Okay im recently guitar shoping and ive been trying to get some help, so please help!?
i was wondering if anyone knows if the peavey wolfgang captures the classic van halen sound, im sure i dunt need to explain what i mean by classic, but please if anyone knows, help me out
It's not the guitar but the player dude.
No it does not...
It's all in the fingers! Well almost..
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 $$$.
If you listen to fools
The Mob Rules
Well thanks for your thoughts
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.
Well thanks, but does it have the tools to capture the classic vh sound
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...
Well i do know some Van Halen, SO your saying the sound can be gotten from a wolfgang?
Yep, it has the tools.Originally posted by DLRdelight!
Well thanks, but does it have the tools to capture the classic vh sound
Sure...
Those are nice guitars with the right pickups and hardware for the Van Halen sound...
Decent price from Musicians Friend too...
So do you guys agree on that it can really get the job done?
I think what the majority is saying is that the brand of guitar doesn't make much difference.Originally posted by DLRdelight!

If you want an Eddie tone then the Wolfgang could be a starting point.
Any alder body with a Gibson PAF pickup and a Floyd would get you there.
But the amp is as important as the guitar as well.
To be honest, if you want the old school VH sound then i'd try an find an old Charvel and build one like Ed's "Franky"Originally posted by DLRdelight!

It will cost more than the Wolfgang Import you are looking at though.
Alright thanks, you all have been very helpul. The amp i have is a peavey transtube 212 II special. Since he used that guitar in the late van hagar years and on VH 3 that is definately a sound i want to tay away from. but heres a link to the amo i have

yeah thats waht my teacher said, to make one out aof a charvel body
So you guys think i should just make sumthin out of a charvel body and make it from there
Just buy a decent guitar with a floyd and good p/up (this could be a wolfgang,yeah). I can't imagine that you've already got the skills to slap an axe together.
alright, thanks for all, if any more opinions feel free to post
I build guitars as a hobby...
There's a little more to it that just putting parts together...
Buy the Peavey...
Nice guitar for a nice price...
Thats awesome that you build guitars man, and i know its more than putting pieces together, i was just saying it in simple words, but its been hard to determine if the wolfgang can get the sound
I think it can...
I've gotten very close to Edward's early tone with an Yngwie Malmsteen spec Stratocaster.. it's just a bit thinner...
I like the pickups in the Wolfgang...Loud and clean...not overly powerful...
To get ed's sound is more than just ripping off his licks. Ed has a very unstructered and loose playing style. But don't think just because he plays loose that he is not very precise at what he does. Like someone said, Ed sounds like Ed on any guitar he plays. Really any guitar with a paf pickup and a tubed marshall head cranked to 10 will give you the classic sound you are looking for. So i would invest in a marshall head and go from thare.
thank you all
Now buy the damn guitar...
get the purple quilt top...
hahahahah, yeah thats another problem hahahah Why do you say purple my friend? I was thinking maybe Sunburst. For the record i hate blue colored guitars, and i like that amber shit, and the maroon one, i unno
Fuck, i made a mistake, i hate that amber shit
I like purple on quilt...
Sunburst is a better classic color though...
Hey, did you see some of my guitars ??
Nope, but id sure as hell want to, please do share
Page two or three of Cato's thread; Can I show my guitars, or some shit...
Sucks that those two were stolen. That is a great collection, so your a lefty?
Yeah man...
Thats cool, i remember i tried to play that way, man it was tuff, seems unbelievable
I'm partial to the Sunburst myself. Purple works for me also.
I hate Gold guitars, especially the Gold Top Les Pauls. they remind me to much of the old Slingerland drum sets with the crazy sparkle colored shells.
