Signature electric guitar with quilted maple top and Floyd Rose Special Tremolo
With the EVH Wolfgang Standard Quilt Maple Transparent Amber, Eddie van Halen presents a particularly chic interpretation of the Wolfgang electric guitar, offering many of the features of its much more expensive siblings at an extremely affordable price. Accordingly, the electric guitar has a linden body with a quilted maple top, whose intense grain is perfectly highlighted by the transparent green finish. The bolt-on maple neck with its typical "Wolfgang" profile and compound fretboard radius offers absolutely comfortable playability, so that even the most virtuoso riffs and tapping orgies come naturally. Two EVH Wolfgang Humbuckers provide a burning sound on the guitar amp, which retains its contour even with the most extreme distortion and accurately reproduces every note. Of course, the EVH Wolfgang Standard Quilt Maple Transparent Amber is equipped with the Floyd Rose Special Double Locking Tremolo, which allows even the most brutal uses of the Whammy Bar without any detuning.
The EVH Wolfgang Standard Quilt Maple Transparent Amber convinces with extremely hot sounds and an extremely high playing comfort.

EVH Wolfgang WG Standard Quilt Maple Transparent Amber
Couldn’t be happier with the Wolfgang standard. Nothing needs to be upgraded, the pickups are exceptional, as good as my Duncan’s in other guitar. The fit and finish is perfect, the floyd is durable, the build is solid. I love the quilted top. The headstock looks a bit odd but the functionality of it is flawless. The neck is smooth and fast, like a fender but with a compound radius board which is a joy to play. I’ve barely put it down, I bought it as a decent backup to my main Strat but it is quite clearly becoming my number one, I just love playing it and it sounds perfect. The next model up is twice as much but comes with stainless steel frets and is built in a more costly factory. If I had the money for the higher end model I would be torn between buying that or two of the standard, genuinely it’s a gig ready tool which doesn’t look as fancy as some guitars but is far more playable than any I’ve tried.

WOW, Blown away! I have had many guitars over 28 years of playing, i own some expensive guitars, NONE play as well as this! ....and it's straight out the box, all i have done is tune it. and it will only get better with time. for the price paid and quick delivery i can't fault dv247.com great work guys and an amazing product. (might as well sell my Stratocaster and Les Pauls) I'll come back and use your service again when i can afford a Wolfgang USA Stripe.

My first professional guitar and i love it, feels great, sounds great, the bridge is floating a bit in E standard and sits in E flat, the jack socket is very tight and strong, it looks small but the neck is actually 1,5cm longer than my other guitar so a little bit hard to reach everything at the moment :)
My problems so far is when i opened the package the locking nut parts just fell off, maybe they were just shaken out during the delivery i dont know but miraculously they didn't scratch the guitar. I had a ground issue in my apartment and it seems the guitar bridge ground is disconnected from the jack and pickup switch. And there is an oil spill like dirty dot in the back of the neck which is a little bit annoying...
