Here for sale we have a EVH 5150 Deluxe in Purple Daze finish. Made in 2021, this guitar features a bolt-on construction consisting of a Basswood body with a Quilt Maple top, a Quartersawn Maple neck and 22 Jumbo fret Ebony fingerboard. This instrument is fitted with a Top-Mount EVH Branded Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo, a Floyd Rose R3 Locking nut and a set of EVH Branded Gotoh tuning machines. The pickups in this guitar are a pair of EVH Direct Mount Wolfgang humbuckers, these are wired to a 3-way selector, master volume, master tone and a killswitch control. The Quartersawn Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand with EVH Modified "C" profile feeling slender, filling the hand nicely for an articulate playing experience up and down the neck. Primed for high performance, energetic riffing and blazing leads, the 12"-16" compound radius Ebony fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets assisting with string bends and vibrato techniques, delivering a tailored playing experience in any position, whilst offering a nice balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for quick lead lines. The Floyd Rose Top-Mount double locking tremolo bridge has been teamed up with an R3 locking nut to lay down solid tuning stability no matter how extreme the dive bombs. The direct mount EVH Wolfgang humbuckers with Alnico 2 magnets have a hot output, these pickups deliver rich harmonics, cutting highs and snarling mids in spades. The bridge pickup provides a fat and punchy humbucker-like sound, making power chords sound gritty, whilst also providing soaring lead tones with broad tonal dynamics. However, with subtler amp settings the bridge offers a bright, glassy clean tone making harmonics sing with a bell like tonality. The middle position provides bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. The neck pickup offers a smooth, warm, rounded tone that handles distorted tones as well as it handles clean tones. The killswitch is perfect for chopping up notes, licks and riffs to create that legendary stutter effect, a bright orange kill switch has been planted in just the right place for all of your flashy guitar playing gymnastics.
