EVH 5150 Series DX Baked Maple Black

Legendary Performance and Modern Rock Tone!

The EVH 5150 Series DX Baked Maple combines iconic design with modern high-performance technology and delivers an uncompromising electric guitar for rock, metal and demanding lead players. With its fast neck profile, powerful EVH Wolfgang humbuckers, the EVH Floyd Rose tremolo with EVH D-Tuna and the integrated kill switch, it offers maximum control, aggressive tones and exceptional playability.

Fast Neck and Optimal Playability

The graphite-reinforced neck made of quartersawn baked maple provides high stability and a direct playing feel. The Modified "C" profile sits comfortably in the hand and supports fast runs, precise bends and clean chord work. The 12"-16" compound radius baked maple fretboard combines a comfortable feel in the lower registers with a flatter setup for controlled solos in the upper registers. 22 jumbo frets create ideal conditions for fast, comfortable playing.

Powerful HH Tone for Rock and Metal

The HH pickup configuration with two direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbuckers delivers a punchy, balanced and commanding sound. The bridge pickup excels with punch, precise response and rich sustain for heavy riffs and singing leads. The neck pickup fills out the tone with powerful overdrive character, dense substance and, at lower volumes, clearer clean tones. The 3-way toggle switch lets you quickly toggle between pickup positions and tailor the sound to your playing.

Floyd Rose with EVH D-Tuna

The top-mount EVH Floyd Rose locking tremolo is designed for intense dive-bombs, vibrato effects and high tuning stability. Fine tuners at the bridge allow precise adjustments, while the brass block supports direct response. Particularly practical is the patented EVH D-Tuna, which lets you switch from standard tuning to drop-D in seconds. That makes the guitar especially appealing for modern riffs, heavy grooves and flexible setups on stage or in the studio.

Kill Switch for Distinctive Effects

An integrated additional kill switch expands the tonal possibilities with pronounced stutter and rhythmic effects. It lets you add more dynamics to your playing and execute both classic and modern performance techniques on the fly. The setup is rounded out by a smooth-turning volume knob for clean level swells and a stiffer tone knob that stays reliably in position even during aggressive playing.
