Hey guys.
I've had a USA Strat for a while now that I used a lot when I was in my originals band up until 4 years ago but haven't used much since, so when I saw these upfor trade I offered my Strat up and a deal was struck:

They're both MIA Peavey Wolfgang Specials, unsure of age etc and both are in decent condition with the usual playing scuffs etc.
They both need a good clean up and re-stringing, 10s on the white 1 in Standard tuning for my Punk/Rock band and 11s on the black 1 in Eb tuning for my 80s/90s Rock but otherwise I'm very happy with them.
The guy I got them off was under the impression from the guy he got them from that the black 1 had some sort of Peavey 'Custom shop' pickups in as apparently Wolfgang pickups only come in Zebra. How true that is I don't know, but if I don't like it plugged into my main rig I have a set of purple Dimarzio Evos I think might work in their place :D

Sweet :grin: 2 for 1 sounds like a hard to pass deal :grin:
-
That antique white (?) one looks great! Sounds like a great deal.
-
2 for 1 sounds a good deal, whatever you're swapping!
I like the Wolfgang Specials better than the fancier Wolfgangs (I've not actually tried one, but I never thought they looked as nice as EVH's old Music Man signature).
It would've been good if one was a hardtail.
-
Cheers guys!
It would've been nice if 1 of them had been hardtail Philly; not a deal breaker though! :cool:
-
Even though that is not my cuppa tea personally I can congratulate you on the great deal! I know those are nice guitars, I just canīt get with the shape.
Picked a favorite yet? =)
-
That looks like a sweet deal.
That leaves you with what? Only 10 strats now? =p
-
Love the white one. Were it me, I'd be putting some VHIIs in and playing "Beautiful Girls" until my fingers fell off.
-
Looks like a good deal, although I like strats. The vintagewhite looks great.
-
I'm with Telerocker too, I prefer Strats but think you got a good deal.
-
Cheers guys.
I prefer the white 1 atm but its setup slightly stiffer, which I prefer.
That looks like a sweet deal.

Nah, 5 left! 1 of which has VH2s so they're not going in here.
-
Good Score! Those Peaveys are good little gee-tars!
-
that vintage white one is certainly a looker
-
How remiss of me not to compliment you on the duvet cover too.
-
Cheers guys.
Using them at 2 practices and a gig this week so I'll see how I feel after that.

These aren't my pics, they're what the last owner provided me with before we sorted a deal :grin:

Well he was a man of refined taste (if poor judgement in terms of dealing in guitars).
