EVH Wolfgang Bridge Humbucker Pickup

Fantastic pickup, i put it into Evh Wolfgang special to replace import pickup. It has more charity. I recommend it.

The pickup itself is great after the tech got it working. The pickup is very balanced with the treble and bass The mids sound to me like a healthy amount of mids without being honky. The harmonics are amazing as you would guess. It's versatile in the fact that I can use it for blues, rock and metal. I compared to my other favorite pickup the SD Jb and it sounds bit less girthy and has a tighter low end but plenty enough lows to fill out the sound. It reminds me of the airy sound of a pearly gates but with more meat and a bit more in your face sound. I loved it and I'm thinking about installing it in another guitar. It kinda sits in the same ballpark as my jb but differs in the harmonics and the airiness. It doesn't sound like a high gain pickup but more of a medium to high. Now to the bad. I received this pickup while it was on backorder. Apparently everything EVH is back ordered. I was so surprised when I got the package and my pickup arrived despite gc website saying it's still on back order. My local guitar tech said it appeared to be used as the ends were tinned and after installing it didn't work. He said he re-established the leads to the pickup and it worked. I think GC sent me a returned pickup. Luckily the tech got it working and I absolutely love the sound. My stars are for the evh pickup but gc really deserves a 1 star as this would have been very upsetting if the pickup didn't work and knowing they sent me a return. I cannot say for sure but this is what appears to have happened. Again, luckily it worked.

I broke out an old piece of junk guitar I had and decided to "hot-rod" it a tad. In searching for pickups, I decided on this one simply because Eddie typically puts out pretty amazing products. This thing is really, really hot. Harmonics come effortlessly. I put this thing in an old Charvel that has a plywood body, and it honestly sounds like a $2500 guitar now.

I put this pickup in a cheap 80's guitar made from plywood, and now it sounds like a $2500 guitar. It has a really full sound to it, and it's an extremely hot pickup. If you're into Van Halen or pretty much any metal band, then this is the perfect pickup. You can play anything from Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer to Dream Theater and it just sounds perfect.
