EVH 5150 Series Standard Electric Guitar, Ebony Fingerboard, Ice Blue Metallic

While maintaining its legendary status, the reimagined 5150 Series Standard Electric Guitar with an Ebony Fingerboard in Ice Blue Metallic is a harmonious blend of vintage charm and modern innovation. This iconic instrument, reminiscent of the past, is engineered for speed, comfort, and a full-throttle attitude, making it a favorite among passionate guitarists.Like its predecessor, the 5150 Standard features a modified Strat-style basswood body, enhanced with a deeper upper body curve for an ergonomic fit. The guitar's neck, a bolt-on quartersawn maple reinforced with graphite, boasts a comfortable modified "C" profile. It's further refined with a hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, a heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel, and a color-matched "hockey stick" headstock adorned with the EVH logo decal.The 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard is designed for smooth and speedy playability. It features 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays, offering a sleek and stylish aesthetic. Unlike the original striped model, which had a single humbucking bridge pickup, the revamped 5150 Standard 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 with a perfectly balanced EQ curve. The EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking neck pickup provides robust 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 when accidentally bumped. A new addition to this model is a lower bout kill switch, allowing you to mute your guitar for stutter, rhythmic effects, reminiscent of the classic "You Really Got Me."The 5150 Standard is equipped 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 between drop-D and standard tuning.This high-performance axe, the 5150 Standard, exudes spotlight-ready style with its all-new Ice Blue Metallic or Stealth Black finish. All-black hardware, including the EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines, adds a touch of sophistication to this high-octane guitar.
