High-speed feel with controlled power and precise tremolo response
The EVH Wolfgang Special QM is built for players who demand fast response, stable tuning, and consistent tone under high-energy playing. The basswood body keeps the overall weight balanced and responsive, while the arched quilt maple top adds snap and upper-mid definition, helping notes stay clear under gain. A quartersawn baked maple neck with graphite reinforcement increases stiffness, supporting tuning stability and a direct, immediate feel across the fretboard.
The compound 12 inch to 16 inch radius baked maple fingerboard allows comfortable chord work lower down and flatter geometry for controlled bending higher up. Jumbo frets reduce fretting resistance, encouraging speed and accuracy. Direct-mounted Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbuckers transfer string vibration straight into the body, producing strong output with clear note separation and long sustain. The locking tremolo system, paired with a locking nut and D-Tuna, supports aggressive pitch movement while maintaining reliable tuning. Carefully chosen control pot values and a treble bleed circuit preserve clarity when rolling back volume, keeping dynamic control predictable in live or studio use.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this guitar suits players who prioritise speed, tuning security, and articulate high-gain tone, offering a refined feel and reliable control that supports demanding lead and rhythm work.
