The EVH SA-126 Special is Wolfgang Van Halen's bold reimagining of what a guitar can be for the discerning player of the 21st century. Seamlessly merging the resonant qualities of a semi-hollow body with the steadfast durability of a solid body, this guitar is designed to excel in versatility. Co-created with Fender's Tim Shaw and the EVH team, the custom SA-126 pickups provide a sonic palette that ranges from the pristine clarity of clean tones to the all-consuming roar of high-gain settings, ensuring that no genre is beyond reach.
With its tasteful combination of aesthetics and functionality, the SA-126 Special not only sounds exceptional but also feels intuitively familiar to the hands of the musician. The chambered mahogany body, adorned with a basswood centerblock and exquisite finish options, provides a warm tonal base while the graphite-reinforced mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with a compound radius ensure playability for all styles. It's a modern classic, with a flair for performance and a nod to tradition, making it a sublime choice for guitarists looking to make a powerful statement on stage and in the studio.

As with all EVH guitars, the SA-126 Special is designed to push boundaries. The innovative hybrid body design combines elements of a semi-hollow and solid body guitar, creating a unique sonic profile that is both resonant and stable. This makes it ideal for players who demand versatility in their sound and need a guitar that can keep up with them.
The inclusion of the EVH® Harmonica bridge coupled with a stoptail piece stands out as a significant feature, enhancing sustain and resonance. Its robust design contributes to a stable tuning experience and a rich harmonic overtone series, ensuring that each note played is full, clear, and vibrant. This thoughtful design element aligns with the requirements of professional players who desire a dependable instrument that performs consistently under rigorous conditions.
The SA-126 Special's EVH® Modified "C" Backshape neck provides a substantial yet comfortable grip, offering the perfect contour for both chord work and intricate lead playing. Melding classical comfort with modern playability requirements, it caters to a range of playing styles, ensuring that the transition from rhythm to lead is seamless and that players can navigate the entire neck with ease.
Built with meticulous attention to sonic detail, the Direct Mount EVH® SA-126 bridge and neck humbucking pickups capture nuances in a way that lends authenticity to every musical genre. These pickups are engineered to produce a tonal spectrum that spans silky smooth clean passages to the raw, aggressive sound that defines rock music. The intuitive placement of controls further empowers players to sculpt their signature sound with precision, illustrating the SA-126 Special's commitment to versatility.
