Built to Eddie Van Halen's exacting standards, the EVH Wolfgang WG Standard QM is brimming with playability and ferocious tone. And it's supremely eye-catching, thanks to its gorgeous quilt maple top. Dual direct-mounted EVH Wolfgang humbuckers yield a distinctive woody character and ample sustain. The Wolfgang's 1-piece bolt-on maple neck is reinforced with graphite rods, ensuring maximum stability and resistance to temperature and humidity. An EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special tremolo and locking nut maintain intonation ? even after extreme dive-bombing. The EVH Wolfgang WG Standard QM reflects a commitment to quality worthy of the extraordinary guitarist it's named after.





A rock machine that's built for serious fretwork





At Sweetwater, we've been consistently impressed by EVH guitars, and the Wolfgang WG Standard QM is no exception. From its basswood body to its maple neck and fingerboard, this guitar just screams quality. This amazing guitar is made for serious playing, with a compound-radius fingerboard, an EVH Floyd Rose bridge and locking nut, and direct-mounted EVH humbuckers. You also get two domed black knobs for total control over your tone and volume and ultra-stable EVH tuners. All the components come together to make a high-performance electric guitar.

Graphite-reinforced neck for stability and playability





The neck is one of the most important aspects of any instrument, which is why this EVH Wolfgang WG Standard QM's bolt-on neck is reinforced with graphite, offering amazing stability. You'll also love the playability and feel of the compound-radius fretboard on this Wolfgang WG Standard. The fretboard radius goes from 12" at the nut to a comfortable and flat 16" radius on the upper frets.





Floyd Rose tremolo allows for twisting, bending, and huge dive-bombs





First gaining popularity in the 1980s, the Floyd Rose tremolo's locking design keeps your guitar in tune ? even if you like to perform extreme pitch pyrotechnics. You can force the whammy bar all the way down to the guitar's body for psychotic dive-bombing. No matter how hard you're shredding, you'll maintain your tuning stability, thanks to the Floyd Rose tremolo's locking design.
