Smooth, speedy playability
Designed for speed and comfort, the EVH 5150 is built for smooth and speedy playability. Its 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard provides a comfortable surface with a gradual curve that makes it easy to navigate the fretboard. With twenty-two jumbo frets and cream dot inlays, this guitar is perfect for shredding and intricate solos. The neck is constructed with a bolt-on design, ensuring stability, and allowing for easy adjustments. From fast and aggressive riffs to delicate melodic lines, this guitar offers unmatched playability.
Discover the power of Wolfgang pickups
Unlike its predecessor, this guitar is equipped with custom-designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucker pickups that are tailored to cater to the needs of modern musicians, providing a range of tones suitable for various music genres. And with the three-way toggle switch on the upper bout, you can easily switch between pickup configurations and achieve your desired tonal range.
The bridge pickup is designed to produce punchy and articulate tones with sweet sustain, perfect for heavy riffing and lead playing, as it is capable of producing crystal-clear notes even at high volume levels. On the other hand, the neck pickup provides no-nonsense overdrive and endless sustain, making it ideal for generating smooth and soulful harmonics. Experiment with different styles and genres.
Enhanced control and versatility
Designed with enhanced control and versatility in mind. The guitar is equipped with a volume with a treble bleed circuit, allowing you to retain high-end clarity even when you roll back the output. This is complemented by a high friction tone knob, which stays in place even if accidentally bumped, giving you precise control over your voicing. Another exciting feature is the lower bout kill switch, which allows you to create stuttering and rhythmic effects similar to the iconic "You Really Got Me". Discover endless possibilities for creating your own unique sound.
Pure perfection with every detail
Also featured on this model are high-quality hardware that enhances its performance. The guitar features an EVH-branded top-mount Floyd Rose bridge with a locking tailpiece. This "dive-bomb" certified bridge allows for smooth and controlled whammy bar usage, while the fine tuners ensure precise tuning adjustments for each string. What's more, the patented EVH D-Tuna is also included, allowing you to switch from standard tuning to drop-D tuning with ease.
