This second hand guitar is in great condition

The EVH Wolfgang WG Standard Exotic Bocote is one of those guitars that instantly grabs you with its looks, then surprises you with how much performance it packs for the price. It’s part of EVH’s push to bring the Wolfgang feel and tone to more accessible price points, without losing the attitude and playability Eddie Van Halen designed into the platform.

Design & Build Quality

The standout feature is obviously the bocote top, a striking exotic wood with dramatic grain patterns. EVH pairs it with:

• A basswood body for balanced mids and a comfortable weight
• A “comfort cut” forearm contour for better ergonomics
• Masked natural binding, giving it a boutique aesthetic at a mid‑range price

The guitar is built in Indonesia, and the fit and finish are consistently praised. Visually it’s a knockout.

Neck & Playability

This is where the Wolfgang DNA really shines.

• Baked maple neck and fingerboard for stability and a smooth, dry feel
• Graphite reinforcement rods to resist humidity and temperature changes , great for gigging or travel
• 12"–16" compound radius for easy chording low on the neck and fast bends up high
• 22 jumbo frets with rolled edges for comfort and speed

The neck carve is the classic Wolfgang backshape, a slightly asymmetrical profile that feels substantial without being chunky. It’s fast, comfortable, and very “EVH.”

 Electronics & Tone

The WG Standard Exotic Bocote uses direct‑mount EVH Wolfgang humbuckers in both positions. These are voiced for:

• High output
• Tight low end
• Clear mids
• Smooth but present highs

They’re not as refined as the pickups in the USA or Special models, but they deliver the aggressive, articulate EVH sound convincingly.

Controls

• 1 volume (high‑friction pot to prevent accidental swells)
• 1 tone
• 3‑way toggle

Simple, effective, and very much in line with Eddie’s philosophy: fewer distractions, more playing.

Hardware

The guitar features:

• EVH‑branded Floyd Rose Special locking tremolo
• EVH‑branded tuners
• Spoke‑wheel truss rod adjustment for quick tweaks

Strengths

• Fast, comfortable neck
• Punchy, aggressive EVH tone
• Excellent tuning stability once set up
• Lightweight and ergonomic
• Stunning visual appeal

 Ideal For

• Players who want the EVH feel and tone without jumping to the Special or USA models
• Rock and metal guitarists who rely on tremolo work
• Anyone who wants a visually striking guitar that still performs like a workhorse
• Fast‑neck players who love compound radii and jumbo frets

The EVH Wolfgang WG Standard Exotic Bocote is a killer mid‑range guitar that delivers far more than its price suggests. You get the unmistakable Wolfgang ergonomics, a fast and stable baked maple neck, aggressive direct‑mount humbuckers, and a Floyd that’s gig‑ready with a proper setup.

The bocote top elevates it from “good value” to “seriously cool,” making it one of the most visually distinctive guitars in its class.

If you want the EVH vibe without spending Wolfgang Special money, this is one of the best ways to get it.
