Throughout early February, Eddie Van Halen will be appearing in several media outlets chatting about the new EVH "Wolfgang" guitar, his most recent line of EVH products, and giving fans an unparalleled look into his world.
The brand new EVH "Wolfgang" guitar, debuted January 15 at the 2009 NAMM show in Anaheim, CA to a truly amazing reception and created one of the biggest buzzes at the show attended by musical instrument retailers from around the world.

Since its introduction just two weeks ago, the all new EVH Wolfgang guitar is blowing people away, with the massive demand far exceeding all original estimates.
The guitar, which Eddie road tested nightly on the critically acclaimed, highly successful Van Halen 2007-2008 North American tour, boasts loads of features. Among them are stainless steel frets, double-potted custom-wound pickups, five-piece binding on the matching body and headstock, custom-made signature tuning machines and Floyd Rose bridge, and new low-friction pots. Also coming soon is the brand new, D2H (Drop To Hell) Tailpiece.
