The Spirit of Van Halen Lives on

Edward Van Halen’s contributions to the electric guitar are undeniable, and the EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic Bocote Electric Guitar delivers the massive sound and road-tested durability befitting of its legendary namesake. EVH humbuckers in the bridge and neck unleash a blistering yet clear sound. The basswood body and baked maple neck combine for excellent sustain and durability, with a silky baked maple fingerboard ideal for finger-twisting runs and searing leads. It wouldn’t be an EVH guitar without a tremolo capable of intense action, and the Floyd Rose is perfect for deep dives while keeping your tuning in check. Plus, the bocote top is sure to turn heads with its distinguished, natural good looks. The EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic is on fire — pick one up and unleash your creativity while channeling the spirit of a true rock icon.

World-class electronics worthy of a guitar legend

Run through the wringer and approved by the man himself, EVH humbuckers are a standard in all Wolfgang Standard Exotic guitars. Alnico 2 humbuckers in the bridge and neck go from singing highs to screaming leads with ease, courtesy of a 3-way toggle. To achieve that perfect Van Halen tone, the Wolfgang Standard Exotic is outfitted with a treble bleed in the volume pot to retain rich highs at all guitar volumes.

Top-quality construction made for heavy use

To deliver his virtuosic performances on arena stages the world over, Eddie Van Halen demanded a lot from his instruments. This expectation for high quality is built directly into the Wolfgang Standard Exotic series, which is crafted with resonant tonewoods and additional reinforcement for superior playability and rock-solid durability. Sweetwater guitarists love the Wolfgang Standard Exotic's comfortable, lightweight basswood body, offering a well-balanced tone and extra beefiness in the midrange. If you’re in the market for incredible resonance and sustain, the Wolfgang Standard Exotic's baked maple neck more than delivers, with graphite reinforcement adding additional stability. With its smooth feel and player-friendly comfort, the baked maple fingerboard is primed for a sonic eruption across all 22 jumbo frets.

Bend your tone to oblivion with a Floyd Rose locking trem

It’s nearly impossible to play any of EVH’s legendary solos without the use of a dependable, heavy-duty tremolo. Appropriately, the Wolfgang Standard Exotic comes stock with a tried-and-true Floyd Rose locking trem — perfect for dive-bombs, squeals, and bends all while keeping your strings in tune.

EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic Bocote Electric Guitar Features:

  • Designed and approved by Eddie Van Halen himself
  • Alnico 2 humbuckers produce searing Van Halen tone
  • Lightweight basswood body adds sustain and resonance
  • Stylish bocote top adds additional visual flair

Made me love playing again!

So I purchased this guitar on a whim. I've been a Les Paul guy for quite some time and wanted something different. I did some research and heard it was great bang for your buck guitar from some and others saying it was just okay. Well, I can tell you that I absolutely loved the guitar! So much so that I went out and bought another one. Both required minor setup but once they are good, they are both so good! I have since tried a few others and am eyeing an EVH relic for my next EVH. I hadn't been playing much guitar but now all I want to do is play this guitar. If you're on the fence, take the leap. It's a great price for such a fantastic guitar!
Rated 5/5

This guitar is fun!

From the moment that I pulled this baby out of the box I fell in love. The neck is beautiful and a pleasure to play. The body fits like it was made for me. I put a d-tuna on and started rocking. Immediately became a favorite in my collection.
