Beautiful guitars, I REALLY like all of the mods you've done. Great tune, made me wanna grab my guitar and play, thank you for sharing, see you next time!
I sanded the veneer off and rounded the body’s edge on mine Standard and refinished the top with Tung Oil. Turned out amazing and is one of my favourite guitars. I think Mr. EV would approve with us doing all the personal custom mods to his design. 🎸 And I concur that the neck is amazing! Such an easy guitar to play! (…and I bought mine used too.)Thanks for the video! 🤘🤙
I wanted a Peavy EVH back when they came out in the 90's. I was in high school then and the purple one was my favorite. One day at school I saw a kid perform at a battle of the bands and he had a pink one. The sound of it live blew me away. Same when I saw Eddie live in '93. Wolfie's done an amazing job keeping his dads tradition of chasing tone alive. I'd love one of these or one of Wolfie's new signature semi-hollow body models. Btw thank you for all the amazing music and videos. I've been a huge fan for a long time now and seeing your videos show up in my feed is always a delight.
Thanks man! I appreciate it. If you’d like more music, check out my Bandcamp page - albums and EPs are on there. You’ll totally dig those if you like the videos. Have an amazing day!
Beautiful guitars and Edward left us so many gifts as far as guitars, amplifiers and an amazing catalog of music he was truly a legend. I hope to pick one of these guitars up myself and your playing is fantastic as well my friend. ✌🏻
That’s very kind of you. Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the track and playing. Guitar is a passion and I’m glad I’m able to share some music. Have an amazing day!
Three beauties without a doubt...and I never looked at prices because I thought they were extremely expensive..... I really liked the look you achieved with the one with the number 1984 ❤️
I also got my Wolfgang(Peavey) by watching the used guitars at the local shops. I got a late 90s purple USA Standard Wolfgang(no maple top, just basswood) for $400 many years ago. I put that thing through hell over almost 20+ years of owning it. During the pandemic I decided to give it some TLC and stripped the paint because I had painted it several times and refinished the whole guitar with a purple sparkle finish and bought a new EVH neck for it because I found an EVH roasted maple neck and it was way cheaper and quicker to buy a whole new neck than have the original Peavey neck re-fretted.
I have one too, a '02 Korean Wolf. Amber quilt. I've had it for 20 yrs now. When I bought it, I didn't even plug it in. 😆 It just felt comfortable and I was sold!
I love my standard. I picked an absinthe green one with a roast maple neck for like $425 USD new and I’ve been really impressed. Great neck, it’s as nice as the asymmetrical neck on my Les Paul standard. Super comfortable to play and sounds great. The wiring was clean and I’ve had no issues whatsoever. Highly recommend.
The WG Standard Wolfgangs are, basically, the "Squier" counterparts to the US-made Wolfgang models. Once you set them up properly, they play like a dream. Nice playing, BTW. ROCK ON!🤘🎸🔥
The Wolfgang Standard is crazy good! I love the baked maple neck. It's my most played guitar. Great video! I've considered adding a coil-tap to the tone... if I do that I might not play my other guitars. Cheers mate!
Definitely do the man! Easy mod, takes 15 mins and adds a lot of tonal variation! I wanted to get that ‘Can’t Stop Loving You’ tone and the coil splits did it! Have an amazing day!
This is only my experience with an EVH Wolfgang special you're mileage may vary. Bought one from my local shop, and I think I paid $965 not cheap over $1000 with tax. It was Stealth black and I liked it played great and sounded good for rock not great clean. Even though I am a VH fan I don't play or sound like Eddie or have any desire to. Well after the first spring the fret sprout was pretty bad so I filed it off. After doing this for 3 years I finally had enough and moved the guitar on. Now I know some of you will say I needed a humidifier. But none of the other guitars I had hanging in the room suffered the same fate. I basically comes down to Fender not drying the wood properly. Really feel like I got taken by Fender.
Damn that blows man. I paid almost $1400 for mine brand new after taxes. I've never had a single problem with it. Came set up perfectly and I've never had to change anything in 2 years of having mine or had any fret sprout of any kind. Must have just gotten the exception that proves the rule?
