Bolt-On quartersawn maple neck with Eddie Van Halen'S modified "C" backshape

The EVH LTD ED Striped Series Circles Satin Finish with Gig Bag features a bolt-on quartersawn maple neck. This construction method uses screws or bolts to join the neck and body of the guitar, resulting in a bright tone with enhanced control. The quartersawn grain running along the length of the neck not only provides visual appeal but also increases its durability, making it less prone to shrinking, warping, or splitting. To ensure maximum stability, the neck is reinforced with graphite rods alongside the truss rod. Your fretting hand will feel right at home on the modified "C" shape neck, which has a .790" thickness at the 3rd fret and .825" at the 12th fret.

12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets

The EVH LTD ED Striped Series Circles Satin Finish guitar boasts an innovative 12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard. This unique design gradually flattens as it approaches the heel from a smaller and more rounded profile at the nut. The result is unparalleled comfort when playing chords and riffs near the nut, while also providing seamless bending near the heel. With a 22-fret layout, the neck pickup is positioned at the "sweet spot," resulting in an overall warmer tone. Additionally, the jumbo fret wire slightly increases the distance between the strings and fingerboard, allowing for seamless and comfortable bends.

Wolfgang humbucking pickup

One of the standout features of the EVH LTD ED Striped Series Circles Satin Finish guitar is the Wolfgang humbucking pickup. Designed in collaboration with Eddie Van Halen, this pickup delivers the scorching signature lead tone that captivated the world of rock 'n' roll in the '70s and '80s. The direct mount EVH Wolfgang humbuckers feature Alnico 2 magnets, producing hotter output and rich harmonics. These pickups excel at delivering cutting highs, snarling mids, and a dynamic range of tones to suit any playing style.

EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking trem, R3 locking nut, and D-Tuna

The EVH LTD ED Striped Series Circles Satin Finish guitar also includes the iconic EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo system. Eddie Van Halen was instrumental in popularising this innovative design, even offering advice during its early development. The EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge carries the EVH logo on its bridge plate, steel saddles, and solid brass block. Paired with the R3 (43 mm) locking nut, this double-locking system ensures unparalleled tuning stability and dynamic tremolo action. Furthermore, the EVH D-Tuna, a unique patented device, allows players to instantly switch between drop-D tuning and standard E tuning, making it incredibly versatile for a wide range of musical styles.
