EVH 5150 Deluxe Poplar Burl Electric Guitar Purple Daze

Engineered for speed, comfort and full-throttle attitude, the EVH 5150 Deluxe Poplar Burl electric guitar is a blast from the past that blends throwback and modernized features. Like its predecessor, the 5150 Deluxe 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"-shaped 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”�?6�?compound radius ebony fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays. While the famed striped original had a single humbucking bridge pickup only, the all-new EVH 5150 Deluxe is outfitted with an HH pickup configuration controlled by a 3-way toggle 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 humbucking neck pickup serves up no-nonsense 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—think “You Really Got Me.�?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. A stylized modern spin on a fan favorite, the EVH 5150 Deluxe is sure to stun with a unique poplar burl top and all-chrome hardware, including the EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines.