So sorry to hear about the issues with your guitar man! Fret sprout sucks. Sometimes it is just the piece of wood which isn’t dry enough during building and shrinks over time as the moisture evaporates. I’ve had it on just one guitar many years ago and no amount of dehumidifiers could stop it. I ended up leaving the neck off the guitar for about 3 or 4 years and then using it again, it had dried out and was stable after that. Anyways, I hope you found another guitar that worked for you. Have an amazing day!
Oh. My. God. The 84 and the 5150...... Wow! I am BLOWN AWAY. Unbelievable! Also - your riffage is insane. Man you rock hard! Subbed. It was an Insta-Sub! Also - how did you do those graphics on those 2 guitars? The 84 and the 5150? Are those decal stripes? Or did you sand away the clear-coat, and paint those stripes on there? Then apply more clear? Or... what? LOL I want to try to do one! I think I want to do the 5150 with the Spalted Maple. I own a Standard in Battleship Gray. I could do something with it. I also have (2) Specials... in Sonic Boom... and the Purple Solid Metallic. I can't mess with them. But... I might pick up a used Spalted Maple and try to do something like what you've done here. How do I do it? I've built (3) Frankies and painted 2. But... I'm just not sure what you've done here. It's amazing!
Thanks man! I was planning on doing a video showing how I did it but I didn’t get a chance to edit it. It will be on my other channel RUclips.con/@SpiritDanceGuitars - I’ll get it edited soon so head over and sub to the channel and you’ll see it when I upload. I used film which is used on car headlights for the stripes. The 5150 was CNCed by a friend - its 2mm Carbon Fiber sheet. The other logo was 3D printed. Fun project to do and they look great! I have been a little lazy and haven’t clear coated so there are some sharp edges on the stripes but I’m ok with that, they still feel great to play. But I should clear coat them at some point. Hope that helps! Have an amazing day!
@@jayguitar Awesome! Thx for the reply. I will get over to your other channel, and will look forward to catching more vids on both channels! Killer guitars!
Jay-Awesome job on the striping. Could you share how that was done? Specifically what kind of tape you used for the stripes and how you made the design? Thanks.
Thats a great Q! I did film the process and I'm planning to do a video about the work I did on my guitar building channel pretty soon so head over to www.youtube.com/@spiritdanceguitars and sub so that you know when its out 😊 And I’ll be doing some more in deeper dives into it for my Patreon members in the coming week or two (www.patreon.com/jayparmarguitarist). Have an amazing day!
I have one of the standards in blonde but have not yet put it through it's paces. I glanced through your lessons, unique and very intriguing....do you have a band?
Very cool about the blonde! I’m a solo artist and have worked with a bunch of people over the years - you can find my music on my Bandcamp page jayparmarguitarist.bandcamp.com/. Enjoy and have an awesome day!
I picked up a used one for $300 practically new but it had issues the locking nut was making a creaking noise when using the Floyd and I put shims under the saddles to give it a 16 inch radius which felt better to play so quick fix and good to go I guess that was why they were selling cheap
Great instrumental jay. However it sounds a lot more like George Lynch than EVH. But that is fine. It is obvious Lynch is a HUGE influence for you . Even the chords and the tone of the guitar sounds so much like George. Sounds great as always.
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment. While I'm flattered by the George Lynch comparison (he's a fantastic guitarist), I have to respectfully disagree on the influence here. This track was actually heavily inspired by Eddie Van Halen, especially the chord progressions which I borrowed from songs like 'Panama' and the later albums. EVH, Nuno, Warren DeMartini and Reb Beach has always been my north star when it comes to guitar playing and composing music for a number of years now. As for Lynch, while I admire his work, he wasn't on my mind for this one. It's funny how our ears can pick up different vibes! Maybe it’s from my previous Lynch-inspired work 😉 Thanks again for listening and for the thoughtful feedback! Have an awesome day!
Great review as usual Jay! I disagree about the neck on the Standard being slimmer than the Special. The neck on my '20 Special w/ebony fretboard is noticeably slimmer than on my '21 Standard.
