EVH 5150 Series Deluxe Poplar Burl Electric Guitar, Ebony Fingerboard,Aqua Burst

Over the years, the 5150 Series Deluxe Poplar Burl Electric Guitar, with its Ebony Fingerboard and striking Aqua Burst finish, has become a symbol of high-quality craftsmanship and innovative design. This stylish and durable instrument is a reimagined version of an iconic classic, blending both vintage and modern features for the contemporary musician.The 5150 Deluxe Poplar Burl is engineered for speed, comfort, and full-throttle attitude. It boasts a modified Strat-style basswood body, accentuated by a deeper upper body curve for an enhanced aesthetic appeal. The guitar's graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck is designed with a comfortable modified "C" profile, hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, and a heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel. The color-matched "hockey stick" headstock, adorned with the EVH logo decal, adds a touch of class to this versatile instrument.Designed for smooth and speedy playability, the 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard features 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays. Unlike its famed striped original that had a single humbucking bridge pickup, the all-new 5150 Deluxe is equipped with an HH pickup configuration controlled by a three-way toggle on the upper bout. The custom-designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking bridge pickup delivers the perfect balance of punch and articulation, offering sweet sustain and thick chunky rhythms in a perfectly balanced EQ curve. The EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking neck pickup provides no-nonsense, balls-to-the-wall overdrive and endless sustain, without compromising on articulate cleans when the volume is rolled down.The guitar features a custom-designed low friction volume knob for the smoothest volume swells, and a high friction tone knob that stays in place even if accidentally bumped. A new feature is the lower bout kill switch, allowing you to mute your guitar for those stutter, rhythmic effects - reminiscent of "You Really Got Me."The 5150 Deluxe is 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 instant switching from drop-D to standard tuning. This modern spin on a fan favorite is sure to stun with its unique poplar burl top, wrapped in Aqua Burst or Black Burst, and finished off with all-chrome hardware, including the EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines. The 5150 Series Deluxe Poplar Burl Electric Guitar is a testament to EVH's commitment to quality, innovation, and style.
