EXCELLENT. The guitar has obviously been little played and has remained in an excellent condition. Apart from a few minimal surface blemishes in the clearcoat only, on the body, as well as some barely visible belt buckle wear on rear side of the instrument, there are no cosmetic or technical issues with the guitar. All parts still shine as new out of the factory box.
- This is without doubt just a perfect rock guitar and the ultimate combination of beauty and function. Sings and cuts without end! Developed to the exact specifications by Eddie Van Halen, with excellent tone and unbelievably ergonomic handling, this instrument can be considered a natural development of EVH's previous signature model by Music Man, just one step closer to perfection. However, since EVH went away from Peavey, this model is not produced anymore, and the Wolfgangs remaining in good condition have become much sought after collector's items.
- Finish: Black, with chrome hardware.
- Body: Basswood - a wood known for its very good resonance qualities.
- Neck: Best maple - back of the neck unpainted, hand oiled and waxed for a smooth satin feel. The neck is a pleasure to grab, feels perfect to your hand and plays just fantastic! Bolt-on neck construction - this enables a fast, precise attack response, while retaining a full, "fat" tone.
- Scale: 25.5" - Standard.
- Fretboard: Best maple, 15“ (381 mm) fretboard radius.
- Frets: 22.
- Headstock: Black.
- Tuners: Closed type, 3+3 design.
- Bridge: Non-tremolo, Tune-o-matic with stoptail.
- Pickups: 2x Custom Peavey Wolfgang EVH humbuckers (bridge and neck) - designed to EVH's specifications, these pickups really rock and would put every Les Paul ashame! Despite being rather high output models, based on ceramic magnets, they can also sound warm enough if necessary, are very dynamic and absolutely quiet. Please note that these pickups were developed by Peavey exclusively for the Wolfgang USA guitars and were/are not available for purchase on separate basis.
- Alternatively, upon request of the purchaser, we can also perform a professional installation of a different pickup combination, e.g. any DiMarzio, EMG or Seymour Duncan etc. (Very fair prices per pickup swap). Furthermore, we offer installation of active boost and EQ circuits like EMG Afterburner, PA-2, SPC, RPC, VMC, EXG etc. Please ask for details if interested.
- Electronics: 1x volume, 3-way pickup selector switch.
- Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftsmanship, handling and sound!
- The guitar comes with a high quality orig. Peavey Wolfgang hardcase.
