Product Description
EVH 5150 Deluxe Poplar Burl Electric Guitar Purple Daze
Used. Kept in great condition and plays excellent. Setup and sounds great!
The EVH 5150 Deluxe Poplar Burl electric guitar, brought to you by legendary rocker Eddie Van Halen. Like its predecessor, the 5150 Deluxe features a modified Strat-style basswood body with a deeper upper body curve and a graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck for rock-solid stability. The 12"–16" compound radius ebony fingerboard enables exceptional speed and comfort.
Powerful Pickups Produce Pounding Tones
While the original 5150 had a single humbucker, the 5150 Deluxe is outfitted with an HH pickup configuration controlled by a 3-way toggle. The EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking bridge pickup delivers punch, articulation and thick rhythms. The EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking neck pickup provides overdrive, sustain and cleans. A custom low-friction volume knob enables smooth volume swells, and a high-friction tone knob prevents accidental changes.
Dive-Bomb-Ready Bridge Provides Drop-D Access
Decked out with an EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge, the 5150 Deluxe features fine tuners for each string and an EVH D-Tuna for switching between drop-D and standard tuning. The locking tailpiece, designed for Eddie's signature tremolo work, gives you instant access to drop-D tuning for added sonic variety.
Striking Esthetics and Convenient Components
A stylized modern spin on a fan favorite, the 5150 Deluxe stuns with a unique poplar burl top in Aqua Burst or Black Burst. All-chrome hardware, including EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines, provides an eye-catching finish. A lower bout kill switch allows for rhythmic muting effects, and a heel-mount truss rod adjustment spoke wheel offers convenient neck relief tweaks.
