EVH Striped Series Electric Guitar Hardshell Case with Red Plush Molded Interior (Black)
The best way to transport or store your EVH Stripe Series guitar is with the EVH Striped Series Electric Guitar Hardshell Case. It features a red plush molded interior. A single storage compartment is perfect for straps, cables, picks, or any other accessories. The exterior features molded stripes, an EVH logo, and durable TSA latches.
EVH 5150 Series Standard 6-String Electric Guitar with Ebony Fingerboard (Right-Handed, Black)
Engineered for speed, comfort, and full-throttle attitude, the reimagined EVH 5150 Series Standard 6-String Electric Guitar from the past blends both throwback and modernized features. Like its predecessor, the 5150 Standard features a modified Strat-style basswood body with a deeper upper body curve. The graphite-reinforced bolt-on Quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable modified C profile, hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel, and color matched color-matched hockey stick headstock with EVH logo decal. Built for smooth and speedy playability, the 12-16 inch compound radius ebony fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays. While the famed striped original had a single humbucking bridge pickup only, the all-new 5150 is outfitted with an HH pickup configuration controlled by a three-way toggle switch on the upper bout.
Mechanism
The custom-designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking bridge pickup delivers the perfect amount of punch and articulation with sweet sustain and thick chunky rhythms in a perfectly balanced EQ curve. The EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucker neck pickup serves up no-nonsense, balls-to-the-wall overdrive, and endless sustain without skimping on articulate cleans when the volume is rolled down. A custom-designed low-friction volume knob creates even-volume tapering for the smoothest volume swells, while the high-friction tone knob will stay in place even if accidentally bumped. An added new feature comes in the way of a lower bout kill switch, allowing you to mute your guitar for those s, rhythmic effects. Decked out with a dive-bomb certified EVH-branded top-mount Floyd Rose bridge, the locking tailpiece features fine tuners for each string and a patented EVH D-Tuna for switching back and forth from drop-D to standard tuning in an instant. A high-octane, high-performance axe, the 5150 Standard boasts spotlight-ready style in an all-new Black Stealth finish with all-black hardware, including the EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines. stuttering
Modified Strat-Style Body with Deeper Upper Body Curve
Reminiscent of the early super-Strat body styles, this modified Strat-style body features a deeper upper body curve that hugs your frame for increased performance comfort.
12-16 Inch Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard
The innovative 12-16 Inch compound radius design features a fingerboard that gradually flattens toward the heel from its smaller and more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for unparalleled comfortable chording and riffing near the nut and precise shred articulation and bending near the heel. A premium wood, ebony has very tight wood grains and creates a slick and fast-playing surface. Ebony fingerboards are known for their clear and crisp attack and are favored by guitarists looking for a sharp top end, pleasing brightness, and articulate mid-range.
Direct Mount EVH Wolfgang Humbucking Pickups
Not all humbuckers are created equal. Direct mount EVH Wolfgang humbuckers with Alnico 2 magnets are hotter and harness Eddie’s scorching signature lead tone that captivated the world of rock n roll in the 70s and 80s. These pickups deliver rich harmonics, cutting highs and snarling mids in spades.
Versatile Control Layout and Switching
Explore the tonal landscape with the upper bout three-way toggle switch, which in position one engages the bridge pickup for robust rhythm riffing. Position two engages both pickups, while position three’s neck pickup provides a warmer tone for leads. The volume knobs house a 500K EVH Bourns low friction pot with a treble bleed circuit for seamless swells, while the tone control with 250K EVH Bourns high friction pot will stay in place even if accidentally nudged. A killswitch on the lower bout blocks the signal from the guitar to the amp, temporarily stopping noise output as long as the switch is pressed down. This feature adds an expressive stutter and rhythmic effect to performances.
EVH-Branded Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo, R3 Locking Nut, and EVH D-Tuna
Eddie Van Halen was the first player to popularize the innovative Floyd Rose locking tremolo, even advising Floyd Rose on his early designs to integrate round disc finger-type tuners that you would see on a cello or violin. Now universally embraced, the EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge features the EVH logo stamped on the bridge plate, steel saddles, and a solid brass block. The Floyd Rose bridge and R3 (43 mm) locking nut is a professional-grade double-locking design that secures the strings in the saddle and nut, providing ultimate tuning stability and dynamic tremolo action. Standard equipment on Eddie’s guitars since the early 90s, the EVH D-Tuna is a unique patented device that enables players to drop the E to D and back, in an instant.
