Edward Van Halen's guitars
PEAVEY WOLFGANG STANDARD

This guitar is absolutely the same as its black gloss twin. The EVH Wolfgang is the result of a collaboration between Peavey and legendary guitarist Edward Van Halen. Combining Edward's insight with Peavey's expertise in guitar manufacturing resulted in a versatile, fully professional instrument with its own personality.

In Ed's own words: "For as long as I've been playing guitar, I've always been searching for a certain feel and tone...I've experimented by tearing apart and reassembling hundreds of guitars in different ways searching for these qualities. Although I've ruined a lot of great guitars by having done this, I have learned what it takes to make a truly great guitar. The Wolfgang, after years of trial and error, (for me) is that guitar. Our collective efforts in designing the Wolfgang guitar have resulted in a versatile, quality-crafted guitar that feels great, sounds great and is truly inspiring to play. I've already put mine to the test in the studio and on tour and now it's your turn."
