EVH

EVH at Kirstein – guitars and amps based on Eddie Van Halens ideas

EVH was developed in 2005 by Eddie Van Halen and Fender. The starting point was the experience and requirements of a guitarist who spent decades working intensively on instruments, amplifiers, hardware and his own sound. Accordingly, the brand continues to focus on electric guitars, powerful guitar amplifiers, speaker cabinets and dedicated guitar accessories. The range is particularly relevant for rock and metal guitarists, while also offering suitable equipment for studio work and professional stages.

EVH electric guitars: Wolfgang, Striped, 5150 and SA-126

The Wolfgang family is one of the central pillars of the EVH guitar range. Current models include Wolfgang WG Standard, Wolfgang Special and Wolfgang USA instruments. Depending on the version, features include EVH humbuckers, different fingerboard materials and EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolos. On many models, the EVH D-Tuna complements the tremolo system and allows the low E string to be quickly changed to Drop D. The broad selection of electric guitars makes it easier to choose an instrument whose specifications suit your individual playing style.

The Striped Series makes the visual connection to Eddie Van Halens famous striped instruments particularly clear. Alongside it, the 5150 Series forms a distinct guitar family, while the SA-126 adds another model line to the current EVH range. Players mainly interested in instruments for heavier styles can also explore the Metal Guitars category. Fans of artist instruments will also find the selection of Signature Guitars worth exploring.

5150 amplifiers: 5150III and 5150 Iconic

EVH amplification is particularly associated with the 5150 family. The 5150III series includes various heads, combos and matching cabinets and is aimed at guitarists who want to move between clean, crunch and heavily distorted sounds. The 5150 Iconic Series was developed on the basis of the 5150III amplifiers and transfers their fundamental high-gain approach into a separate product line. Different models provide different power levels and speaker configurations, offering solutions for recording, rehearsal rooms and stages. You can find suitable models among the guitar amplifiers.

If you use an amplifier head, the cabinet should be considered part of the complete system. Speaker configuration, power handling and impedance need to match both the amplifier and the intended setup. EVH offers cabinets designed to complement various 5150 amplifiers. An overview of different formats and speaker configurations can be found in the guitar speaker cabinets category.
