After three years in development, Wolfgang Van Halen's signature EVH SA-126 guitar is finally hitting stores worldwide this spring for Mammoth WVH fans to try for themselves.
The guitar was designed and produced by Wolfgang, Matt Bruck and EVH Masterbuilder Chip Ellis. Wolf has been crash-testing the various prototypes on his last several tours onstage in clubs, arenas, stadiums and television studios around the world.
The hot-rodded semi-hollow body guitar is said to provide a wide spectrum of tones, from articulate cleans to fiery distorted sounds.
The SA-126 includes:
- Chambered mahogany body with a basswood centerblock
- Bolt-on Mahogany neck with scarf joint, EVH® Modified “C” Neck Shape
- Ebony, 12”-16” Compound Radius 22 Jumbo fret fingerboard
- NEW EVH® SA-126 Humbucking Pickups (Bridge and Neck)
- SA-126 Hardshell case wrapped in Ivory vinyl with a blue crushed velvet interior
Prices range from $1,799.99 to $1,899.99, depending on the finish selection. The guitar will become available this May.
