Evh Wolfgang Special LTD DIV

Evh Wolfgang Special LTD DIV review

The Evh Wolfgang Special LTD DIV is a solid-body electric guitar built around a basswood body, a bolt-on maple neck, and two direct-mount humbuckers. The supplied specifications also identify the body wood as linden, another name for basswood. Its Distressed Ivory Satin finish, ebony fingerboard, and chrome hardware give the instrument a defined visual specification, while the Floyd Rose locking tremolo and Drop-D tuning device point to a setup designed for players who use vibrato and alternate tunings.

The listed price is $1,590, and the model has been available since September 2026. There are no customer reviews available, so this assessment is based solely on the published specifications. Those details establish what the guitar includes, but they cannot confirm its sound, tuning stability in use, build quality, or comfort beyond the stated measurements.

Neck and fingerboard specifications

The neck is quarter-sawn maple with graphite reinforcement and a satin urethane finish. It attaches to the body with a bolt-on joint and uses the Wolfgang Backshape profile. The stated thickness is 20.45 mm at the third fret and 22.61 mm at the twelfth fret. These measurements indicate a neck that becomes thicker toward the body, though they do not describe its shoulder shape or how it will feel in a player's hand.

A heel-mounted adjustment dial provides access to the truss rod. This places the adjustment point at the neck heel rather than at the headstock. The fingerboard is ebony, with white pearloid dot inlays and 22 jumbo frets. Its compound radius changes from 12 inches to 16 inches, or 304.8 mm to 406.4 mm, along the board. The nut measures 41.3 mm wide, and the scale length is 648 mm, equivalent to 25.5 inches.

The longer radius near the upper frets is a measurable feature, but the specifications alone do not establish how easily the guitar will bend notes or how it will feel for chords. Likewise, the jumbo fret size identifies the fret format without specifying fret material or finish work.

Pickups and controls

The pickup configuration is HH, with an EVH Wolfgang AL2 humbucker at the bridge and an EVH Wolfgang AL3 humbucker at the neck. Both are direct-mounted. The available data does not provide output measurements, magnet type, or frequency response, so claims about their exact tonal character would go beyond the evidence.

The control layout includes a three-way pickup switch, a kill switch, a 1,500 K volume control, and a 1,250 K EVH Bourns tone control. The volume control is specified as low-friction and includes a treble-bleed circuit. The tone control has high friction. These descriptions explain the intended control behavior, but no further information is given about the taper or the effect of the tone circuit across its range.

Locking tremolo and hardware

The vibrato system is a Floyd Rose 1000 locking tremolo with a brass block and an R2 clamp saddle. The guitar also includes an EVH D-Tune device for Drop-D tuning, EVH Gotoh machine heads, oversized strap buttons, and chrome hardware. The locking system and Drop-D device are significant parts of the hardware package. The provided specifications do not state whether the guitar ships set up for a particular string gauge or tuning.

The listed strings are EVH nickel-plated steel in a.009,.042 gauge. That is the supplied string specification, not a limit on which gauges the instrument can use. Players changing gauge or tuning may need a setup adjustment, especially with a locking tremolo, but the data does not describe any included setup service.

Finish, included accessories, and value

The finish is listed as Distressed Ivory Satin, with the general color identified as ivory. The package includes an EVH gig bag. No hard case is included. The product data lists the sales unit as one piece and gives item number 648122.

At $1,590, the listed hardware and construction details are substantial: a graphite-reinforced quarter-sawn maple neck, ebony fingerboard, two specified humbuckers, a Floyd Rose 1000 locking tremolo, and the Drop-D device. Whether that package represents good value depends on a player's priorities and on factors not documented here, including actual fit and finish, pickup performance, setup, and long-term reliability. With no customer feedback available, those questions remain open rather than grounds for a positive or negative verdict.

The specifications make the Evh Wolfgang Special LTD DIV a clearly equipped Wolfgang-style guitar with a 25.5-inch scale, 22 jumbo frets, and locking vibrato hardware. Buyers can compare those concrete features against their own needs, but an in-person assessment or a reliable demonstration will be necessary to judge feel and sound.
