Guitar World recently posted three videos online of Chris Cannella from the EVH (Eddie Van Halen) brand of guitars, demoing the Wolfgang Hardtail guitar and the Wolfgang Special Hardtail guitar. Watch the videos below:

The original EVH Wolfgang USA guitar was recently released in two distinctive new sans-tremolo versions—the EVH Wolfgang Hardtail and Wolfgang Special Hardtail. These are special editions of the legendary high-performance guitar that started it all, this time with the addition of a TonePros hard-tail bridge with stop tailpiece and fine tuners for the ultimate in stable intonation and precise tuning.

The Wolfgang Hardtail features a basswood body with arched AA maple top; oil-finished quartersawn maple neck with dual graphite reinforcement rods; compound radius (12”-16”) AA birds-eye maple fingerboard with 22 vintage stainless frets, dot inlays and Floyd Rose® locking nut; five-ply black/white body and headstock binding; dual EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickups with three-position switching; EVH custom low-friction volume (500k) and high-friction tone (250k) potentiometers; chrome Schaller string retainer; EVH-branded tuners; and EVH molded-stripe case by SKB. Finish options include Black, Vintage White, Tobacco Burst, Black Cherry Burst and Transparent Amber.
