Engineered for speed, comfort, and full-throttle attitude, the EVH 5150 Series Deluxe Quilted Maple Top Electric Guitar in Pacific Drift delivers iconic performance with a bold visual edge. This reimagined 5150 DX blends classic EVH design DNA with modern refinements, making it an inspiring choice for players who demand precision, power, and unmistakable stage presence.

The modified Strat-style basswood body features a deeper upper body curve for enhanced playing comfort, topped with an eye-catching quilt maple veneer finished in vibrant Pacific Drift. A graphite-reinforced, bolt-on quartersawn baked maple neck is carved and rolled to Eddie Van Halen’s preferred modified “C” profile, with a hand-rubbed satin urethane back that promotes fast, effortless movement. The 12"–16" compound radius baked maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets supports smooth chord work and fluid lead playing across the entire neck.

An HH pickup configuration powered by custom EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbuckers delivers punchy lows, articulate mids, and singing sustain for both aggressive rhythm tones and expressive solos. Performance-focused controls include a low-friction volume knob with treble bleed for smooth swells, a high-friction tone knob that stays put, and a lower-bout kill switch for rhythmic stutter effects. A top-mount EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo with fine tuners and EVH D-Tuna enables expressive dive-bombs and instant drop-D tuning changes.