I'm loving your playing and style. I've been playing EVH for 35 years and still can't crack the code, that's what makes this journey so fulfilling and pleasing. Question, I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these beautiful axes, which one? About the bridge PUP. How does it compare to the Seymore Duncan JB Model SH-4 - I happen to like this PUP?
Thanks man. I appreciate it. Good Q about the pickup - it’s been a long while since I played a JB. What I can recall about the JB is that it has a particular mid freq bump. The Pariah is more balanced I’d say. Still a punchy mid range but not as pronounced as a JB. Sparkling highs, low end thump to compliment the mids. Hope that helps. Have an awesome day.
@@jayguitar Last Q: What's your thoughts on the EVH Wolfgang Special, or would it just be wise to go right to the EVH Striped Series, or maybe EVH 5150 Series Standard? I generally like maple for the fingerboard.
@@davidgerlach1132 both great guitars. I like the violin carve on the special and am very tempted by those guitars. The stripe series and the relic series are different shaped bodies but I imagine the neck and playing experience will be very similar. Kinda just depends on the look that you’re shooting for 😊🙏🏽
Thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel. Regular standard E tuning. effects are minimal - tape delay and a little reverb on most of the guitars. Clean guitars have an SDE3000 delay. And a touch of Phase 90 on the left hand rhythm guitar. Hope that helps. Have an amazing day!
I’d love to find one of the old Ernie ball then of course to Peavy who my fool anything with Eddie I’m good. The only problem is, I’m trying to be like Eddie Van Halen, but I’ve come across more as Eddie Munster.
Worth adding a few comments, good and bad: Neck is very narrow and top e string can easily slip off the edge Pickups are great (they are NOT the same as usa ones, they are made overseas but sound great) and work really well if you add a coil split Floyd special is poor. Despite changing the saddles I got a used fr1000 and it's so much better. Tuners are junk. Easy to upgrade. Very lightweight and comfy to play. Good value for money.
Thank you so much for additional info. I appreciate it and good to know those details. Yes the neck is narrow. That’s one of the things I really like about it. Have an amazing day!
Thats a great Q! I did film the process and I'm planning to do a video about the work I did on half at some point. I will put it on my guitar building channel, so you can head over to www.youtube.com/@spiritdanceguitars and sub so that you know when its out 😊 And I’ll most likely be posting the videos in the next week or two and doing some more in deeper dives into it for my Patreon members (www.patreon.com/jayparmarguitarist) so you can check that out too. Have an amazing day!
Have owned three WG standards in different colours over the last few years and like you think they are a great guitar for the price. Also owned 3 WG specials and currently have a WG USA signature in black which is an awesome guitar but expensive! 😬
I sold my EVH Wolfgang Standard Silver Sparkle because it was too small to play. I'm 6'2" and the guitar was smaller than my Jackson and Esp Ltd EC1000 guitar. The EVH Wolfgang Standard guitar has a small neck and was made specifically for Eddie being 5'8" and his big hands. Great guitar some but not for me.
Good point about the nut and neck width, it is narrow. As long as you’ve found zen in another guitars that’s the most important thing. Have an amazing day!
Hi Jay, you having such a good PRS, would be great and interesting to know your opinion about which guitars are better, the more economical PRS SE, like SE-CE24. Mc Carthy, SE DGT etc or these EVH wolfgang Standard?
That’s a really good and interesting question. Both are superb value for money I think and each serve a slightly different purpose I feel rather than one being better than the other. The EVH is iconic in being a representation of Eddie, so the high output humbuckers, the Floyd, the narrow neck - and I love that about the Wolfgang. It’s a perfect high gain monster I find. The PRS has a slightly fuller neck, it is a little wider too so some people find that more comfortable, the humbuckers are hot but not too hot so they serve up everything from bluesy tones to high gain heaven. I love the body shape of PRS guitars and the general feel is something that really suits me. there is a difference in scale length too - the EVH has the traditional 25.5 inch ‘Fender’ scale, while the PRS has a 25 inch scale. I actually prefer the 25 inch scale. it works for my hands and playing. So, like I said, different tools, both fantastic and both a pleasure to have in my collection. I hope that helps! Have an amazing day!
