Paevey EVH Wolfgang®
Edward
considers the Wolfgang the natural evolution of
the Ernie Ball/Music Man guitar.
"It's what I would've done had I
stayed with Music Man. That would've been the next
step," suggests Ed. "The angle of the neck is better,
it's balanced better, it's got an arched top, and
it's got the D-Tuner," he points out. Ed, in fact,
owns the patent to the unique D-tuner. (The "D-Tuna"
d-tuner allows you to drop the low E string to a
D with the flick of a switch without unclamping
the trems nut lock.)
"There
are three things that are very different about the
Wolfgang. Number one it's got an arched top, which
is more difficult and more expensive to make. And
that's the beauty of Peavey. It's a solid American-made
product, and it's right up there with the top-of-the-
line guitars.
Second
of all, it has a patented D-Tuner, which is a little
cylinder that slides over the low-E-string screw
and enables you to drop the low-E down to a D. It's
very ingenious, and it stays in tune wonderfully.
And number three, the neck angle is slightly different
because of the arched top. The neck is slightly
angled back, so it's more comfortable to play."
