A high-performance, EVH-approved axe for working musicians? That's the EVH Wolfgang Standard in a nutshell. In fact, this eminently gig-worthy solidbody electric guitar has what it takes to be your new number one. The WG Standard is built around a solid basswood body, which is the perfect conduit for its tone-infused, cradle-rocking EVH Wolfgang humbuckers. You'll be blown away by the just-right feel of the WG Standard's baked maple neck, and its compound-radius fingerboard ensures a lightning-fast playability that's downright addictive. You also get an EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special tremolo ? a must-have piece of hardware for stadium-worthy hard rock. The Wolfgang Standard is topped off with black knurled control knobs and a sleek satin urethan finish.





The consummate performance-centric electric guitar





If you're searching for the perfect platform for your fretboard wizardry, you're in the right place. The Wolfgang Standard is the axe of your dreams. The WG Standard exhibits a growling, mid-forward acoustic tone centered around a solid basswood body with enough definition to cut through a hard-rocking band. Beyond that, the WG Standard features a bolt-on baked maple neck with a nice, oiled feel and a fast-playing compound-radius 22-fret fingerboard.

Scorching-hot, direct-mount EVH Wolfgang pickups





The EVH Wolfgang Standard comes equipped with direct-mount Wolfgang humbuckers. These scorching-hot pickups offer a first-class ticket to Edward Van Halen's elusive tone. We'll give you fair warning: plug this solidbody electric guitar into your high-gain amplifier of choice, and you'll be bowled over with singing highs, snarling mids, and fat lows ? a.k.a., the legendary brown sound ? with all the amp-punishing output you can handle. The WG Standard includes a volume knob with a treble-bleed circuit to maintain shimmering highs at low settings, plus a tone knob and a 3-way pickup toggle switch.





Rock-solid EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special tremolo





No self-respecting EVH disciple can resist King Edward's trademark squeals and dive-bombs. Accordingly, the Wolfgang Standard is set to stun with an EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo. Whether you give it a slight nudge for a subtle vibrato or abuse it for full-blown pitch pyrotechnics, you'll experience the same response and tuning stability that you'd expect from a Floyd Rose. We've subjected the WG Standard to a fair share of aggressive treatment here at Sweetwater, and it hit the ground runnin' ? it's rock solid all the way.
