Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

EVH’s 5150 Deluxe brings a basswood body with a poplar burl top together with a graphite-reinforced, bolt-on quartersawn maple neck. Its ebony fingerboard uses a 12–16 inch compound radius and 22 jumbo frets. The two EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbuckers are selected from a three-way toggle, with a low-friction volume knob and a high-friction tone knob. An EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge provides per-string fine tuners, while the EVH D-Tuna switches between standard and drop-D tuning. A lower-bout kill switch adds rhythmic muting effects.
