EVH 5150 Series Standard Review

Best-sounding guitar that i've played in the last 10 yrs!

I played a green one. Best attack that I've heard out of the dirty channel ever! I was out looking for a strat and love all the Eddie replicas, but all i hqd to do was chug, for it to pick me!

Love this guitar

The other three (five star) reviews of this guitar are on point. I knocked off a half star because the fret edges came from the factory a little rough- my other two EVH guitars have frets that are silky smooth. This one minor flaw doesn't stop the 5150 from being my daily go-to instrument (and I'll get it fixed this summer). There isn't anything tone-wise that this guitar cannot… read more do. Its tone is slightly darker than my Wolfgang standard, and of all things, one of my favorite things to do with with this guitar is turn the tone knob all the way down to 0 and run it into the clean channel of my amp with some reverb. That gives me a neat Spanish guitars vibe that I really enjoy when I'm tired of doing Dime squeals and horse whinnies. Oh, and this guitar is more metal than it looks, which is metal as you-know-what. Great instrument.

Just as amazing as I thought it would be

So I put an order in for this bad boy at the beginning of 2021 when I saw the stealth black version and fell in love so hard that I was willing to wait however long it took. Oh. My. God. I am so glad I did so!! These Wolfgang pickups mounted directly to the body are crazy hot and the neck is so fast it makes me feel like I can shred with the best! The kill-switch is a must have… read more for me now because it's just the cherry on top of a guitar that I will love and treasure forever. God this thing can go from 'talk' to 'scream' in an effortless slide of the pinky across the low-friction volume knob and has had me hooked ever since I got it 10 months ago. It will always be in my "never sell" pile of guitars, and this is coming from someone that would rather have a medical procedure than change strings on a Floyd Rose lol! I highly recommend any of these 5150 models because they are Strats on steroids! It doesn't hurt that the neck has a 12-16" compound radius (which is amazing btw) and feels nice and slick on the back of it without having that sticky lacquer like other Fender branded guitars have. I would give this 5 stars until the day I die. Long live the guitar Mozart who is EVH forever!

Great guitar

This guitar screams. The neck feels amazing, not too slim and not too thick. The hockey stick headstock is beyond cool. This guitar feels very reminiscent of a 1985 Kramer Pacer. If you are a metal player, you will love this guitar.
