I review my new ‪@EVHgear‬ Wolfgang guitar that I bought at ‪@GakCoUk‬
I talk through my purchase, show some gig footage and a track that I put together in the studio.
I bought the quilted maple EVH Wolfgang Special that's made in Mexico.

Including live footage in addition to test footage is just so classy too 👏👏👏 great way to demonstrate tone and reliability!

thank you for this ,,its refreshing to see there are still players and reviewers on youtube that actually get out and play beyond their bedroom "media studio"...playing with others and creating music is what makes it all worthwhile and meaningfull

I’m glad you bought the Wolfgang, now you’ll eventually want to cop a Signature model. Great playing by the way.

Thanks! If it weren't for the small frets I would! I guess if I decide I'll factor in the refret!!

I bought one of these guitars to play rock and the blues on.. (LH Black Stealth) I just got a reaming saying its made to be a shredding guitar... I'm really not a shredder.. tell Dr. Walker.. what do I do? no seriously, I like playing the blues on the thing and it plays well, though that drop D tuner doesn't, so far drop straight to D.. always sharp even after the adjustment... getting it fully set up yet I wanted to ask, does it go to drop D or will it always in some way shape or form be sharp.. and I mean 20% sharp on up...
@iamtjwalker
@iamtjwalker Год назад
Out of the all the guitars that are designed for higher gain sounds that I've tried this is the most versatile....it sounds great acoustically which translates to being plugged in which makes it great for rock and blues. But with the super high output pickups and Floyd Rose....it is equipped for shredding!! I can't put mine down! I've been struggling with the D Tuna but I think I've sorted it now. You've probably read the instructions, but I've found by tuning it when dropped to D with the nut undone using the machine head and the fine tuner on the bridge almost undone, then pushing it in to bring it up to E, then adjusting it with the allen key then you'll get it pretty accurate. The one thing that I did notice is the D Tuna bit moves up and down which alters the pitch slightly.....if it's out, if i wiggle it then it usually goes back into tune. As the strings have got older i've had to readjust it...i guess similar to the intonation changing on an older string.

Tasteful playing. Good taste in finishes too. Im looking at that "solar" finish as well as the white MIJ. That's probably why the algorithm put me here. Thanks for the help.

You're one heck of a guitar player firstly TJ. The choice of your instruments obviously complement your skills. Could you share your rig set up at this gig including the PA etc. Sounds great. All the best. Raj
@iamtjwalker
@iamtjwalker Год назад
Thank you, appreciate that! I'm not sure of the PA for the gig....it's just a vocal PA, my guitar isn't going through it. I'm playing through a Milkman Pedal Steel mini....and for drive I'm using a Keeley Modified Boss Blues Driver. Hope that helps!

I'd think that gap is not the norm for MIM but more the norm on Indonesia models where the workers just crank them out, and don't fit a neck to a particular body. I'd personally rather have the MIJ because I love their attention to detail and work ethic. Awesome playing by the way!
@iamtjwalker
@iamtjwalker Год назад
All the MIM ones in the shop I went in were the same. The Indonesian ones were much tighter joints! The Japanese one was perfectly built….but more money, and heavy!

Make sure that you put a rubber door stop under the back of the bridge to keep it from moving before you loosen the strings. Also, consider using Elixir Optiwebs so you only have to change them once a year.
@iamtjwalker
@iamtjwalker Год назад
The trem is flat against the body (that's how it comes, same as Eddie set it up) so if I do one string at a time I shouldn't need to block off the trem I don't think. I use Elixirs on everything......but I actually bought some d'addarios for the first time in years to put on it.....mainly because they were a third of the price and I suspect I might end up ruining a few strings on the first few changes! Once I've mastered the Floyd I shall put Elixirs on here the same as all my other guitars!!
@aapddd
@aapddd Год назад
Changing strings once a year isn’t a great idea. Elixir strings stay clean and rust free but the tone goes earlier.

The stealth has a maple cap on it hence the extra weight. The mexican model has basswood body with a maple veneer. The roasted maple neck on the mexican models are incredible and they sound fantastic. I have owned Chinese and Mexican Specials and an Peavey usa special and they have all been incredible. I am very very fortunate to own a USA stealth model and I hope never to have to part with it.
@iamtjwalker
@iamtjwalker Год назад
That explains the extra weight....I wonder if the ebony on the fingerboard makes a difference....and the big strap hooks!! How heavy is your USA version? I'm really pleased with it....great build quality.

I’m probably wrong. But, aren’t the trems decked on those? Or are the Wolfgang models fully floating? If it is decked, string changes should be no hassle at all.

The trem is flat against the body so you can only lower the pitch. Same as Eddie had his set up.....the D Tuna doesn't work if it's floating I don't think. Yet to attempt the string change!!
