Description
The EVH 5150 Series Deluxe Quilted Maple Top Baked Maple in Limeade Zest brings the same fast, aggressive 5150 platform together with a bold quilted maple top and eye-catching finish. If you are after tight rhythm response, expressive lead playing, and a guitar that feels purpose-built for high gain performance, this model delivers. The Limeade Zest finish really shows off the quilted top and gives the guitar a striking look that stands out on stage.
The basswood body paired with a quilted maple top keeps the tone balanced and responsive, while the graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn baked maple neck is carved to the EVH modified C backshape for a comfortable and fast feel. The hand-rubbed satin urethane neck finish feels smooth and broken-in, and the baked maple fingerboard with a 12 to 16 inch compound radius and 22 jumbo frets makes both rhythm playing and fast leads feel natural. Direct-mount EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbuckers deliver thick, articulate tones with plenty of sustain and punch. A three-position toggle switch keeps pickup changes simple, and the lower-bout kill switch adds rhythmic stutter effects when you want them.
The top-mount EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo works with the Floyd Rose R3 locking nut to keep tuning stable even under aggressive use. The EVH D-Tuna allows quick switching between standard tuning and Drop-D without changing guitars. A low friction volume pot with treble bleed makes volume swells easy, while the high friction tone control stays right where you set it. We like this one because it delivers the proven performance of the 5150 platform with a finish that makes the instrument stand out visually as well.
