The Wolfgang® WG Standard QM offers the signature style and powerful sound crafted by Eddie Van Halen, all at an affordable price for every musician. This guitar shares many great features with its costlier counterparts. It has a basswood body with a special 'comfort cut' forearm contour for easy playing, plus an eye - catching masked - off natural body binding and a beautiful quilt maple top. The bolt - on baked maple neck, reinforced with graphite rods, resists temperature and humidity changes. A spoke wheel at the neck base allows for quick truss rod adjustments.

The dual EVH® Wolfgang humbucking pickups mounted directly to the body enhance vibration transfer, providing long - lasting sustain. The black knurled tone and volume control knobs are set to Van Halen's specifications, and the 500k pots make it easy to find a unique sound while keeping the bright high - end of the pickups.
