EVH 5107726875 SA-126 Special Quilted Maple Electric Guitar - El Natural

EVH 5107726875 SA-126 Special Quilted Maple Electric Guitar - El Natural

The EVH SA-126 Special QM in El Natural is Wolfgang Van Halen’s bold vision of what a modern guitar should be. Blending semi-hollow resonance with solidbody punch, it is built to cover everything from articulate cleans and crunchy classic rock through to saturated modern gain, all while feeling instantly familiar in your hands.

At its core, the SA-126 Special is a chambered mahogany design with a basswood centre block, topped with a stunning quilt maple cap and wrapped in elegant multi-ply binding. A fast, graphite-reinforced bolt-on mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard, jumbo frets and a compound radius delivers effortless playability for intricate rhythm work and high-speed lead lines alike. Paired with EVH SA-126 humbuckers voiced by Tim Shaw and the EVH team, this guitar is primed for serious performance on stage and in the studio.

Thoughtful details run throughout the instrument. The 24.75 inch scale length and EVH Modified C backshape give a comfortable, slightly vintage feel, while modern touches like the heel-mounted spoke wheel truss rod adjustment and direct-mount pickups keep it firmly rooted in the 21st century. A Harmonica bridge with stoptail piece and oversized strap buttons round out a workhorse spec that is ready for demanding players who need stability, tuning confidence and rock-solid intonation.

Hybrid Semi-Hollow Meets Solidbody Design

The chambered mahogany body with a basswood centre block delivers the airy resonance and bloom you would expect from a semi-hollow instrument, combined with the focus, sustain and feedback control of a solidbody. This hybrid construction lets you move seamlessly from open, chiming chords to tight, palm-muted riffs without losing clarity or control.

Fast, Comfortable EVH Neck

A graphite-reinforced, bolt-on mahogany neck with a natural satin finish and EVH Modified C backshape feels smooth and broken-in from the first play. The 12 inch to 16 inch compound radius ebony fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets make big bends, fast legato runs and precise vibrato feel effortless right across the neck.

EVH SA-126 Humbuckers

Designed by Tim Shaw and the EVH team, the SA-126 humbuckers are voiced for maximum versatility. From cascading, glassy cleans to thick, harmonically rich overdrive, they respond dynamically to your picking and volume controls, making it easy to dial in everything from subtle crunch to full-bore gain without sacrificing note definition.

Player-Focused Hardware and Controls

A Harmonica bridge with stoptail piece provides rock-solid tuning stability and accurate intonation, while oversized strap buttons keep the guitar secure on stage. The three-way toggle on the upper horn, combined with individual volume and tone controls for each pickup, gives you instant access to a wide palette of sounds directly from the guitar.
