The spell cast by Edward Van Halen shows few signs of losing its grip on guitar players, witnessed by the continual launch of new gear from the Fender-based EVH.
For 2017, EVH fans will find an EVH Wolfgang USA Edward Van Halen Signature, EVH Striped Series 5150, EVH Wolfgang Special Striped Black and Yellow and the EVH 5150III 15W LBXII Head.
The Wolfgang USA Edward Van Halen Signature model is loaded with Eddie Van Halen’s most up-to-date specs along with classic looks. The basswood body features a big-leaf maple top and five-ply binding, while the bolt-on quartersawn maple neck is sculpted to Eddie’s precise neck profile specs, with graphite reinforcement and a hand-rubbed back finish for smooth, fast playability. The compound-radius (12”-16”) ebony fingerboard has 22 vintage stainless steel frets, pearloid (Ivory finish) or dot (Stealth finish) inlays, and a convenient heel-mounted spoke wheel truss adjustment. It comes with custom EVH pickups (of course) with a reverse oriented three-way toggle switch.
EVH also added a new Striped Series 5150 model based on his original instrument, while the EVH 5150III LBXII is a 15 Watt guitar amp head that is effectively version II of EVH’s lunchbox amp.
