The special comfort cut forearm contour was engineered for max playing pleasure without hindering tone.12"-16" COMPOUND RADIUS BAKED MAPLE FINGERBOARDThe innovative 12"-16" compound radius baked maple fingerboard design gradually flattens toward the heel from its smaller and more rounded profile at the nut for unparalleled comfortable chording and riffing near the nut and seamless bending near the heel. Maple is a dense wood that produces bright, snappy tones, articulate notes with bite and a tight low end. Roasting the fingerboard removes moisture from the wood, making it more resistant to humidity shifts and warping.DIRECT MOUNT EVH WOLFGANG HUMBUCKING PICKUPSNot all humbuckers are created equal.

Now universally embraced, our EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo features our EVH logo stamped on the bridge plate, zinc alloy saddles and a zinc alloy sustain block. The double-locking design allows you to lock your guitar in tune at the R2 (41.8 mm) nut and at the bridge, resulting in excellent tuning stability and sustain throughout your most aggressive pull-ups and dive bombs.SPECSGeneralSERIES - Wolfgang StandardORIENTATION - Right-HandCOLOR - Black FadeCOUNTRY OF ORIGIN - IDNeckHEADSTOCK - EVH WolfgangNECK MATERIAL - Baked MapleNECK FINISH - OiledNECK SHAPE - Wolfgang BackshapeNECK CONSTRUCTION - Bolt-On with Graphite ReinforcementNECK THICKNESS - .790" at 3rd fret & .880" at 12th fretFINGERBOARD RADIUS - 12"-16" Compound Radius (304.8 mm to 406.4 mm)FINGERBOARD MATERIAL - Caramelized MaplePOSITION INLAYS - Black DotSIDE DOTS - BlackNUMBER OF FRETS - 22TRUSS ROD- Modern Heel AdjustTRUSS ROD NUT - Heel-Mount Truss Rod Adjustment WheelSTRING NUT - Floyd Rose R2 LockingNUT WIDTH - 1.625" (41.3 mm)NUT MATERIAL - Floyd Rose R2 LockingBodyBODY - PoplarBODY FINISH - Gloss UrethaneBODY SHAPE - WolfgangBODY TO - PQuilt MapleBODY BINDING - Masked Off Natural Body BindingBODY MATERIAL - PoplarHardwareBRIDGE - EVH-Branded Floyd Rose Special Locking TremoloPICKUP COVERS - BlackCONTROL KNOBS - Black Plastic with White IndicatorSWITCH TIP - BlackHARDWARE FINISH - Black ChromeTUNING MACHINES - EVH-BrandedSTRING TREES - Floyd Rose Retainer BarSTRINGS - Nickel Plated Steel (.009-.042 Gauges)TREMOLO ARM - Floyd Rose Special LockingSTRAP BUTTONS - OversizedElectronicsBRIDGE PICKUP - Direct Mount EVH Wolfgang HumbuckingNECK PICKUP - Direct Mount EVH Wolfgang HumbuckingPICKUP CONFIGURATION - HHCONTROLS - Volume with Treble Bleed Circuit, ToneSWITCHING - 3-Position Toggle: Position 1.
