnies.

Great playing guitar, wasn't a surprise really but it was a nice surprise if that makes sense. Guitar came out of box in tune almost, tuned to concert E, I gave it a quick fine tune, plugged it up, floored the amp out in the warehouse and man all I could think was I can hear detail things you can't hear with most guitars. It really plays smooth, the wood on the neck is so right on the money. Sustain all day long, selector set up you really get a versatile guitar and the tone control is very distinct and wide ranging. The guitar stayed in tune and I gave it a good thrashing for an hour. No buyers remorse here!
Musical Background:
I've been playing Guitar 30 years, who's a pro? matter of taste and opinion really
Musical Style:
Blues Rock, Rock-70's-80's-90's
