Description
The EVH 5150 Series Deluxe Quilted Maple Top Baked Maple in Pacific Drift is built for players who want the aggressive feel of the 5150 platform with a little extra visual flair. If you are chasing tight rhythm response, smooth lead playability, and a guitar that feels built for high-energy rock playing, this model delivers. The Pacific Drift finish highlights the quilted maple top and gives the guitar a bold look while keeping the familiar 5150 silhouette.
The basswood body with a quilted maple top keeps the tone balanced with strong sustain and clear attack. The graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn baked maple neck is carved to EVH's modified C backshape and finished with hand-rubbed satin urethane, giving it a smooth, broken-in feel right away. The baked maple fingerboard features a 12 to 16 inch compound radius and 22 jumbo frets, making chord work comfortable and fast lead playing effortless higher up the neck. Direct-mount EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbuckers provide thick, articulate rhythm tones with sweet sustain and strong clarity. A three-position toggle keeps switching simple, while the lower-bout kill switch allows quick stutter effects when the moment calls for it.
A top-mount EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo paired with a Floyd Rose R3 locking nut keeps tuning stable during heavy tremolo use. The EVH D-Tuna lets you jump between standard tuning and Drop-D instantly. The low friction volume pot with treble bleed makes swells smooth, while the high friction tone control stays firmly where you set it. We like this one because it blends the proven 5150 performance platform with a striking top and finish that really stands out.
