Nice - great sound and that color scheme is unreal. The multi pickup sounds fantastic - the clean tones just blew me away.

Thanks!! The clean tones are killer. I built that amp rig in the free version of Amplitube 5. If you (like me) can't afford something like a Kemper Profiler or a Line 6 Helix, Amplitube will let you get just about any amp you can imagine. That finish still blows me away days later. Every time I pull it out of the case I just stare at it for a couple minutes! LOL

Beautiful guitar and great video ! What I really love is I can tell how much you truly appreciate getting this guitar!! So awesome when people truly value what they are blessed with, unlike other people who just treat stuff they buy like it's just the toy of the moment.

I have a 98 peavey wolfgang. It came stock with only 2 springs also. I believe it’s because eddie only used 2 springs in his guitars. Mine came with a spare 3rd spring that i put on because i prefer 3 springs. Hope you enjoy your guitar

Love you demo here Timothy, especially clean tones and those with nice spatial/reverb effects. As others mentioned here, it is refreshing to watch a video where the genuine enthusiasm for your instrument is all there. What are your thoughts on some of the upgrades on this model that others talk about? Like tremolo improvements such as brass block, stainless steel saddles and springs? And changing the pickups to the USA spec? Do you think that is really necessary? Or just some of it?
@timbmusician

Thanks for the kind words! I really don't have much of an opinion on the other mods that you mentioned. I have noticed a little bit of detuning over time, but it's tough to say if that's the fault of cheaper saddles or bad setup on my part or just the normal amount of drift you get from leaving any instrument sit for a few days. As for the pickups, I'd have to hear an A/B comparison to have any kind of opinion on that.

Picked mine up yesterday. Can you confirm re the fret material? Mine aren’t stainless - I can’t imagine them being stainless at this price point. I would second the comment about the FR1000 saddles, worthwhile upgrade on the FR Special trem
@timbmusician

Yeah, I made a mistake in the video. It doesn't mention the fret material on the website for the Standard but it says stainless on other (more expensive) models. So I assumed it was the same on all of them. But that's incorrect. Pretty sure it's nickel.

Scuzzy, I don't want to be a party-pooper but the EVH Wolfgang Standard is made in the Cort factory in Indonesia...same factory where Squier Bullets and a host of other US guitar brands have their medium to cheap range guitars built, such as PRS, ESP, Schecter, Music Man, including Ibanez, Yamaha and less known brands, such as Harley Benton's Fusion range. Nothing wrong with that because Cort can manufacture excellent guitars (if they want to). Here in Australia, the model you bought would set me back $1,400 or more. If I bought it in Germany, only $859. Compared to the Harley Benton, which costs around half (i.e. $600), Fender (who have a deal with EVH) are making a fortune in markups, especially since inferior hardware is used, such as the Floyd Rose Special which costs half that of the regular, all steel, Floyd Rose. Generally, I hate FR-style tremolos anyway. I got sick of cutting off ball-ends in the 1980's. Also, the so-called EVH Wolfgang pickups are no name pickups that are probably made in China. At best, you can hope for a Korean-made pickup. They are most likely purchased for $5 few dollars per pickup. The quilted maple "top" isn't a top but either a photo finish or a 1.5mm thin veneer. Standard B.S. from Cort. Looks great but it's not a 1/4 inch top. As you noticed yourself, quality control sucks, and apart from the compound neck, the guitar has no special features... at least not for me. The EVH website states: "EVH-BRANDED FLOYD ROSE SPECIAL LOCKING TREM & R2 LOCKING NUT"...and? It's still just the cheapest FR on the market. The EVH Wolfgang pickups are inferior to the Seymour Duncan TB-11 or DiMarzio Super Distortion...and I'd expect amazing pickups for that money. Yep, marketing and hype, my friends. The solid coloured guitars go for $777 in Germany which is a more 'reasonable' price. An EVH Wolfgang at that price might interest me but Fender (the distributor) forbids shipping internationally. It's all about money and market control, baby. Having said all of this, I want you to enjoy your purchase.

Differences in international pricing is a nightmare, for sure. $1400AU vs $700US? That's insane! I did a little poking around and I found that the pickups in the Wolfgang Standards are the same as in the other Wolfgang's. They're not just some cheap knockoffs that had the EVH name slapped on them, which does make them a pretty great deal. It's as though they said, "Let's just start with the pickups and build an inexpensive guitar around them." Sure, some people may prefer the sound of other pickup brands, but that's just personal preference to me. Do you like the sounds you're getting? Yes? Great! No? Ok, try something else. Mine sound great, IMO. Aside from the loose knobs, I haven't found any other issues at all with the build quality. Indonesian or whatever, they do know how to put together a fine guitar. And who knows? Mine could have loosened during shipping getting tossed around from boat to boat. I haven't had any trouble at all with the Floyd Rose Special. It's worked perfectly. Stays in tune great. In fact, the only tuning trouble I've had has been from the d-Tuna I installed after the fact. It's incredibly fiddly to get it in tune on both the E and D positions, but once I do, it stays in tune for days. Unless I change strings or retune from standard to a half-step down. Then I have to fiddle around for awhile to get it balanced. Now I am, admittedly, a Kool-aid drinking VH fan. So, it is possible I am biased beyond my ability to recognize it at this point. That said, I still think it's a great guitar and now, 7 months later, I still don't have any complaints. Will it stack up against a guitar that costs 3 times as much? Probably not. But it's still going to be my number 1 pick when I go to play for a long time.
