Edward Van Halen's guitars
PEAVEY WOLFGANG STANDARD

This guitar is very similar to the EB/MM in many ways but the EB/MM has a little higher pitched tone and a slightly brighter sound that corresponds more to the earlier EVH sound, while the Wolfgang has a "warmer" tone.

It really makes sense when you consider the evolution of the Edward's sound (and also the band's). So as far as which guitar is better when it comes to tone... one would think that it totally depends on which tone you like the best. One can't really see liking this one and hating the other. They are just too similar.

  • Measures: 12-5/8" wide, 1-3/4" thick, 36-1/4" long;
