Engineered for speed, comfort and full-throttle attitude, the reimagined 5150 Series DX is an iconic blast from the past that blends both throwback and modernized features.
Like its predecessor, the 5150 DX features a modified Strat-style basswood body with a deeper upper body curve. The graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn baked maple neck features a comfortable modified "C" profile, hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel and "hockey stick" headstock with EVH logo decal. Built for smooth and speedy playability, the 12"-16" compound radius baked maple fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays.

The custom designed EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking bridge pickup delivers the perfect amount of punch and articulation with sweet sustain and thick chunky rhythms in a perfectly balanced EQ curve.
