The quartersawn grain runs the length of the neck for a stronger piece of wood, and is less susceptible to shrinking, warping or splitting, while graphite-reinforcement rods flank the truss rod for even more increased neck stability. For those who prefer a fatter neck, the Wolfgang backshape is a thicker profile in comparison to the standard or modified C- shape with a .805 thickness at the 3rd fret and .890 at the 12th fret.DIRECT MOUNT EVH WOLFGANG HUMBUCKING PICKUPSNot all humbuckers are created equal. Direct mount EVH Wolfgang humbuckers with Alnico 2 magnets are hotter and harness Eddies scorching signature lead tone that captivated the world of rock n roll in the 70s and 80s. These pickups deliver rich harmonics, cutting highs and snarling mids in spades.VERSATILE SWITCHING & CONTROLSAll Wolfgang Special models come complete with a versatile control layout. Explore the tonal landscape with the three-way toggle switch, which in position one engages the bridge pickup for robust rhythm riffing. Position two engages both pickups, while position threes neck pickup is ideal for all your blistering solo needs. The volume knobs houses a 500K EVH Bourns low friction pot with treble bleed circuit for seamless swells, while the tone control with 250K EVH Bourns high friction pot keeps the knobs acutely dialed in.EVH-BRANDED FLOYD ROSE LOCKING TREM, R2 LOCKING NUT AND EVH D-TUNAEddie Van Halen was the first player to popularize the innovative Floyd Rose locking tremolo, even advising Floyd Rose on his early designs to integrate round disc finger-type tuners that you would see on a cello or violin. Now universally embraced, our EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge features our EVH logo stamped on the bridge plate, steel saddles and a solid brass block. The Floyd Rose bridge and R2 (41.8 mm) locking nut is a professional-grade double-locking design that secures the strings in the saddle and nut, providing ultimate tuning stability and dynamic tremolo action. Standard equipment on Eddies personal guitars since the early 90s, the EVH D-Tuna is a unique patented device that enables players to drop the E to D and back, in an instant.SPECSGeneralSERIES - Wolfgang SpecialORIENTATION - Right-HandCOLOR - Stealth BlackCOUNTRY OF ORIGIN - MXNeckHEADSTOCK - EVH WolfgangNECK MATERIAL - Quartersawn MapleNECK FINISH - Hand-Rubbed Satin UrethaneNECK SHAPE - Wolfgang BackshapeNECK CONSTRUCTION - Bolt-On with Graphite ReinforcementNECK THICKNESS - .805" at 3rd & .890" at 12th FretFINGERBOARD RADIUS - 12"-16" Compound Radius (304.8 mm to 406.4 mm)FINGERBOARD MATERIAL - EbonyPOSITION INLAYS - Black DotNUMBER OF FRETS - 22TRUSS ROD - EVH-Branded with WheelTRUSS 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 - BasswoodBODY FINISH - Satin UrethaneBODY SHAPE - WolfgangBODY MATERIAL - BasswoodHardwareBRIDGE - EVH-Branded Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo with EVH D-TunaTREMOLO BLOCK - BrassPICKUP COVERS- ZebraCONTROL KNOBS - Black Knurled with White IndicatorSWITCH TIP - BlackHARDWARE FINISH - BlackTUNING MACHINES - EVH-Branded GotohSTRING TREES - Floyd Rose Retainer BarSTRINGS - EVH Nickel Plated Steel (.009-.042 Gauges)TREMOLO ARM - Floyd Rose 1000 Series LockingSTRAP BUTTONS - OversizedElectronicsBRIDGE PICKUP - Direct Mount EVH Wolfgang HumbuckingNECK PICKUP - Direct Mount EVH Wolfgang HumbuckingPICKUP CONFIGURATION - HHCONTROLS - Volume (500K EVH Bourns Low Friction Pot) with Treble Bleed Circuit, Tone (250K EVH Bourns High Friction Pot)SWITCHING - 3-Position Toggle: Position 1.
