Any EVH Wolfgang Players Here?

So the top of my GAS list for a long time has been a Music Man Axis. I just haven't had the enough cash in my gear fund to seriously pursue an Axis. Last weekend I saw a EVH Wolfgang Special at a local store and decided to give it a try and instantly loved it. The best thing was the price tag was ove $700 less than the Axis. I have been thinking about the EVH ever since. While searching the Internet I came across the Wolfgang Stealth and instantly my GAS was overwhelming. I have a thing for black guitars and a Wolfgang in flat black with an ebony board is about as GAS inducing as it gets.

Anyone here have a EVH Wolfgang and what is your opinion? One thing that I'm struggling with is the guitar being made in China at that kind of price but the reviews are all great for the Special.
 
I REALLY like that stealth model, the one you posted, and i've sworn off black guitars.

I hear good things about these.

Are these MIJ? MIK? I don't think i've ever looked into it.

They were made in Japan but heard the move production to China last year. I have to look at the one I played again. I assumed it was MIJ but maybe not. If it were MIJ I would have placed the order already.

I don't know they just didn't move production to their MIM facility. That's where the striped guitars are being made now.

MIM would be fine I could justify the price for MIM and certainly for MIJ but MIC I don't know. $1300 for a Chinese guitar just doesn't sit right.
 
:Wave: Saturn!

I picked up a MIJ Wolfgang Special earlier this year for $799 at the Davenport, IA GC in vintage white, so there may still be some MIJs floating around out there. I ended up returning it, as it just wasn't for me, but it was a really good guitar, save for the sharp fret ends.

The one I tried was vintage white. I couldn't find anything bad about it. But the Stealth just gives me tingly feelings and I need a guitar with a Floyd and really like the D-Tuna. I'll have to spend some more time playing one. Maybe I can sneak away from work today for some more playing time.
 
SVH917 has an EVH Wolfgang Special in quilted tobacco burst. Great guitar.

I have two of the Peavey Wolfgangs...a goldtop Standard (carved top and birdseye neck and fretboard) and a green American Flametop Special (flat top, flamed maple top, plain maple neck and fretboard.)

Both are great guitars. If you're not dead set on the current line, you can probably find a MIA Peavey Special used for $6-800.
 
Save some cash by going to guitarcenter.com and check out their used section. They have a ton of Wolfies for sale plus, they have an eb mm axis in purple for 899

I'll check it out. Maybe I can find a used Stealth. $899 for a Axis is a really good price.

Yeah, that's a nice guitar he has. IMO though he needs to raise the action a bit. It frets-out on string bends.


I remember about a year ago or so, Elderly's had a couple of the $3k EVH's and a couple of the $1300 (or whatever they go for), and the cheaper ones played better, quite frankly.
 
Well I found a used Wolfgang Special at a store about 2.5 hours north of me. I actually have to go up there for work next week. I may have to stop in and check it out.