Hey dude, when you asked the Q I knew I had the video coming up! lol! Bit I couldn’t reveal it just then. the fretboard on the EVH feels a lot more rolled to my hands, which I prefer. the SE range is excellent for the price point and how it feels. My USA models (I have 3 now… another arrived just a couple of days ago so start tuned) so feel quite different to the SE neck. Hope that helps. If you’d like more details email me and I’ll send you some more info 😉🤘 Have an awesome day!
@@jayguitar thanks Jay, will email, sounds great and definitely want your feedback at seems that we have very similar taste on Guitars, thank you mate!

Great Q! on one of the guitars I did, I think it was the Spalted maple. but just to get a little more clearance to pull the Floyd back. I also extended the Floyd cavity on the top to allow for more travel. I used a 0.25 degree shim if I remember correctly. Have an amazing day!
Oh I didn’t know that. Thanks for the heads up. When I bought these, they were listed as basswood. Still, they sound amazing and play great. That’s what’s important right? Have an amazing day!
@@jayguitar right, poplar or not they sound and play great. I got one that had the high e string too close to the edge of the fretboard… but my second one is perfect
@@martincloutier666 I’ve heard that about the neck and string being close to the edge on some of them. Thankfully all three of mine have been ok. Usually a neck or nut alignment issue when that happens.
Never would have thought EVH striped wood grain. That looks neat as shit
I know it; Man.... is that insane, or what ? !!!! I gotta make one.
Beautiful guitars, I REALLY like all of the mods you've done. Great tune, made me wanna grab my guitar and play, thank you for sharing, see you next time!
Thanks man! I appreciate it 😊🙏🏽 Have an amazing day!
Yep. Those necks, the roasted maple, are really just unbeatable. Excellent vid, monster intro.
100% agree man! Thanks about the intro! Have an amazing day!

Jay, you´re the BEST!! Thank´s for this video!
Cool video and excellent tones. Visually speaking, I like the 1984. 🙂

The stability is great, though.

About the bridge PUP. How does it compare to the Seymore Duncan JB Model SH-4 - I happen to like this PUP?
Thanks man. I appreciate it. Good Q about the pickup - it’s been a long while since I played a JB. What I can recall about the JB is that it has a particular mid freq bump. The Pariah is more balanced I’d say. Still a punchy mid range but not as pronounced as a JB. Sparkling highs, low end thump to compliment the mids. Hope that helps. Have an awesome day.

@jayguitar yes I think it's on my list to by next but I just bought another prs ce 24 semi hollow just yesterday so will be a while yet lol
Oh nice! Enjoy the PRS! My USA Custom 24s are my favourite guitars. Enjoy the SE dude!
@jayguitar I have the ce 24 already so got this semi hollow super cheap at £1500 at guitarguitar online to have 2 american CEs, I blame you lol 😆
Put ofr saddles that's the most important part of the bridge for tuning stability and keeping the string from popping out. Also titanium string blocks
Great suggestion about the saddles. Have an amazing day!
Tell us about your tuning and any effects Jay. You are a great player. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel. Regular standard E tuning. effects are minimal - tape delay and a little reverb on most of the guitars. Clean guitars have an SDE3000 delay. And a touch of Phase 90 on the left hand rhythm guitar. Hope that helps. Have an amazing day!
Nice Jay!
I think you need to make a Spirit Dance Wolfgang! \m/
Oh now that’s an idea 😉 I guess I have sorta kinda done it but a full SD EVH… Have an amazing day!
I’d love to find one of the old Ernie ball then of course to Peavy who my fool anything with Eddie I’m good. The only problem is, I’m trying to be like Eddie Van Halen, but I’ve come across more as Eddie Munster.
Worth adding a few comments, good and bad:
Neck is very narrow and top e string can easily slip off the edge
Pickups are great (they are NOT the same as usa ones, they are made overseas but sound great) and work really well if you add a coil split
Floyd special is poor. Despite changing the saddles I got a used fr1000 and it's so much better.
Tuners are junk. Easy to upgrade.
Very lightweight and comfy to play. Good value for money.
Thank you so much for additional info. I appreciate it and good to know those details. Yes the neck is narrow. That’s one of the things I really like about it. Have an amazing day!
