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 Stealth Black finish with all-black hardware, including the EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines.

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.
