Eddie Van Halen Creates Perfect Guitar
Feb 5th, 2009 by Guitar MX Admin
After 35 years of tinkering with guitars, and creating his famous “Frankenstein” guitar (Which let’s face it, is a piece of crap), Eddie Van Halen has designed an indestructible guitar called the EVH Wolfgang guitar. The guitar has the highest quality features, including stainless steel frets, double-potted custom-wound pickups, five-piece binding on the matching body and headstock, custom-made signature tuning machines and Floyd Rose bridge, and on and on.
For the last two years, Eddie had been road-testing the guitar on the Van Halen reunion tour. The new model, marketed by Fender, was fully revealed at the recent Winter NAMM show, and will be available for sale at around $3,000.
Here’s a video excerpt from a Guitar World interview with Eddie about the new EVH Wolfgang guitar.

Or, more likely, this is Eddie’s “perfect” guitar until he scraps it and redesigns it again. Because weren’t his last five guitars the perfect guitar also?
Good point, he’s a tinkerer.
