All user reviews for the Peavey Wolfgang Special EXP

Academy of Sound, Preston, £399. Well, that was the listed price, but I part-exchanged Strat for it.

It was a toss-up between this, and another Les Paul. But this won due to the price, originality, sounds, and EVH.

Let's see. It'd be quicker to tell you what I don't like. But then that'd be a waste of time. Because there isn't much. Or anything.

SO...why do I like it? Because it's easy to play, the neck feels perfect. The Floyd Rose stays in perfect tuning, as does the D-Tuna.

The sounds I can get out of this thing are amazing, even though it lacks a tone control (but let's face it, who actually uses them.) The pickups are bright, and full, and RAWK!

It rules.

N/A.

Well built by 8 year old Koreans.

It's a fucking fab buy. If you can't afford this, then the Vintage Van Halen thingy is pretty much as good.

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

This guitar is made in Korea, the body has a beautiful flamed maple top painted a binding, the handle is birdseye maple with a touch of maple, has 21 frets, the head is short. mechanics are divided into 2x3. the guitar has two humbucker. a single volume knob (effective). vibrato is a double locking licensed floyd rose. It has the famous D-Tuner, which allows to lower the low E r in a second. the pickup selector offers three possibilities.
the handle is especially nice and fast.
I put 9 because even if the finish is good for a guitar of this price (600 euros), it may be some small imperfections.

UTILIZATION

The mache is fixed by four screws, the heel profile making access very easy to acute. It is very comfortable, it seems to always know.
vibrato is super effective to the same receiver, the only regret is not being able to fire back, but ... is not essential.
the weight is reasonable. it is rather light, well-rounded.

10 seems to be minimal in terms of performance ....!

SOUNDS

I play everything blue (clapton. ..), rock (van halen, beatles, Satriani, etc.), hard (deep purple, black etc. ...), Ingvars
I play on a pod pro XT, the sound of the guitar is incredible, in the neck position is obtained without any problem on the sound of Santana Europe or Paris walkway. easel in position everything is possible!
it is superpolyvalente, and very effective. It lends itself to all styles (except black metal neo gothic trash).
its super micro, the artificial harmonics are easy, powerful sounds saturated precise, well-defined .... clear clean sounds ...!
nine because I put a split micro t would clearly seen (ca can be added as the electronics housing cavity wide and deep well)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 15 days, I love it, I had a willow's spirit that is twice its price, but is clearly my SOON throughout the plan! I tried Jackson, ESP, Ibanez, godin. chaqune has its advantages and disadvantages, but the peavey brings together the best of all worlds, (this is only my opinion ...)

The report price is excellent quality. it holds the road well comparable to much more expensive guitar.
if it again, I would take the same.

Here!
in my case I had saved to buy the 2200 euros or excalibur

Guitar Coren, but with a violin really poustouflante for the price!
22 frets, locking bridge Peavey licensed Floyd + D-tuner, a volume knob.
Trs comfortable handle and key
Simple and unadorned, 9 it is because I would have AIM comes with a flight case

UTILIZATION

Channel super enjoyable, fast, but it feels good in hand and never be tiring. Pluttlgre, even when we feel we have a guitar on the shoulders, unlike some of Ibanez.
I use this guitar for the recovery Varita / rock, and it is a happiness in the current configuration (2 seymour Duncan, cf. Below), Access in an excellent treble, vibrato used without mnagements. People with small jigs find this guitar very easy to play, even with positions agree somewhat exotic with big carts.
The original pickups give his incisive trs, but by measuring the volume that does not bleed treble, the sound softens and is close to P90. Ms. ARPG clean sounds and funk are available with 2 doubles sets, and volume 6 or 7.
A 9 because no muzzle to the forearm, which is quite Drout the first days or chamfer stomach to my belly starts growing, which forces me to drink fewer beers playing .

SOUNDS

I replaced the original pickups with a Seymour Duncan SH2N to handle, and a Seymour Duncan TB5 in easel, mainly to take advantage of the split. So I added 2 mini toggle swtich 3 positions on / on / on (15 euros spices!) To have for each microphone: SERIES / split / parallle, for a total of 15 positions prev Annuities! Sound as bold (SERIES) in its most Arian. I made myself the same assembly / perage, trs clean and burr-free, although a place in the cavity Reduces the toggle-switch 3 poisitions. The switches are therefore ct slecteur of microphones, and are very accessible but safe to hang them during the game (and yet I'm playing really nergique), and without interfering with either slecteur the microphones. I have changed most of the volume potentiomtre a 250k to get a better tonal balance over all positions. Split the pickups sound as strong as the humbuckers, trs dsquilibre little volume, so idalie live. The humbuckers sound trs parallle set P90, with a chouilla more gain.
The Floyd behaves well trs, trs good performance agreement, with the advantage that it relies on the body, so do not dsaccorde in case of breakage of strings, and especially allows the use D-tuner included (Systm allowing to pass the low E string R and a simple gesture).
The guitar is currently with RULES 10-46, but still soft and comfortable tonnament. The action is low trs, frieze has not, in short it is a real rgal / comfort for those who play long, for example "balochards" playing four or five hours without stopping.
Specially when even a mention of these micro SD sounding really in all configurations, and a big surprise even to the neck pickup in SERIES (what normal humbucker) that sounds hairy with lg re overdrive. Truly stunning!
Sounds close to the acoustic when you put the two mics together and not splitter that one of the two.
In saturated bridge, this skyscraper has a true prsence which highlights the mix at all times, I can see all my presets solos down! In rhythmic palette is very broad trs long as your amp is a bit rounder. With my Triaxis, I have all the sounds I want, except of the strata 2 and 4 positions, but my Fender is the for a.
A 10 with this config (about 200 uros more for Seymour 2 + 2 mini-switches on / on / on volume knob + 250k), it would be an 8 without these changes because the guitar was too bright (I loves a bit darker) and a little less versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months, and it's really a rgal. I have a Start Ultra that sounds good trs, trs versatile but difficult to play (compltement drgle is normal), and an SG that sounds hellish, but rev limit at the level of sound. This is a good scratching complment the other two.
The report qualitprix is ​​amazing, I still can not! I touch a trs good prices in Germany, and I advise everyone to take a look at this guitar. It crasis outright Squier, Epiphone, Ibanez and Jackson in the same price range in terms of violin making and the quality of the finish. Facing a JS100 for example, that I had for 2 years, the Peavey exploded on all points (ok, we can not pull the Floyd, but that's it).
With my config microphones and switches, it would be without blinking compete with guitars who rate at least twice the price!

edit:
I forgot to mention the sustain, which is simply amazing for a guitar of this price, with Bolt and Floyd ... try it empty just to see, says a lot about a lla on
A killer I tell you ...
