EVH Limited Edition Star, Ebony Fingerboard, Stealth Black with Gold Hardware Overview
Reverberating with the spirit of rock, the EVH Limited Edition Star is a contemporary reinterpretation of Eddie Van Halen’s iconic Charvel parts guitar from the late 70s. Oozing with EVH attitude, this guitar is engineered to unleash an array of elegant riffs, high-velocity leads, and incendiary rhythms.
The EVH Star Limited’s basswood “Star” body and single direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickup combine to create a powerful yet clear tone that’s distinctly EVH. The EVH Star series features a streamlined control setup that includes a single volume knob and a push-button kill switch for dynamic stutter effects.
Seamless Playability
Offering a slick playing experience, this electric guitar’s maple neck sports an attention-grabbing bottle headstock shape reminiscent of the department-store guitar neck married to Eddie’s renowned Charvel. Complemented by a smooth ebony fingerboard with a 12- to 16-inch compound radius, and a fast Speed Neck profile, the EVH Star Limited appeals to technically-minded guitarists who desire a high-performance instrument without compromise.
Embodying a Legacy of Innovation
Embodying the spirit of ceaseless innovation synonymous with Eddie Van Halen, the Star guitar was a unique creation, crafted from a Charvel body and an old department-store guitar neck. Used extensively on Van Halen’s World Invasion tour, the Star guitar became an integral instrument in the EVH lore. The EVH Star Limited embraces this spirit of modification, offering a modernised interpretation that retains the original’s charm.
Unleash Your Rock Attitude
Equipped with a single direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbucker pickup, this guitar serves as a reminder that a single-pickup instrument is enough to command a stage with powerful and expressive tones. The stripped-back setup, featuring a single volume knob and a push-button kill switch for staccato effects, is purpose-built for loud and unapologetic rock and metal playing.
The EVH Touch
A top-mount EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo enables reckless squeals and dive-bombs, with the assurance of tuning stability. Complemented by EVH’s patented D-Tuna, you can effortlessly switch between standard and Drop D tuning without needing to remove the locking nut.
