Here we have a pristine 2001 USA Peavey EVH Wolfgang Special W/T. All Original, Sunburst With OHC & Candy. This guitar has been cherished by its previous owner & as such, has no marks/dings or repairs anywhere. She comes with her original Peavey Case & booklets, also the original hand-penned ‘Final Inspection Checklist’ She plays and sounds just incredible, with super low action.

In some sense, the Peavey EVH Wolfgang guitar picked up where the Ernie Ball Music Man EVH model left off, with the prototype design being made by Peavey Design Engineer/Luthier Jim DeCola (an amber quilted top model which still didn’t have the Wolfgang headstock shape, but rather a Peavey classic one). On the second prototype, DeCola then developed the final body and headstock designs. Another innovative feature DeCola designed was the recessed truss rod adjustment wheel. Recessing the adjustment wheel into the neck provided a stronger neck joint as well as ease of adjustment like his previous model. This design has since been adopted by Fender, Jackson, Charvel, ESP, Schecter, and many other brands. The body was made of basswood and often had (like its predecessor) a maple cap. This combination is considered by some, such as renowned luthier John Suhr, “the Holy Grail of tone.”[3] The Ernie Ball model, however, used a 1/8″ figured maple cap, which is itself less likely to change the overall effect of the tonewood. Peavey Wolfgangs had maple caps ranging from 1/4″ to 5/8″. The guitar had a Floyd Rose vibrato system, built by Ping, which lowers pitch only (like the Ernie Ball Music Man EVH model) but added a d-Tuna on the low E-string, a device that allowed that string to be instantly tuned to and from D (a former design of this device, named “The Willie”,[4] was filed for patent by Eddie in 1997, but later abandoned in 1998).
