June 2006 - March 2008; that's how long it took to manifest the EVH Wolfgang model. The most demanding encounter by Fender's Master Builder, Chip Ellis, was Van Halen's very specific pickup tones. He recommended (Fender) engineer Seiki Goto to chip in when the going got tough...
The interesting thing to note here was the initial use of alder for the guitar body (alder is de riguer for Fender, yes?) but was rejected by Van Halen, instead, he specified basswood... ha!

EVH are amongst the top of my guitar list. A piece of history \m/

they look nice, but my local GC doesn't stock them and they are too pricey for just a bedroom player such as myself...
How does these compare with the Peavey one?
