Is this the Next Wolfgang Replacment?

[zyx345]

This is from the Peavy Forum. They have already announced the replacement will be called the HP Special. Could this be the next Wolfgang replacement?

Looks like yes.
It doesn't look that bad though.
Also I saw the replacement of 5150 amp too.

Hmm... I thought the press release announcing the 6505 said the Wolfgang replacement would be called the Carina?

Re: Is this the Next Wolfgang Replacment?

Yeah in other press releases the replacement for the Wolfgang has been called the Corina(sp?). I will say that it doesn't make that much sense to have this HP(with a custom shop option available) and a similar looking Wolfgang replacement. So I would say that this is the Wolfgang replacement. I think it's a nice looking guitar, and I'm excited to see what the custom shop has to offer

Reminds me of the older Peavey Impact JX, or Firenza. I wish they'd bring back the Impact 1 though. That was a fine guitar.

After snooping around over at the Peavey and Wolfgang Forum, this is the Wolfgang replacement. I guess at the last minute they decided to change the name. be cool to see what the Custom Shop will have to offer. I have a CS Wolfgang and it's an awesome guitar.

Interesting. Sounds like they are taking the wolfgang neck profile (which is my favorite thing about it) and running with it. I'm going to be curious as to what the price is... because if they think people are going to pay wolfgang prices for those guitars, they are screwed, blued and tatooed.

I don't really like it much, not horrible but I thought it would be a little better than that. I definately prefer the wolfgang to that. Surely they won't ask for Wolfgang proces on these, I don't think many people will pay it either.

It looks like a Gibson Grabber 'grabbed' a strat.

The wolfgang was a lot more original and attractive IMO.
Headstock is cool though [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Is this the Next Wolfgang Replacment?

Don't like it, the change in the upper horn makes the thing look unbalanced and disfigured to me. I'm sure they could have done something closer to the original.

Re: Is this the Next Wolfgang Replacment?

yeah, i think it's pretty hideous...they could do a little better than that.

I'm minority here I guess. I really like it. Fixes one of my visual complaints against the Wolfgang with the upper cutaway.
