You'll need to be more specific. Several EVH guitars have been on sale recently.

My bad! I think it was the gold wolfgang special. The top is different on this one, as it's burl, and this one also has a killswitch, but besides those two things I'm curious about the differences. Thanks!

Besides the obvious body shape/contours differences… I'd add that the neck is a bit different between the 5150/Striped Series and the Wolfgang. The nut and heel are a touch wider on the 5150/Striped Series guitars. On paper it isn't much, but having smaller hands, they feel considerably different to me.

Thanks! Can you pull up on this bar? I know you couldn't on the Wolfgang which is why I passed on it. (I haven't played a guitar with a floyd in so many years but I figure if I'm going to get one I'm going to want to turn that bar backwards and Vai all the notes!)

I've had my eye on this as well as that green San Dimas all year when they have been posted. Don't need either but so tempting. I resisted the San Dimas last week but told myself in exchange for my patience I'd grab the 5150 next time. It was 799 then 699 and now 649! Can't resist. In for 1. Thanks OP!

Same, was eyeing the San Dimas but that color was too loud for me. The kill switch on this and the price drop sealed the deal! 🤘🏻

This!! That gold guitar has less EVH 'DNA' compared to this one. If you are an EVH fan, get this. The feel, electronics, contours everything is more authentic on this one. Great price as well.. can't beat this deal
A guitar designed by Eddie Van Halen has less EVH DNA in it?
Wut?

This is the better guitar. MIM Charvel you'd have a close cousin. MiK? No. This wins.

Yes. This basically same neck profile as striped. My only hesitation as I don't need both and will sell my striped if I get this.

Wolfgang imo. I'd buy the special cuz MIM. It feels smaller than a Strat. But it's only barelly shorter. I think everyone should have one on their stable. And I'm not even really a EVh fan.