Could you please go into some detail about changing the pickup. Any mods to the guitar or baseplate.

I sold my EVH Wolfgang Standard Silver Sparkle because it was too small to play. I'm 6'2" and the guitar was smaller than my Jackson and Esp Ltd EC1000 guitar. The EVH Wolfgang Standard guitar has a small neck and was made specifically for Eddie being 5'8" and his big hands. Great guitar some but not for me.
Good point about the nut and neck width, it is narrow. As long as you’ve found zen in another guitars that’s the most important thing. Have an amazing day!
Hi Jay, you having such a good PRS, would be great and interesting to know your opinion about which guitars are better, the more economical PRS SE, like SE-CE24. Mc Carthy, SE DGT etc or these EVH wolfgang Standard?
That’s a really good and interesting question. Both are superb value for money I think and each serve a slightly different purpose I feel rather than one being better than the other. The EVH is iconic in being a representation of Eddie, so the high output humbuckers, the Floyd, the narrow neck - and I love that about the Wolfgang. It’s a perfect high gain monster I find. The PRS has a slightly fuller neck, it is a little wider too so some people find that more comfortable, the humbuckers are hot but not too hot so they serve up everything from bluesy tones to high gain heaven. I love the body shape of PRS guitars and the general feel is something that really suits me. there is a difference in scale length too - the EVH has the traditional 25.5 inch ‘Fender’ scale, while the PRS has a 25 inch scale. I actually prefer the 25 inch scale. it works for my hands and playing. So, like I said, different tools, both fantastic and both a pleasure to have in my collection. I hope that helps! Have an amazing day!
@@jayguitar funny you just made a video, tell me these PRS necks have rolled edges ?
Hey dude, when you asked the Q I knew I had the video coming up! lol! Bit I couldn’t reveal it just then. the fretboard on the EVH feels a lot more rolled to my hands, which I prefer. the SE range is excellent for the price point and how it feels. My USA models (I have 3 now… another arrived just a couple of days ago so start tuned) so feel quite different to the SE neck. Hope that helps. If you’d like more details email me and I’ll send you some more info 😉🤘 Have an awesome day!
@@jayguitar thanks Jay, will email, sounds great and definitely want your feedback at seems that we have very similar taste on Guitars, thank you mate!
any chance u could send me a list of the stuff u did to ur blk fade and maybe where i can obtain them aswell thanx
Thats a great Q! I did film the process and I'm gonna be doing a video about how I did it and what I used over on my guitar building channel pretty soon so head over to www.youtube.com/@spiritdanceguitars and sub so that you know when its out 😊 Have an amazing day!
Thinkin ill be shopping Jay...
Tools are important rite???
Tools are VERY important dude! 😃 Well, that’s my excuse anyhow! thanks and have an awesome day!
Did you have to shim the neck? I have a slime green WG which great except the action is too high
Great Q! on one of the guitars I did, I think it was the Spalted maple. but just to get a little more clearance to pull the Floyd back. I also extended the Floyd cavity on the top to allow for more travel. I used a 0.25 degree shim if I remember correctly. Have an amazing day!
@@jayguitar that is really helpful thanks Jay👍
✌️👍
They expensives as well..
These guitars are very affordable bro 😊🙏🏽 the USA versions are certainly a lot more money. Have an amazing day!
@@jayguitar hey caribbean viewer here...thanks for the reply!!!
@@jesterraj always welcome.
The standard doesn’t have a basswood body but a poplar body. Description says basswood. Specs says poplar. I asked EVH and they confirmed poplar.
Oh I didn’t know that. Thanks for the heads up. When I bought these, they were listed as basswood. Still, they sound amazing and play great. That’s what’s important right? Have an amazing day!
@@jayguitar right, poplar or not they sound and play great. I got one that had the high e string too close to the edge of the fretboard… but my second one is perfect
@@martincloutier666 I’ve heard that about the neck and string being close to the edge on some of them. Thankfully all three of mine have been ok. Usually a neck or nut alignment issue when that happens.
That tone is a MADERCHOD!!! AWESOME INDEED
Bhai, I’m 100% with you there 😂 Glad you enjoyed it! Have an amazing day!
