Boasting all the time-tested features of a traditional Wolfgang Standard, the Wolfgang WG Standard Exotic Black Walnut elevates EVH’s iconic rock-solid rocker with a premium top. Underneath the fine top lies a poplar body ? a tonewood favored for its light weight and midrange-forward bite. Next, two direct-mount EVH Wolfgang Humbucking pickups supply nearly endless sustain for all manner of fingerboard fireworks, naturally excelling at high-octane riffage and liquid-like solos. You also get an R2 locking nut and EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special bridge for squealing dive bombs and expressive vibrato. An ultra-high-performance baked maple neck with a matching 12-16-inch baked maple fingerboard seals the deal, providing peak playability courtesy of its 22 jumbo frets and comfortably rolled edges.





Built for serious playing





From its poplar body to its maple neck and fingerboard, the WG Standard Exotic Black Walnut screams quality and high performance. Made for serious playing, this amazing guitar features a compound-radius fingerboard, an EVH Floyd Rose bridge and locking nut, and direct-mounted EVH humbuckers. You also get two black plastic knobs for total control over your tone and volume and super-stable EVH tuners.

Ultra-stable 2-piece bolt-on neck





The neck is one of the most important aspects of any instrument, which is why this WG Standard Exotic Black Walnut's 2-piece bolt-on neck offers such superlative stability. You'll also love the playability and feel of the compound-radius fretboard on this Wolfgang. The fretboard radius goes from 12 inches at the nut to a comfortable and flat 16-inch 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 yank it, you'll maintain your tuning stability, thanks to the Floyd Rose tremolo's locking design.
