beautiful guitar bro! I hope to one day soon have one myself. They really are thr cream of the crop and if anyone lraves negative comments, there just jealous. Ive played both the Special and the standard and they both rock. Best of luck with your new awesome axe!
I agree - this is a GREAT sounding guitar!! Since I can't afford the real thing I bought the EVH pickups. Can you tell me the height from pick up to string for the bridge pickup (in particular the back row nut part since it sits higher)?
Warning.I had a Black Special and the pickup's where awsome, Plugged it right into the Little One 12 Inch Specker Marshall, No pedals..And it was the Fair Warning Tour all Over Again.
@VanAllan5 Yes, It had a Case,Bar,Book..And it smeeled really good when you Opened it. It did not have the D-Tuna, But, that neck was Glass Smoth..And the sound was Top Of the line..I also had a Music Man Eriie Ball but that's a Diff Story.
@BarryPuppetSoetoro61 Cool. Where'd you get it? and if you were to describe the tone of a certain band, what would you say the guitars tone sounds like?
@VanAllan5 I bought the Black Special with the a traded about 3 guitars in One.A B.C.Mongingbird With Emg81's in the Neck and Brige. With Floyd non-Lineced, It was dark Purple and Came From the Late 80's..An Acostic Guitar and something else, that was like, 2003..Anyway's My teacher Said If you Don't Get it I am. The Action was Very Nice, The Neck was unfinshed Maple.Overall sould Pluged Into a Marshall, I had a 900 it got Stolen,Has a Very nice Bright,Clean, Great Sounding Guitar(.BROWNSOUND!).
Congrats, everyone that says it's way too much probably play les pauls. The EVH is much nicer. $3000.00 for a custom guitar is nothing. They're built with CNC equipment .
Much better than a les Paul that cost over 2000.00. Les pauls are over priced for 1950's technology.
ah right. i was just wondering if the special came with a case. but i now the answer for myself because now i have got a black wolfgang special and when i played it through my awful fatrat amp i thought i now owned a marshall :)
I like the guitar but don't think they're worth $3k. I have a Peavy Clone that cost me less to have made with an emerald quilted burst. I love the thing.
i know for a fact that the Music man feels better. THe sound is debateable but I like the EVH one better. and FYI, I own the EVH special. I think it is fucking insane that the American made is $3000
dude tha tguitar is freakin awesome, I decided that iam going to get the evh special, the other one is a little to much for my price range. damn beautiful guitar though, Rock out bro!!!
I have played the new wolfgang and it is no comparison to the ernie ball musicman axis. Much better and half the price. Eddie just wants money now and this new guitar is not worth 3grand. I love eddie but money has taken over him. Stick to the musicman axis.
I noticed at the end of the video that you have other guitars. Are you a collector? I am interested on buying the EVH wolfgan. However, I need to know the feel of it. Are you an experienced guitarrist? Let me know. Thanks.
Well, I finally got my Fender-made EVH Wolfgang. I am really impressed with the quality of this guitar. Absolutely Flawless! I'm not quite sure about the tone, though. It sounds a little darker or beefier than his original tone. Don't get me wrong, this guitar guitar still sounds great. I just know Eddies tone and have been seeking it for decades. Anyway, I love the NEW EVH Wolfie and it is now my main axe on stage. Glad we could share something in common. Keep Jammin' and Rock will never die!
Hey, just wanted to let you know that I got a kick out of your video. I can sense your excitment and pride in owning this fine guitar. I too, will soon be getting the new EVH Wolfgang...same color as yours (I think that is the classiest color out of them all) and when it finally arrives in my hands, I'll probably have a difficult time not staring at it and putting it down. But, enjoy your new Wolfie...I know I will!
dude..! I have the exact same axe! Number WG 00040 A ! Fuckin kick-ass! Cept my tremblo is outa wack. But other than that, she is as smooth as silk.
I run thru a 5150 III, straight! The set was gifted to me, a token of appreciation, therefore the trem issue is probably negligence. An adjustment, Im sure. Very cool! Thanks for the share! Peace. G
Funny how they didn't use F-spaced (Trembucker) pickups... just regular non-tremolo spaced ones. They must be really hot pickups to prevent the strings going in and out of the pole when bending.
Otherwise, an amazing-looking machine. I would much rather plunk down $3K on this than some tired Les Paul or Strat re-issue.
its beautiful i have the fire burst looking one 3000 dollars i had to go with eddies original body color the flame or sun burst whatever the fuck you call it
I absolutely love my Ernie Ball EVH, the Peavey not so much. How does this one rank. I personally think the peavey was a step down vs. the Music man. Thoughts? Comments? Is this guitar worth 3 grand?
@zeman1000 Its 100% worth it dude. He came out with two new colors also. Cherry Sunburst and Traans Amber. I'm getting the Cherry Sunburst and its worth every dime!
If they can Afford this kind of guitar the more power to them!!..if he wants to learn on this guitar !!thats AWESOME!!!..why down him for owning a beautiful guitar! because some of you cannot afford it thats why!!!
While I can agree on that partially, one certainly does not need a professional grade guitar to simply 'have fun' on. I really hope you get out there and gig with it. I'd be damned if my 1958 reissue Les Paul were a hobby guitar.
Great guitar, too bad you can't play it very well. I'm sorry to be harsh dude....little kids don't need pro guitars like that unless you got shows n shit lined up and a legit career in the works. Having eds guitar aint gonna make you play like him, so make sure you bust your fuckin ass practicing too and getting the most out of that instrument!
have had a 1992 evh ernie ball music man guitar since 1993 and have played the crap outta it! also have a 1999 peavey wolfgang and i like the body but am not a fan of the neck, i mean it's ok but takes some warming up to really get comfy on it where as the ernie ball feels great right away.
i own a 1997 wolfgang , the black one standard and i gotta say it's the better instrumet i played ! ... heavy humbs , great neck ! eddie did a great guitar ! 5 sars for your new wolfie !
i love everything abiut the guitar but i still prefer the birdeye neck like on the peavey the one on the evh is a bit planier but the headstock is way betterLLEVH (LONG LIVE EDDIE VAN HALEN)
It's not that bad really. I also tried this guitar in a store(to see what the fuss was about), this guitar easily makes any other guitar sound like utter trash.
beautiful guitar bro! I hope to one day soon have one myself. They really are thr cream of the crop and if anyone lraves negative comments, there just jealous. Ive played both the Special and the standard and they both rock. Best of luck with your new awesome axe!
