Description
The EVH 5150 Series Deluxe Baked Maple in Candy Apple Red Metallic is built for players who want the same high-speed feel and aggressive response of the 5150 platform with a bold metallic finish. If you are chasing tight rhythm tones, expressive leads, and a guitar that encourages energetic playing, this model is designed to keep up. The modified Strat-style body keeps it comfortable on stage while the hockey stick headstock and simple control layout stay true to the EVH design approach.
The basswood body pairs with a graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn baked maple neck carved to EVH's modified C backshape. The hand-rubbed satin urethane neck finish keeps the feel quick and smooth, and the 12 to 16 inch compound radius baked maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets makes both rhythm work and fast lead playing feel natural. Direct-mount EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbuckers deliver thick, articulate tones with strong sustain. A three-position toggle gives you straightforward switching between pickup combinations, while the lower bout kill switch lets you create rhythmic stutter effects when the part calls for it.
The top-mount EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo and Floyd Rose R3 locking nut keep tuning stable through heavy tremolo use. The EVH D-Tuna allows quick switching between standard and Drop-D tuning without changing guitars. A low friction volume control with treble bleed supports smooth swells, while the high friction tone control stays firmly in place. We like this one because it blends classic EVH design ideas with modern playability, making it a dependable instrument for stage or studio.
