DISC EVH Wolfgang USA Custom Relic Electric Guitar, Vintage Burst

Full Description

Wolfgang Custom Humbuckers

Featuring custom designed Wolfgang humbucking pickups the USA Custom Relic delivers fierce and screaming highs, defined middle and deep and chunky low end allowing you to truly nail the legend Eddie Van Halen's signature tone. Loaded with Alnico II magnets and DC resistance of 14k (bridge) and 16k (neck) the Wolfgang custom humbuckers are perfect for a range of playing styles due to their medium output and powerful vintage tone.

Set-In Neck Construction

The EVH USA Custom Relic utilizes an attractive set-in neck construction to provide an advanced playability and optimized resonance transfer between the neck and body. Unlike bolt-on constructions set-in necks can be sculpted into a smoother and ergonomic heel allowing seamless accessibility to the higher register.

Fine Tuner Hardtail Bridge & Locking Nut

Unlike most tailpieces the EVH Custom Relic incorporates an innovative fine tuning tailpiece, a feature normally only found on guitars with Floyd rose tremolos. The inclusion of these fine tuners allows super accurate tuning adjustments often difficult with standard tuning machines. Additionally the Floyd Rose R2 locking nut system is also usually only featured on guitars with floating tremolo's as it allows advanced tuning stability when adjusting string tension with the tremolo.

This unique fusion of floating tremolo technology with a fixed bridge provides the ultimate tuning stability and accuracy. The locking nuts ensure your selected tuning is held regardless of huge bends and string strain whilst the fine tuners allow minor and fine tuning adjustments.

Compound Radius Neck

The EVH USA Custom Relic features a unique and innovative compound-radius fretboard design, in which the fretboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This provides a smooth playability for both chords and riffs whilst the flattened heel allows a sensational and speedy accessibility to the higher register perfect for both lead and rhythm players.
