Engineered for speed, comfort and full-throttle attitude, the reimagined 5150® Series Standard is an iconic blast from the past that blends both throwback and modernized features.

Like its predecessor, the 5150 Standard features a modified Strat®-style basswood body with a deeper upper body curve. The graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable modified "C" profile, hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel and colour matched "hockey stick" headstock with EVH® logo decal. Built for smooth and speedy playability, the 12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays.

While the famed striped original had a single humbucking bridge pickup only, the all-new 5150 is outfitted with an HH pickup configuration controlled by a three-way toggle switch on the upper bout. 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. The EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucker neck pickup serves up no-nonsense, balls to the wall overdrive and endless sustain without skimping on articulate cleans when the volume is rolled down. A custom designed low friction volume knob creates even-volume tapering for the smoothest volume swells, while the high friction tone knob will stay in place even if accidentally bumped. An added new feature comes in the way of a lower bout kill switch, allowing you to mute your guitar for those stutter, rhythmic effects - think "You Really Got Me."

Decked out with a "dive-bomb" certified EVH-branded top-mount Floyd Rose® bridge, the locking tailpiece features fine tuners for each string and a patented EVH D-Tuna® for switching back and forth from drop-D to standard tuning in an instant. A high-octane, high performance axe, the 5150 Standard boasts screaming style in a Slime Green finish with all-chrome hardware, including the EVH-branded Gotoh® tuning machines.

When I saw EVH had this guitar coming out I knew right away I had to pick it up. The colour pops but isn't obnoxious at all, I think it's very tastefully done up. I own the first iteration of these without the kill switch as well. The control layout now makes a lot more sense having the 3-way toggle on the upper horn. I will also say that the consistency has improved. I played a few of these before deciding and it was really a coin toss, they were identical in their playability. The specs are great, for me anyway. The EVH Floyd in this has a brass block and a D tuna - love it. These 1000 series trems take an absolute pounding and stay in tune if set up right. The neck gets smoother as you play it and the wear in the finish until it's Charvel level smooth. I do value a quarter sawn one piece neck and this has it The fretboard was quarter sawn too and I've never seen that which is cool. The pickups are awesome, they're fat, articulate and have a chunky attack and very little to no mud. I often see people saying the Wolfgang pickups in these guitars aren't the USA ones and they're not, but go watch Cam Cooper on YouTube demo these MIM evh guitars and I think he even touches on this topic as well saying the difference is miniscule. I've owned both and fully agree with that. I don't want to change these pickups out at all. They're solid. Very happy with it, just wish I had two and that it came with a bag even.

EVH 5150 series. Awesome slime green that looks great in person. Ultra comfy neck and set up with low action. The humbuckers sound great and the EVH Floyd Rose w/D-Tuna work as they should. The added kill switch is a very neat bonus. Love the banana style headstock with matching paint job. Only gripe is how EVH/Fender are now wiring the toggle switch so that the down position is the bridge pickup etc. That was a quick fix with enough extra wire in the cavity to spin it around, the way Edward used to have it. Great feel, sound, and features. Highly recommended! Special thanks to Austin at the Oshawa store.

Bought this beauty brand new. Was more than I expected it to be. Pickups are hot, killswitch works well, pickup switch might be in the way for two handed tapping, so I flipped mine around like EVH did with his Wolfgangs. D-Tuna stays in tune. Very light handling due to the basswood. The maple neck feels almost bare and unfinished which is great if you like that kind of thing, and wide with the jumbo frets and compound scale. Gets nice and dirty in 3mos of hard playing. Buy two if you want to keep one totally white and fresh... I love the neon pink paint! Was a hard choice between the ice blue one and this pink one. Ultimately, the maple neck over the ebony sold me. Overall a great well playing, comfortable guitar. Really cooks. If you like Charvel or Jackson guitars, this one is up your alley with more features (D-Tuna, killswitch etc.)

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
