ed's new wolfgang guitars

[ace diamond]

i was at garage center in san bernardino yesterday, and they had one up on the wall.
it's the tobacco burst one.
fuck me, what an awesome guitar!
that damned thing has got wicked sick tone for fucking days!!!
i was screwing around with different pedals and it sounded stellar no matter what i did.
not to mention, it has a really great feel.
now i only wish i could fucking afford to buy the damned thing!

has anyone else here tried one of these guitars out, or bought one?
if so, what did you think of it?

I tried one. It felt like it was made for midgets. The neck felt like it is stuffed too far back into the body...

[Jagermeister]

It should give head for as expenisive as they are.

[twonabomber]

haven't seen one around here yet.

I already wasn't a fan of the body style, and if the neck feels anything like the MM and Peavey versions...no thanks.

[Diamondjimi]

It does....

[jhale667]

It does....

That's what I figured. Nope, I still prefer the super-wide necks like he USED to use...

[jhale667]

Still interested to try the Frankenpickup, however...!

i was at Guitarget and Sam Ash today, and didn't even think to look for one of 'em...which probably explains my previous post.

Have not seen one around here at all, would like to though, it'd be nice to try one out. Even if I don't like it, still nice to try guitars out. The Sam Ash by me carries his line of amps though, if I remember correctly. In store, I mean. I think i've seen the stacks in the corner right before the bass section... We have a small Sam Ash by us

Never liked the body style. If I had the cash to buy one of those, I would go buy another Gibson Flying V, or perhaps a Dean V or something else really cool.

[VanHalenFan5150]

The body style is awkward, I never really liked it but it's interesting. I always like the Peavey Wolfgang (and what would later become Peavey HP) guitar bodies.

I have one of the Peavey ones. I'm a Strat and SG guy but I found myself reaching for my Wolfgang more and more and it's pretty much my main guitar. It took some getting used to and the body is thick and no back cut but as I played it more and more I just grew into it. I love the neck. Ed once said you have to play one for a year before it breaks in and becomes like your favorite pair of worn jeans. He was right. The wiring is top notch and the pickup is a perfect mix of warm to high output. Back off the volume and it cleans right up and roll the volume full open and the wonderful overdrive comes back. It is real amp friendly as well.

That's what i've generally heard about them. I've also heard that, even though the Music Man models were stellar guitars, many players preferred the Peavey models.

If you have an arch top Wolfgang the neck has a slight back angle like a Gibson and it's nicer to play. The Musicman has a straight neck like a Strat. The Wolfgang is like you took the best of a Strat, Les Paul, and Telecaster and combined them all. The body is a big chunk of wood but that is where your sustain and tone is coming from and it's basswood so it's light. A lot of people don't like the big chunky body and the non-finished neck. They are business guitars. Not something to hang on the wall and admire, they are something to throttle, abuse, and wear on. The Wolfgang is no prom queen, it's more of a biker chick.
