The MusicStreet Setup Advantage: Why Your EVH Guitar Deserves It
EVH guitars are built for high-speed technical playing, featuring compound-radius fingerboards, high-output custom pickups, and rock-solid Floyd Rose tremolo systems with the D-Tuna detuner. However, to truly unlock the potential of a high-performance instrument, the setup must be flawless. Factory setups are designed for speed of manufacturing, not the precision required for low-action, buzz-free shredding.
At MusicStreet, we ensure your EVH plays at its absolute peak. We perform a **free £75 professional workshop setup** on every single EVH guitar we sell. Our expert luthiers adjust the truss rod, file the nut slots, level the bridge saddles, and polish the frets to ensure your new instrument plays with a comfortable, buzz-free low action straight out of the box.
🔧 Free £75 Professional Setup
Every EVH guitar is individually set up in our in-house workshop. We adjust the action, intonation, and neck relief to match your playing style, ensuring it plays perfectly straight out of the box.
🛡️ 12-Month Warranty
We stand behind every instrument we sell. All of our EVH guitars come with a full 12-month warranty, giving you complete peace of mind with your purchase.
🚚 Free UK Delivery & 7-Day Returns

Frequently Asked Questions About EVH Guitars
What is the EVH D-Tuna? +
The EVH D-Tuna is a patented device installed on the low E string of Floyd Rose tremolo systems. It allows players to instantly drop the tuning from E to D (and back again) with a simple slide of a lever, without having to unclamping the locking nut or retuning the guitar.
What is included in your £75 professional setup? +
Our expert in-house technicians perform a complete multi-point inspection. This includes adjusting the neck relief (truss rod), setting the optimal string action (height) at both the nut and bridge saddles, setting the intonation, cleaning and conditioning the fretboard, polishing the frets, checking all electronics/pots, and installing a fresh set of premium strings.
What is a compound-radius fingerboard? +
A compound-radius fingerboard features a rounder radius at the nut (typically 12") for comfortable chord playing, which gradually flattens out to a flatter radius (typically 16") as you move up the neck. This allows for effortless string bending and fast soloing without the strings "choking out."
Can I trade in my old gear toward a purchase? +
Absolutely. We offer a highly competitive part-exchange program. You can bring your gear directly to our Huntingdon showroom for an on-the-spot valuation, or contact us online with photos and details to receive a preliminary trade-in estimate.
EVH Guitars: Engineered for High-Performance & Innovation
Eddie Van Halen was not just one of the greatest guitarists of all time; he was also an obsessive gear innovator who spent his career modifying guitars and amplifiers to push the boundaries of what was possible. EVH Guitars is the culmination of that lifelong pursuit of tone and playability, offering instruments that are built to handle the most demanding playing styles.
Whether you are looking to buy an EVH guitar online or testing one in our showroom, these instruments deliver unmatched speed, stability, and high-output punch.
The EVH Design Philosophy: Built for Speed & Stability
Every EVH guitar is packed with custom-engineered features designed by Eddie himself to solve common performance bottlenecks:
- Compound-Radius Fingerboards: EVH necks feature a 12"-16" compound radius. The fretboard is rounder near the nut for comfortable chord playing, and gradually flattens out as you move up the neck to allow for lightning-fast solos and wide, buzz-free string bends.
- Graphite-Reinforced Maple Necks: To withstand the rigors of touring and temperature changes, EVH necks are reinforced with graphite rods, ensuring rock-solid stability and perfect alignment.
- The EVH D-Tuna: A revolutionary device pre-installed on Floyd Rose-equipped models. With a simple flick of your finger, the D-Tuna instantly drops your low E string to D and back again, giving you instant drop-D tuning stability without needing to unlock the nut.
Iconic Series: Wolfgang, Striped, and 5150
Our collection features EVH's most celebrated designs, built to deliver professional-grade performance:
- The EVH Wolfgang Series: Eddie’s signature design. Featuring an ergonomic basswood body, custom-wound EVH Wolfgang humbuckers, and a baked maple neck, the Wolfgang is the ultimate high-performance workhorse.
- The EVH Striped Series: Recreations of Eddie’s iconic hand-striped guitars. Featuring the legendary red, white, and black striped graphics, these guitars offer raw, single-pickup simplicity and a Floyd Rose tremolo with D-Tuna.
- The EVH 5150 Series: A modern take on the classic double-cutaway design. Featuring a modified body shape, custom electronics, and a kill-switch for stutter effects, the 5150 is built for modern metal and shred.
The Music Street Difference: Professional Setup Included
A high-performance guitar with a locking tremolo system requires an incredibly precise setup to play its best. Unlike box-shifting online retailers, our expert team in Huntingdon treats every EVH guitar with the absolute care it deserves. Our in-house luthiers perform a complete, professional setup on every instrument before shipping, adjusting the truss rod, bridge height, Floyd Rose tension, and intonation to ensure your new EVH plays flawlessly straight out of the box.
