EVH 5150 Series Standard Basswood Body 6-String Electric Guitar (Left-Handed, Stealth Black)
Engineered for speed, comfort, and full-throttle attitude, the reimagined EVH 5150 Series Standard Left Hand Guitar is an iconic blast from the past that blends both throwback and modernized features.
Elegant Yet Functional Design
Like its predecessor, the 5150 Standard Left-Hand features a modified Strat-style basswood body with a deeper upper body curve. The graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable modified C profile, hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel, and color-matched hockey stick headstock with EVH logo decal. Built for smooth and speedy playability, the 12-16 inch compound radius ebony fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays.
Versatile Pickups
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 kill switch, allowing you to mute your guitar for those stutter, rhythmic effects.
EVH D-Tuna
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.
