Road-tested in arenas around the world, the
Wolfgang® Special is a purebred music-making
machine, designed with stunning style, giant
sound and high-speed playability.
The Wolfgang Special QM features a basswood
body with an arched quilt maple top and a robust
graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn baked
maple neck. The neck is carved and rolled to
Eddie Van Halen’s exacting specifications and
features a hand-rubbed satin urethane finish on
the back. Primed for high performance, energetic
riffing and blazing leads, the 12”-16” compound
radius baked maple fingerboard has 22 jumbo
frets and black dot inlays. Truss rod adjustments
have also never been easier thanks to a spoke
wheel conveniently located at the base of the
neck.
A pair of flagship custom-designed EVH®
Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking pickups are
mounted directly to the body, providing dynamic
yet articulate voicing, as well as endless sustain
for powerful chords and melody lines. A sturdy
and dependable EVH-branded Floyd Rose®
locking trem and Floyd Rose locking nut work
in tandem for precise tuning even with extreme
changes in pitch, while the EVH D-Tuna® retunes
to drop-D and back with strict accuracy at the flick
of a finger. The volume knob with treble bleed
circuit has a 500K EVH Bourns® low friction pot
for smooth swells and a tone control knob with a
250K Bourns high friction tone pot that prevents
accidental tone shifting.
