The Wolfgang® Special has been rigorously tested on stages in arenas globally. It's a top - notch music - making machine with eye - catching style, powerful sound, and excellent high - speed playability. The Wolfgang Special QM features a basswood body topped with an arched quilt maple. Its graphite - reinforced bolt - on quartersawn baked maple neck is carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen's strict standards and has a hand - rubbed satin urethane finish on the back. The 12' - 16' compound radius baked maple fingerboard, with 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays, is perfect for high - performance playing, energetic riffs, and fast leads. Adjusting the truss rod is a breeze thanks to the spoke wheel at the neck base. Two custom - designed EVH® Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking pickups are directly mounted on the body, delivering dynamic and clear tones with long - lasting sustain for chords and melodies. The EVH - branded Floyd Rose® locking trem and Floyd Rose locking nut ensure precise tuning even with big pitch changes. The EVH D - Tuna® allows for accurate retuning to drop - D and back easily. The volume knob with a treble bleed circuit uses a 500K EVH Bourns® low - friction pot for smooth swells, and the tone control knob with a 250K Bourns high - friction pot prevents accidental tone shifts.
