    I appreciate you demo'ing some cleaner/crunch tones on this guitar. Most of the other videos I've seen are an over-the-top 80's shred fest, which makes sense given it's an EVH, but your tones and playing here are more in line with my personal tastes. Very nice stuff!

    My very first guitar was a Wolfgang standard, and I haven’t looked back. They’re so playable, so fun and sound fuckin awesome.

    Purple QM Special Wolfgang. Is so awesome. This guitar I bought for while I'm in prison. I have improved 2000 percent. Out in 2 months. Just waiting to hook up to my system back at home. Thank You God. Thank you Eddie

    Thanks for the review. I watched the comparison between the special and the standard and I liked the sound of the standard more. The special sounds thinner to me. Great review!

    Eddie Van Halen was correct, all you need is one perfect guitar to play anything you want with it.
    Metal shreds, jazz, blues, funk, punk and anything you can imagine.
    Much respect to the designer and vision which Eddie put into creating this guitar. God bless him.

    The US pickups are different than those in the Standard or Special but they are still great pickups! The only other difference is that the US and JP Signature models use an A3 magnet in the neck pickup. The original MIJ and MIC Specials had all US parts including the US Pickups but a flat top, like the Standard, until the special moved to MIM when it got the carved top and import pickups.
    Fantastic and thorough review, plan to get one of the Standards again soon. Over the past couple of years I have sold multiple guitars and play this body shape pretty much 90% of the time, just so comfortable and easy to play.

    Excellent review! I'm at my second EVH Wg Std. Note that on the EVH website the description of the Std says that it is made of the same material as the other models, but the specs section says that it is made of poplar. I checked with EVH and they confirmed that it is poplar... This is not a problem for me because it sounds top notch. My first WG Std had a defect, no matter how I adjusted the neck, the small E came off the frets too easily. I replaced it with another WG Std which does not have this defect, but whose tuners seem less precise with a little play in it (go figure). ...Perfect in all other aspects. So I think that with this model it is worth trying a few at the shop and choosing the best one.

    @dimes3335 Год назад +1

    Hey cool review man. I do have to point out that you’re wrong about the switching on a Les Paul however, the middle position is exactly the same, both humbuckers are activated, not coil taps that you stated. This is the way ALL Les Pauls are configured unless you have custom wiring or the HP-4 circuit.

  • @huskylove-666
    @huskylove-666 2 года назад +2

    This is a guitar I’d never get rid of. It does it all.. Eddie knew what he was doing pickups are awesome I have same Indonesian guitar and quality is amazing. I agree about the trem too. Only mod I’ve done is copper foiled the electric cavity where pots and switches are , it cured the hum as it had slight issue would not hesitate in getting another

    I bought a Purple Quilt Standard as soon as they became available. Even without Baked Maple, the neck is amazing. Carbon rods in the neck add stability. Rolled fretboard edges are super comfortable. I also own an original (pre-Mexico) Wolfie Special. I actually prefer the feel of the Standard neck. Everything else about the OG Special is better though.
    I had string slippage from new with the saddles on my Floyd Special and ended up changing the saddles for non-Zinc items. Problem solved...
    Pickups on the Standard are made to eVh Specs in Asia. The same pups are used on the Mexican Specials. Only the USA Customs have the USA wound pups now. The MIJ & MIC Specials had the USA pups and the vintage Stainless Steel fret wire

    EVH Wolfgang standard is an amazing guitar and in its price range even more so. Fast neck, great pickups and the weight and balance feel right. The Floyd Rose isn't an issue but if compared to the higher end it does feel cheaper. From a playing standpoint the guitar is a players guitar and simplicity that's effective. Excellent video and the playing rocked

    There are differences in all the pickups in the different range. The USA pickups are made in California they have alnico 2 in the bridge and 3 in the neck. The standard pickups are made in Asia and use only alnico 2 and sound different from the USA model pickups. The USA pickups has more midsize and are tighter on the low end.

    That seems like a fairly standard toggle to me. I don't know of many guitars that split the humbuckers in the middle position. Maybe you aren't very familiar with wiring setups.

    Great overview and playing.
    I thought the pickups were made overseas but to the EVH specs? Also, at the price point, I don't think Fender's getting in their wood stocks for them and shipping that over to Indonesia. I do think the woods are sourced differently.

    • @ClintCurtis
      @ClintCurtis  Год назад

      I think the key with this guitar is Eddie's design. The amount put into it makes it a really great guitar. The pickups do sound amazing, but I haven't tried a recent USA model, or Mexican model. At this price, it's absolutely exceptional.

    Good video but you might want to double check how the switch works on a Les Paul it doesn’t split the pickups in the middle position at least none that I have ever seen. You need push/pull pots for that.

      I’m going to order from Sweetwater as well, been going back and fourth between a standard or special, and of course, can’t decide on color, all of the colors I like are out of stock. 🤣

    • @NORMIES_GET_OUT
      @NORMIES_GET_OUT 2 года назад +1

      I finally got it. I should have paid for the Sweetwater setup because the action height was horrendous out of the box. I tried adjusting the bridge and truss rod, and was able to get it playable, but there's a huge difference in the string height on fret 1 vs 22 so I think I'm going to have to shim the neck to get it where it needs to be.
      Other than that, even with the action issue, everything else is great and met my expectations. Tone is fantastic and I really love these EVH humbuckers. Maybe this one slipped through the quality control on the neck angle check, but the finish was perfect and fret work looks great. If I wasn't confident doing my own guitar setup, I'd be pretty disappointed, so I hope mine was a fluke and not the norm.

    • @philjobbins2325

    How does the neck profile compare to the Charvel DK you have behind you?

    • @ClintCurtis
      @ClintCurtis  Год назад

      The EVH neck is narrower E to E, vertically), which I like. The Charvel is a little flatter feeling, but still very comfortable. The Evh is the smoothest neck I've played. Both are exceptional.
