The icon and guitar legend, Eddie Van Halen, combined his unparalleled instinct and innovation in instrument and amp design. Along with the expertise of the craftsmen and engineers at EVH, Eddie helped create some of the highest quality, best sounding and most durable musical instrument products available today. Boasting the distinct style and massive sound Eddie created, the Wolfgang®WG Standard Exotic features all-new exotic wood options for players with distinguished taste.
Today, EVH unleashed two more additions to the EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic line, including Poplar Burl and Laurel Burl. A glamorous new take on the classic contour, this guitar embodies the classic craftsmanship and playability that EVH is known for with distinguished new natural finishes.
The stylish design is just the tip of the iceberg. Each model comes stock with powerful direct mount humbucking pickups crafted with Eddie Van Halen’s soaring tone in mind. Thanks to the Floyd Rose Special bridge, comfortable maple fingerboard and R2 locking nut, The Wolfgang Standard Exotic is optimized for the most dexterous runs, depth defying dive bombs and scorching licks that any player could conjure up.
