EVH 5150 Series Deluxe 6-String Electric Guitar with Baked Maple Fingerboard and Basswood Body (Black)

<p>Engineered for speed, comfort and full-throttle attitude, the reimagined <strong>5150 Series DX</strong> is an iconic blast from the past that blends both throwback and modernized features.</p><p>Like its predecessor, the 5150 DX features a modified Strat-style basswood body with a deeper upper body curve. The graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn baked maple neck features a comfortable modified C profile, hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel and hockey stick headstock with EVH logo decal. Built for smooth and speedy playability, the 12-16 inch compound radius baked maple fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays.</p><p>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. 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. The newly added lower bout momentary switch lets you instantly mute your guitar, making it easy to create stuttered, rhythmic effects—perfect for tones reminiscent of 'You Really Got Me'.</p><p>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.</p><h3>Features</h3><ul><li>25.5 inch scale length</li><li>Modified Strat-style basswood body with deeper upper body curve</li><li>Graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn baked maple neck</li><li>Neck is carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen's specifications</li><li>Hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish</li><li>12-16 inch compound radius baked maple fingerboard</li><li>22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays</li><li>Convenient heel-mount truss rod adjustment spoke wheel</li><li>Direct mount EVH Wolfgang bridge and neck humbucking pickups</li><li>Top-mount EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge and R3 locking nut</li><li>EVH D-Tuna</li><li>Three-way toggle switch, volume control (500K EVH Bourns Low Friction Pot)</li><li>Treble bleed circuit and tone control (250K EVH Bourns High Friction Pot)</li><li>Available in Gloss Black</li><li>With hockey stick headstock and all-chrome hardware</li><li>EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines</li></ul>
