Evh Wolfgang Special QM TigerEyeG

Evh Wolfgang Special QM TigerEyeG review

The Evh Wolfgang Special QM TigerEyeG is a solid-body electric guitar with a Wolfgang design, a quilted maple top, and a Tiger Eye Glow finish. Its specification sheet combines a roasted maple neck and fingerboard with two direct-mounted EVH Wolfgang humbuckers and an EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo system. The model has been available since September 2024, and its listed item number is 594349.

Feedback from an owner provides useful context for buyers comparing production locations and price. The player had initially hoped to buy a Japan-made EVH, but expected delivery delays of several months led them to choose this less expensive Mexico-made model instead. They reported that it met their expectations and expressed strong satisfaction with it as a first EVH guitar. That is an individual account rather than a broad measure of consistency, but it gives a clear impression of how one buyer viewed the tradeoff.

Body, neck, and playing dimensions

The body is basswood, also called linden, with a quilted maple top. The listed color is Tiger Eye Glow, while the shorter color entry reads Tiger Eye. The neck is bolt-on roasted maple, and the fingerboard is roasted maple with black dot inlays. These details give the guitar a straightforward, coordinated construction rather than a set-neck layout.

The scale length is 648 mm, or 25.5 inches, and the nut width is 41.3 mm, or 1.625 inches. The neck profile is identified as the Wolfgang back shape. There are 22 jumbo frets, with a compound fingerboard radius that transitions from 304.8 mm (12 inches) to 406.4 mm (16 inches). Those measurements are useful when comparing the guitar with other instruments or checking whether its dimensions suit an existing setup. The specifications describe the geometry, but do not establish how the neck will feel to every player.

Pickups and controls

Two direct-mounted EVH Wolfgang humbuckers form the pickup system. The controls consist of one volume control with a treble-bleed circuit and one tone control, operated alongside a three-way toggle switch. The provided specifications do not include pickup output readings or detailed descriptions of the available switch positions, so buyers should treat the hardware list as the reliable point of comparison rather than assume a particular tonal result.

The treble-bleed circuit is part of the volume control specification. Its inclusion is relevant to players who adjust volume at the guitar, though this listing does not provide a measured account of how the circuit affects the sound at different settings. The combination of two humbuckers, a single volume knob, a tone control, and a three-way switch keeps the control layout easy to identify from the stated details.

Tremolo and included equipment

The guitar has an EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo and an EVH D-Tuna. It also uses a Floyd Rose R2 locking nut, EVH-branded Gotoh machine heads, and chrome hardware. This is a locking-tremolo setup, so buyers should account for its specific setup and maintenance needs when comparing it with a fixed bridge. The D-Tuna is included as part of the listed hardware; the specification does not describe its operation in detail.

The original strings are EVH nickel-plated steel in.009,.042 gauge. Neither a case nor a gig bag is included. The sales unit is one piece, and the stated price is 1222. Since the listing does not specify a currency, that figure should be checked against the seller's current price and local market.

Setup and buying considerations

The owner feedback notes that a standard setup should be expected. The player felt that the adjustment was not urgent and could wait until the guitar had been played in further. That is a practical observation, not a guarantee that every new instrument will arrive with the same setup. Players sensitive to action, intonation, or tremolo balance may want to inspect those points on arrival or ask the retailer what adjustment is included.

Overall, the listed package is easy to assess on its concrete merits: basswood body, quilted maple top, roasted maple neck and fingerboard, 22 jumbo frets, dual EVH Wolfgang humbuckers, and locking tremolo hardware. The owner report supports the impression that this Mexico-made model satisfied at least one buyer who had originally preferred a Japan-made option. No case or gig bag is supplied, and a setup may be part of getting the instrument ready for personal preference. Those are the key details to weigh before purchase.
