It's not the guitar but the player dude.

[ELVIS]

No it does not...

[turboblues]

It's all in the fingers! Well almost..

[ELVIS]

It is

GET AN OLP COPY - SAME DEAL, EXCEPT YOU GET TO IMPORT MORE UNEMPLOYMENT IN THIS COUNTRY - ESPECIALLY IN MERIDIAN, MISSISSIPPI WHERE WHITE TRASH CAN RISE TO THEIR LEVEL OF INCOMPLETANCE.

If ANYTHING, the fabled "BrownSound" is ONLY in Ed's fucked up fingers... He plays many different guitars on most of the albums, and it sound great. Old Flying V is on "Hot for Teacher" so again, that poorly constructed Peavey P.O.S. ain't gonna do anything except waste your $$$.

[DLRdelight!]

Well thanks for your thoughts

[DLRdelight!]

Okay, the Wolfgang costs 600 and i really need help, i know it depends on the player very much, but all i want to know is if it can get the job done and get thr right sound

Ed sounds like Ed on whatever guitar he plays. (currently that sound is shit)
The guitar doesn't matter as much as learning to play in Ed's style.

I suggest you continue shopping and find the guitar that fits you and your ear best, then work on fingering technique "Edward Style"

Curt Mitchell has a couple of videos out that will help you accomplish this much faster and better than trying to buy it in a guitar.
The "Brownsound" is more feeling than tone anyway.

P.S. The Wolfgang is a nice guitar, but way to overpriced as are most axe's today.
But if the Wolf is the one that fits you best, buy it.

They don't work well with my meaty paws. I need bigger frets and a flat neck to rip.
but i've been playing Jackson/Charvels for over 20 years, lol...I'm ruined and stuck on them.

[DLRdelight!]

Well thanks, but does it have the tools to capture the classic vh sound

[DLRdelight!]

Oh well, here is the wolfgang i have in my mind but what really matters if it can get the sound because if not, theres no point

if you can play some Van Halen, it certainly can be done on a Peavey Wolfgang...

Find one on ebay for half the price or less...

[DLRdelight!]

Well i do know some Van Halen, SO your saying the sound can be gotten from a wolfgang?
