“The goal was to put together a guitar that didn’t exist yet”: After years of anticipation, Wolfgang Van Halen’s long-awaited EVH SA-126 signature guitar is finally here – and it’s arrived on Eddie’s birthday

EVH SA-126 Special.

After nearly two years of patiently waiting for its official release, Wolfgang Van Halen’s flagship EVH signature guitar – the EVH SA-126 Special – has finally arrived.

Of course, the arrival of the long-awaited instrument brings to an end 20-plus long months of anticipation, but the significance of the drop stretches far beyond that. Indeed, today (January 26) marks Eddie Van Halen’s birthday – the very day the guitar itself was named after.
