EVH Wolfgang Special TOM MN Gloss Black – Performance and Precision

The EVH Wolfgang Special TOM MN Gloss Black stands out as a cutting-edge instrument for demanding guitarists. Engineered for both searing leads and intricate rhythm work, this guitar delivers superior comfort, sustain, and tonal clarity on any stage. Equipped with custom pickups, advanced neck construction, and a fully compensated bridge, this model is ideal for high-output rock and technical styles. Players who refuse to compromise on tone or reliability will appreciate what it offers.

Signature Features for Maximum Playability

What sets this instrument apart is its combination of a graphite-reinforced, quartersawn baked maple neck and direct-mount EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 pickups. You rarely find a hand-rubbed satin urethane neck finish, compound 12"–16" radius fingerboard, and fine-tuner-equipped bridge together in this tier, giving it a uniquely player-focused feel.

Neck Construction and Playing Comfort

Musicians benefit from a neck designed for speed, stability, and effortless transitions. Thanks to the graphite reinforcement, the neck stays true through climate changes, while jumbo frets and rolled edges make long sessions comfortable.

• Neck Material: Quartersawn baked maple, graphite-reinforced — extreme durability and smooth feel
• Fingerboard Radius: 12"–16" (304.8–406.4 mm) compound — supports both chording and high-speed solos
• Easy bends and precise intonation are supported by the 22 jumbo frets

Body and Bridge for Tone and Sustain

The arched basswood body and compensated TOM bridge with fine tuners provide a solid foundation for resonance, sustain, and accurate tuning even under aggressive playing styles.

• Body: Basswood with arched top — lightweight and balanced tonal response
• Bridge: Fully adjustable compensated TOM with fine tuner tailpiece — rock-solid tuning and intonation
• Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut (41.3 mm width) enhances smooth tuning stability

Pickup Configuration and Electronics

This instrument is loaded with custom direct-mount EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbuckers for full-bodied, articulate tones and a treble bleed circuit to retain clarity at any volume. High friction and low friction Bourns pots offer precise, accidental-free control in performance settings.

• Controls: Volume (500K Bourns low friction pot with treble bleed), Tone (250K Bourns high friction pot)
