They're made with sheer quality. Wolfgang humbuckers are highly sought after because of their tight, articulate response and incredible dynamism. Offering a high level of output and being made from alnico 2 magnets, you'll be able to dial in anything from a super saturated, high-gain voicing to one which is crystal clean and pure – both ends of the spectrum will sound incredible. You'll be able to conquer any genre with this pairing.
The bridge pickup is powerful and punchy, giving each note you play a sharp, defined voicing. Chords and riffs will be pushed to the front of the mix, and you'll be able to make them ring out with vigour. Then there's the neck pickup, which is still ultra-powerful, but has a slightly smooth, more rounded voicing. It sounds great for lead lines and solos, making them stand out and glisten. It's no wonder they're called Wolfgang pickups – they'll bring out the master musician inside you.
No barriers. The EVH 5150 was made for exceptionally fast playing. You'll find that the quarter-sawn modified 'C' shape maple neck feels exceptionally comfortable in your hand – you'll be free to play in your own style. And the compound radius ebony fretboard only adds to this, being superbly smooth and sweet to the touch. You can make your notes sing thanks to the maple's bright resonance, which will give your riffs even more tightness and crispness. Whether you want to play as fast as lightning or go at a slower pace, these superb tools will help you achieve everything you desire on the instrument.
For the Floyd Rose fanatics. This guitar comes with a high-quality Floyd Rose tremolo system, so you can go wild with the whammy bar. Because of the locking system, you can bend notes to a ridiculous degree without harming your tuning. And you can throw those magic divebombs into your riffs at will. This is an instrument for true performers.
