EVH 5150 Series Deluxe QM 6-String Electric Guitar with Baked Maple Fingerboard and Basswood Body (Limeade Zest)

<p>Engineered for speed, comfort and full-throttle attitude, the reimagined 5150 Series DX is an iconic blast from the past that blends both throwback and modernized features.</p><p>Like its predecessor, the 5150 DX features a modified Strat-style basswood body with a deeper upper body curve. The graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn baked maple neck features a comfortable modified C profile, hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel and hockey stick headstock with EVH logo decal. Built for smooth and speedy playability, the 12-16 inch compound radius baked maple fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays.</p><p>While the famed striped original had a single humbucking bridge pickup only, the all-new 5150 is outfitted with an HH pickup configuration controlled by a three-way toggle switch on the upper bout. The custom designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking bridge pickup delivers the perfect amount of punch and articulation with sweet sustain and thick chunky rhythms in a perfectly balanced EQ curve. The EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucker neck pickup serves up no-nonsense, balls to the wall overdrive and endless sustain without skimping on articulate cleans when the volume is rolled down. A custom designed low friction volume knob creates even-volume tapering for the smoothest volume swells, while the high friction tone knob will stay in place even if accidentally bumped. An added new feature comes in the way of a lower bout mute switch, allowing you to mute your guitar for those stutter, rhythmic effects - think (You Really Got Me) Decked out with a dive-bomb certified EVH-branded top-mount Floyd Rose bridge, the locking tailpiece features fine tuners for each string and a patented EVH D-Tuna for switching back and forth from drop-D to standard tuning in an instant.</p><h3>Features</h3><ul><li>25.5 inch scale length</li><li>Modified Strat-style basswood body with quilt maple top and deeper upper body curve</li><li>Graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn baked maple neck</li><li>Neck is carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen's specifications</li><li>With hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish</li><li>12-16 inch compound radius baked maple fingerboard</li><li>22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays</li><li>Convenient heel-mount truss rod adjustment spoke wheel</li><li>Direct mount EVH Wolfgang bridge and neck humbucking pickups</li><li>Top-mount EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge and R3 locking nut</li><li>EVH D-Tuna</li><li>Three-way toggle switch, mute switch, volume control (500K EVH Bourns Low Friction Pot)</li><li>With treble bleed circuit and tone control (250K EVH Bourns High Friction)</li><li>Available in Limeade Zest with all-chrome hardware</li><li>EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines</li></ul>
