The EVH USA Custom Shop Special Edition Wolfgang 1H FR – Olive Drab Green stands as a no-compromise expression of Eddie Van Halen’s relentless pursuit of tone, performance, and individuality. Handcrafted by the EVH Custom Shop in the U.S.A., this exclusive instrument captures the raw energy and utilitarian aesthetic that defined Eddie’s stage guitars, while refining every element for elite professional playability and precision. With its bold military-inspired Olive Drab Green satin urethane finish, this Wolfgang exudes attitude — understated, purposeful, and built to dominate any stage or studio session.

At its core, the Wolfgang 1H FR features a premium alder body paired with a soft-leaf maple arched top, a combination that delivers an exceptionally balanced tonal foundation — punchy mids, tight lows, and a crisp, articulate high end. The satin urethane finish not only enhances resonance but also allows the natural beauty of the figured maple to subtly glow beneath its rugged olive hue. The bolt-on oil-finished caramelized flame maple neck is a masterclass in feel and stability, offering a smooth, fast surface that responds instantly to the player’s touch. Graphite reinforcement ensures rock-solid reliability, while the dual-action truss rod with easy-access wheel adjustment allows for perfect setup tweaks at any time.

The ebony fingerboard enhances clarity and attack, while heavy-rolled neck shoulders give the Wolfgang its signature “broken-in” comfort — an unmistakable EVH trait. Aged golden pearloid block inlays bordered by black EVH® stripe detailing add a sophisticated, custom aesthetic, perfectly complementing the dark, industrial tone of the instrument. With 22 stainless-steel vintage frets and brass side dots, this neck is built for speed, accuracy, and long-term durability.

Every component of this guitar screams performance. The Floyd Rose® locking nut and black EVH® Floyd Rose® flush-mount bridge guarantee unshakable tuning stability, even under the most aggressive dive-bombs and pull-ups. The addition of the iconic EVH® D-Tuna allows instant access to drop-D tuning, a must-have for players chasing Eddie’s legendary versatility. Powering this beast is a single DiMarzio® X2N® black bobbin bridge pickup — a high-output monster that delivers searing leads, massive crunch, and ferocious harmonic content, perfectly suited to the Wolfgang’s minimalist one-humbucker configuration. A single black chicken head knob controls the output, emphasizing simplicity and focus — just like Eddie preferred.

Finished with black EVH® tuning keys, a proudly displayed EVH® Custom Shop logo, and protected by a molded hardshell case, the EVH USA Custom Shop Special Edition Wolfgang 1H FR – Olive Drab Green is more than an instrument — it’s a precision-engineered weapon of tone. From its elite craftsmanship to its stripped-down, road-ready design, this guitar embodies the spirit of EVH: fearless, refined, and unapologetically powerful.
