Peavey EVH Wolfgang?

[MortenP]

Yesterday I found a used Wolfgang in one of the shops here, and for what I figure - a reasonable price..Thing is, I don't know how to see the difference between the USA-made ones or the korean...(I'm guessing that the USA-ones have a stamp on them that says "Made in USA") but I'm gonna ask for some help from you guys anyway..

How does the USA and korean models compare? Would a korean one in used shape be worth 500 usd with case?

The Korean specials are all (veneer)quilt tops (maroon/blue/amber/tobacco burst)and Eds sig on the back of the headstock is stamped (not burnt in) they also have cheaper hardware than the US models. Read more here........

The one I found was a flat top in white that had aged, and to me it looked like EVH's signature was burnt or somewhat signed on the back of the headstock..USA then?

If it's a white flat-top, then it's a USA special. Go for it!

I got my purple USA in a time capsule..it shall not be played..ever!

that's enough of that one..

If it's a white flat-top, then it's a USA special. Go for it!

I got the price wrong, the correct price is 660 usd, including case...I still don't think that's a bad price, considering the playability and sound you get out of it!!

Don't know much about Ernie Balls, but I think 660 bucks for a USA EVH model with case is a pretty good deal, especially in Europe. Just doing a quick browse of EBay and Craiglist they seem to be going for around 2 grand. I say nail that thing and run like the cops are chasing you.

[jwoods986]

2 grand would be for a USA Standard (archtop), $660 is about right for a Special. But considering he's in Norway, that's probably a really good price.

I really want to grab one of these too. Thanks for the good info jwoods.

So....Should I go ahead and get it then?

The Wolfgang is still in the shop, but I also got an offer for a LTD DV8 with the JB/Jazz-combo but no case for double the price of the used Wolf which had the case and all the original case-goodies.... I like the DV8, but they're two totally different guitars..

What would you do?

[rjohnstone]

Get the Wolfgang.
You will hate yourself later if you don't.

+1... LTD for more $$$ vs USA Wolfie?

No contest there.

I'm waiting to see if EVH releases the new Wolfgang to the public. He's playing one on the tour.
