■The ""Wolfgang"" from Eddie Van Halen's own brand, EVH, is finally here! During Van Halen's US tour, which began in the fall of 2007, Eddie played various prototypes every night. He repeatedly changed and adjusted parts and specifications until he was completely satisfied with the Wolfgang's sound, feel, and look. This EVH Wolfgang features the same specs as the one Eddie Van Halen uses.
■Eddie Van Halen's comment
""Everything I've built, broken, stumbled, learned, and experienced is packed into this guitar. Every spec and part on this guitar has been upgraded to the highest standard. Stainless steel frets, custom-wound potted pickups, custom-made signature tuning machines and a Floyd Rose bridge. The list goes on and on. I tried everything.""
■Eddie Van Halen exploded onto the rock music scene in 1978 with his handcrafted ""Frankenstein"" guitar. ""At the time, the guitar I needed didn't exist, so I built one that would do it,"" he says. For the next 35 years, he's continued to research and improve every aspect of the instrument. It's a deeply personal experience for him, and that's where Wolfgang was born. ""The guitar is an extension of yourself,"" he says. ""You have to be emotionally and spiritually connected to the instrument. It was like building my own guitar at home. I build guitars because so many people want the same guitar as me?you know, something available, the exact same one I play. I rebuilt this guitar from the ground up. That's why it took so long!""
