Title: NGD: 2 for the trade of 1
Post by: Brow on August 11, 2014, 05:47:56 PM
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:

(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/Browsif/Guitars/WhitePeaveyWolfgang_zpsc18673d4.jpg) (http://s5.photobucket.com/user/Browsif/media/Guitars/WhitePeaveyWolfgang_zpsc18673d4.jpg.html)
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/Browsif/Guitars/BlackPeaveyWolfgang_zpsdffc676e.jpg) (http://s5.photobucket.com/user/Browsif/media/Guitars/BlackPeaveyWolfgang_zpsdffc676e.jpg.html)

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

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? =)

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.

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).
