If you want the EVH tone, combined with modern looks and the added flash of a quilt maple top, you can’t go wrong with this EVH 5150 QM model, in a Tobacco Sunburst finish! The reimagined 5150 QM is an iconic blast from the past that blends both throwback and modernized features.Like its predecessor, the 5150 features a modified Strat-style basswood body with a deeper upper body curve. The graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable modified C profile, hand-rubbed urethane back finish, heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel and matching hockey stick headstock with EVH logo decal. Built for smooth and speedy playability, the 12-16 compound radius ebony fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays.While the famed striped original had a single humbucking bridge pickup only, the all-new 5150 is outfitted with an HH pickup configuration controlled by a quick access three-way toggle on the lower bout. The custom designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 Humbucker bridge pickup delivers the perfect amount of punch and articulation with sweet sustain and thick chunky rhythms in a perfectly balanced EQ curve. The EVH Wolfgang humbucker neck pickup serves up no-nonsense, balls to the wall overdrive and endless sustain without skimping on articulate cleans when the volume is rolled down. A high-friction tone knob provides unmatched tonal performance, while the custom designed EVH-branded low-friction volume knob creates even-volume tapering for the smoothest volume swells.Decked out with a dive-bomb certified EVH-branded top-mount Floyd Rose bridge, each locking nut tailpiece features fine tuners and a patented EVH D-Tuna for switching back and forth from drop-D to standard tuning in an instant.A stylized modern spin on a fan favorite, the 5150 QM is sure to stun with a rippling quilt maple top that is elegantly dressed in Tobacco Burst or Transparent Blue Burst and finished off with all-chrome hardware, including the EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines.
