NGD: 2 for the trade of 1
« 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:




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.

Cheers guys.

I prefer the white 1 atm but its setup slightly stiffer, which I prefer.

Nah, 5 left! 1 of which has VH2s so they're not going in here.
