EVH 5150 Deluxe Series Electric Guitar with Graphite-Reinforced Quartersawn Maple Neck, EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 Humbucking Pickups, EVH-Branded Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo Bridge and Ebony Fingerboard in Aqua Burst Finish
Special Offer

Engineered for speed, comfort and full-throttle attitude, EVH 5150 Series Deluxe is an iconic blast from the past that blends both throwback and modernized features.

5150 Deluxe Poplar Burl 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, a hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, a heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel and a color-matched 'hockey stick' headstock. 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, 5150 Deluxe is outfitted with an HH pickup configuration controlled by a three-way toggle on the upper bout. The custom designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking 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 Alnico 2 humbucking neck pickup serves up no-nonsense overdrive and endless sustain without skimping on articulate cleans when the volume is rolled down. A custom designed low friction volume knob creates even-volume tapering for the smoothest volume swells, while the high friction tone knob will stay in place even if accidentally bumped. There's also a lower bout kill switch, allowing you to mute your guitar for those 'stutter' rhythmic effects – think 'You Really Got Me.'

Decked out with a 'dive-bomb' certified EVH-branded top-mount Floyd Rose bridge, the locking tailpiece features fine tuners for each string 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, 5150 Deluxe is sure to stun with a unique poplar burl top wrapped in Aqua Burst and finished off with all-chrome hardware, including EVH-branded Gotoh tuning machines.

 

Modified Strat-style body with poplar burl top

Topped with an eccentric-looking poplar burl wood, the modified Strat-style body features a deeper upper body curve reminiscent of early super-Strat body styles, and hugs your frame for increased performance comfort.

Bolt-on quartersawn maple neck with Eddie Van Halen's modified 'C' backshape

Bolt-on is a type of neck construction that joins the maple neck to the body of the guitar with screws or bolts, resulting in bright tone with more control. The quartersawn grain runs the length of the neck and as well as being visually appealing, is less susceptible to shrinking, warping or splitting. Graphite reinforcement rods flank the truss rod for even more increased neck stability, while 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 ebony fingerboard

The innovative 12"-16" compound radius design features a fingerboard that gradually flattens toward the heel from its smaller and more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for unparalleled comfortable chording and riffing near the nut and precise shred articulation and bending near the heel. A premium wood, ebony has very tight wood grains and creates a slick and fast-playing surface. Ebony fingerboards are known for their clear and crisp attack, and favored by guitarists looking for sharp top end, pleasing brightness and articulate midrange.

Versatile control layout and switching

Explore the tonal landscape with the upper bout three-way toggle switch, which in position one engages the bridge pickup for robust rhythm riffing. Position two engages both pickups, while position three's neck pickup provides a warmer tone for leads. The volume knob houses a 500K EVH Bourns low friction pot with treble bleed circuit for seamless swells, while the tone control with its 250K EVH Bourns high friction pot will stay in place even if accidentally nudged. A killswitch on the lower bout blocks the signal from the guitar to the amp, temporarily stopping noise output as long as the switch is pressed down. This feature adds an expressive 'stutter' rhythmic effect to performances.

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

Eddie Van Halen was the first player to popularize the innovative Floyd Rose locking tremolo, even advising Floyd Rose on his early designs to integrate round disc finger-type tuners that you would see on a cello or violin. Now universally embraced, the EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge features the EVH logo stamped on the bridge plate, steel saddles and a solid brass block. The Floyd Rose bridge and R3 (43 mm) locking nut is a professional-grade double-locking design that secures the strings in the saddle and nut, providing ultimate tuning stability and dynamic tremolo action. Standard equipment on Eddie's personal guitars since the early 90s, the EVH D-Tuna is a unique patented device that enables players to drop the E to D and back in an instant.

EVH ELECTRIC GUITARS AND BASSES 2-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

Fender warrants this EVH brand electric guitar or bass to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two (2) years from the date of original purchase, subject to the limitations set forth herein ("Limited Warranty"). This Limited Warranty applies only to the original retail purchaser when this instrument is purchased from an Authorized EVH Dealer and is subject to the limitations set forth herein. IMPORTANT: PLEASE RETAIN YOUR ORIGINAL SALES RECEIPT, AS IT IS YOUR PROOF OF PURCHASE VALIDATING THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.

FMIC has established a network of independent Authorized EVH Service Centers for warranty service. The EVH Dealer from whom you purchased your electric guitar or bass may also be authorized for warranty service and should be the first point of contact when service of any kind is required for your EVH electric guitar or bass. To receive warranty service, return the complete instrument to an Authorized EVH Service Center, with your sales receipt as proof of purchase, during the applicable Limited Warranty period. To the extent feasible, defective components that qualify for coverage under this Limited Warranty will be repaired or replaced (at Fender's discretion) without charge. If the qualified component is not repaired, Fender may, at its sole discretion, either replace with a comparable product or refund the purchase price. Remedies beyond normal service repair of any EVH instrument require both an evaluation and confirmation of the defect and a direct recommendation to Fender from an Authorized EVH Service Center for alternative considerations.

All transportation, insurance and freight charges associated with warranty service and repairs on EVH electric guitars or basses are the responsibility of the purchaser, as is any service initiated for the purpose of customizing setups or adjustments beyond factory specifications.

  2. Checking, shrinking, sinking, discoloration and wear of lacquer finishes.

  5. Damage, corrosion or rusting of any hardware components caused by humidity, salty air, or exposure to the moisture, body salts and acids of perspiration.
  6. Any damage to an instrument resulting from customization or modification.
  7. Normal wear and tear on any part of the instrument, case or gig bag including jacks, controls, switches, plated surfaces, tuning machines, pickguards, zippers, clasps, handles, latches, case hardware etc.
  8. All other damage and deterioration due to normal usage, wear and tear, aging, accidents, neglect, abuse, or Acts of Nature.
