EVH Introduces Wolfgang® Hardtail and Wolfgang Special Hardtail Guitars

by VHND — updated April 4, 2016 88 Comments

The original EVH Wolfgang USA guitar is now available in two distinctive new sans-tremolo versions—the EVH Wolfgang Hardtail and Wolfgang Special Hardtail. These are special editions of the legendary high-performance guitar that started it all, this time with the addition of a TonePros® hard-tail bridge with stop tailpiece and fine tuners for the ultimate in stable intonation and precise tuning.

The Wolfgang Hardtail features a basswood body with arched AA maple top; oil-finished quartersawn maple neck with dual graphite reinforcement rods; compound radius (12”-16”) AA birds-eye maple fingerboard with 22 vintage stainless frets, dot inlays and Floyd Rose® locking nut; five-ply black/white body and headstock binding; dual EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickups with three-position switching; EVH custom low-friction volume (500k) and high-friction tone (250k) potentiometers; chrome Schaller® string retainer; EVH-branded tuners; and EVH molded-stripe case by SKB®. Finish options include Black, Vintage White, Tobacco Burst, Black Cherry Burst and Transparent Amber.

The Wolfgang Special Hardtail has a flat-top basswood body with single-ply Ivoroid binding. It too features an oil-finished quartersawn maple neck with dual graphite reinforcement rods; compound radius (12”-16”) AA birds-eye maple fingerboard with 22 vintage stainless frets, dot inlays and Floyd Rose® locking nut; dual EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickups with three-position switching; EVH custom low-friction volume (500k) and high-friction tone (250k) potentiometers; chrome Schaller® string retainer; EVH-branded tuners; and EVH molded-stripe case by SKB®. Finish options include Black, Vintage White and Tobacco Burst.

  • LarryLurex70 LarryLurex70 That’s an interesting thing for him to say. When I go see Maiden play, it’s not to hear Dickinson sing. But, he’s always been a hell of a frontman. Kinda like someone else I’m reminded of.
