2020 EVH 5150 Series Standard Ice Blue Metallic

This EVH 5150 Series Standard is in near mint condition. This instrument appears to have been played very little and has been exceptionally well cared for. The neck profile on this guitar is a modified C shape and has a great feel. This neck is of the medium size variety and is very fun and fast to play! The frets show no signs of use and this instrument plays exceptional up and down the fingerboard. This 5150 features a set of Wolfgang Alnico humbucking pickups that sound great. These pickups are full, articulate and punchy. This guitar excels with overdriven sounds but the neck pickup can also dish out some really nice, full sounding cleans as well and the kill switch, well, it’s just a blast to use! This guitar is housed in an aftermarket gig bag and the trem arm is missing in action. If you are looking for a very high quality instrument with top notch playability and hardware, this 5150 Standard is an excellent choice! This guitar weighs 8lb even.

From the manufacturer: Engineered for speed, comfort and full-throttle attitude, the reimagined 5150™ Series Standard is an iconic blast from the past that blends both throwback and modernized features. Like its predecessor, the 5150 Standard 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, hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel and color matched “hockey stick” headstock with EVH® logo decal. 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, the all-new 5150 is outfitted with an HH pickup configuration controlled by a three-way toggle switch 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 humbucker neck pickup serves up no-nonsense, balls to the wall 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. An added new feature comes in the way of 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 high-octane, high performance axe, the 5150 Standard boasts spotlight-ready style in an all-new Ice Blue Metallic or Stealth Black finish with all-black hardware, including the EVH-branded Gotoh® tuning machines.
