Electric guitars from the master himself
Welcome to the world of EVH, the brand that represents the legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen, known as one of the most influential guitarists of all time, created EVH to reflect his spirit of innovation and his love of music. Eddie Van Halen stands not only for brilliant and epoch‑making guitar solos, but also for the legendary instruments on which he showcased his groundbreaking playing.
Early in his career he built his own guitars, like the legendary Frankenstein. Later he teamed up with Peavey to develop the groundbreaking 5150 guitar amp. A few years ago Eddie entered into a cooperation with Fender, which resulted not only in the now third version of the 5150 guitar amplifier but also in various iterations of his perfectly conceived and crafted Wolfgang electric guitars.
