Introducing the EVH 5150 Series Deluxe Poplar Burl Aqua Burst Electric Guitar, a powerhouse instrument crafted for those who demand both aesthetics and performance. Born from the genius of Eddie Van Halen, this guitar combines a modified Strat-style basswood body with a stunning poplar burl top, ensuring it’s as visually striking as it is sonically impressive. The EVH Wolfgang Alnico II humbuckers are the heart of this beast, delivering that iconic EVH tone with muscular lows, soaring highs, and snarling mids.

The graphite-reinforced quartersawn maple neck offers not just rock-solid stability but also a sublime playability that guitarists crave. Its compound-radius ebony fingerboard is designed for speed and comfort, transitioning smoothly from chording down low to shredding up high. Topping off its remarkable features is the EVH-branded Floyd Rose tremolo system, complete with a D-Tuna for instant Drop D tuning, allowing for those signature dive-bombs and tremolo antics without losing tune. Plus, the innovative lower bout kill switch makes it easy to pull off stutter effects, making your playing as dynamic as it is explosive.
