Very occasionally a rejected maple top was painted gloss black. Peavey EVH Wolfgang & Wolfgang Special Deluxe (Custom Shop) [ ] The Peavey EVH Wolfgang Custom Shop operated from January 2002 to December 2004.

Korean model EXP Wolfgang Specials had serial numbers printed in black on the back of the headstock. Peavey HP Special [ ] Shortly after the split with Eddie Van Halen, Peavey released the HP Special model (HP stands for Hartley Peavey) in 2005, with both American and Asian versions, a guitar that encompassed many of the characteristics of the Wolfgang (basswood body with optional contoured maple top, bolt-on maple neck with maple fingerboard, etc.), but was somewhat of a departure from the collaboration with the guitarist - an H-S-H pickup configuration option, a 5-bolt neck joint, and the headstock shape change, even if the Wolfgang headstock patent remained with Peavey. Work with Fender - the Charvel Art Series and the EVH brand [ ] In his last times with Peavey, Edward Van Halen began working with Charvel to produce replicas of three of his striped guitar models, the, in black and white, yellow and black, and also the most common red, white, and black color scheme.

They were in order, 6 keys per side, 3 keys per side, and the bass. These were hand-stamped. The next ones were: Guitar Dept.

That was probably his 000000XX. 'That's all I know about that'.F. Gump Chip It's humorous to read the word,'Vintage' after almost any guitar that's a decade or more old. The word has no meaning anymore. There are two T-60s on ebay now that have an 8Mxxxxxx E serial number.

The newer Wolfgang retains many of exactly the same attributes as its Peavey-built predecessor. Models [ ] In some sense, the Peavey EVH Wolfgang guitar picked up where the Ernie Ball Music Man EVH model left off, with the prototype design being made by Jim DeCola (an amber quilted top model which still didn't have the Wolfgang headstock shape, but rather a Peavey classic one). The body was made of and often had (like its predecessor) a cap. This combination is considered by some, such as renowned luthier, 'the Holy Grail of tone.' The Ernie Ball model, however, used a 1/8' figured maple cap, which is itself less likely to change the overall effect of the tonewood.

The first digit of the prefix was a number, indicating what year in the decade the piece was manufactured. That was followed by a letter, which IIRC ('If I Recall Correctly,' in case you were wondering) indicated the type of gear in question. And in the lower right hand corner there was a number and a letter corresponding to the year the prefix indicated. So, for example, my Bandit 65's serial # is 4A-01900152, so my Bandit 65 was an amp manufactured in year 4 of the 1980s, i.e., 1984. And in the lower right hand corner of the nameplate is the designation 84C, which corresponds to the year indicated in the serial number. IIRC, some time in the early 1990s, that serialization system changed. My Peavey Studio Pro 112 TransTube (1995 or 1996, I believe) has an 8 digit serial number without a prefix.

They do not charge for IDing from serial numbers. IF owning a company, I'd have a tough one with this free service as it could easily take 2-3 full time people just pulling numbers (instead of helping folks with a repair need).

The body was made of solid basswood and had a masked 'faux' binding. Like the USA Wolfgang Special it featured a flat top, one knob (volume), three-way pickup toggle switch, Peavey/EVH-designed humbucker pickups like USA models, licensed Floyd Rose tremolo with D-Tuna (d-tuner device), hard rock maple neck and fingerboard, straight headstock, and Grover mini tuners (a feature unique to this model). Some aspects of the Wolfgang Special EXP were different to its USA counterparts: the neck had no graphite reinforcement rods and was finished with a satin poly. A hard tail version was not offered. Serial numbers [ ] USA-built Peavey Wolfgangs typically had serial numbers that started with '91' followed by six more digits. Late-run USA Wolfgangs had serial numbers that started with '50' or '51'. A very few prototype models had serial numbers that started with '1'.

It immediately set a standard for guitarists all over the world. To achieve the legendary 'Brown Sound', Edward Van Halen employed a to limit the voltage of his Marshall guitar amplifier while still allowing the volume to be at its maximum.

They can also assist in the recovery of an instrument when it's lost or stolen. Serial numbers are also helpful for identifying and ordering proper parts should repairs ever become necessary. Although an official and complete listing of Peavey serial numbers is not available on the Internet, Peavey provides a serial number forum on its website, where anyone interested in tracking down the vintage of a specific instrument can submit the serial number and request information from the factory.

Though Peavey Wolfgang owners have often sought to find a corroboration in the serial numbers of their guitars and the year in which each was built (similar to the system Gibson uses), there was no such information contained in the serial numbers. There was also no code specific to Custom Shop models. Peavey Wolfgang serial numbers were stamped on the back of the headstock between the tuners. Edward Van Halen's signature and the headstock patent number were both branded just below the serial number. Early Wolfgang models (1996–1998) contained the term 'Pat.

The Special models came with the birdseye (not hard rock) maple neck, which was an upgrade from a production special. For the fretboard you could select Birdseye (standard), Rosewood or Ebony. For the inlays they had pearl or black dots (standard), EVH Blocks, Tribal Flames, Skulls or no inlays at all. For the top you could select flame maple (standard), quilted maple, koa or none (solid body construction). There were about 30 colors to choose from including graphics and a custom graphic option. Peavey EVH Wolfgang Special EXP [ ] Offered from 2002 to 2004, the Peavey EVH Wolfgang Special EXP was a Korean-made version of the Wolfgang. It contained no markings to differentiate it from USA models, but there were several deviations.

Peavey included the following endorsement in their advertising: ' For as long as I've been playing guitar, I've always been searching for a certain feel and tone.I've experimented by tearing apart and reassembling hundreds of guitars in different ways searching for these qualities. Although I've ruined a lot of great guitars by having done this, I have learned what it takes to make a truly great guitar. The Wolfgang, after years of trial and error, (for me) is that guitar. Our collective efforts in designing the Wolfgang guitar have resulted in a versatile, quality-crafted guitar that feels great, sounds great and is truly inspiring to play. I've already put mine to the test in the studio and on tour and now it's your turn.'

During the Van Halen, the guitarist played a different custom striped Charvel Art Series in a few songs of each concert, later autographing and auctioning them on. In 2007, under the supervision of master-builder Chip Ellis, a single run of 300 of his original Frankenstein guitar were made available by under the, in strict collaboration with Edward Van Halen. The guitars were priced at $25,000, having a massive demand upon their arrival to the market. After the, and once again under the supervision of Chip Ellis, the evolution of the Wolfgang within the Fender group became available to the public, with the (in 2008) and the (in 2010), both sporting the 'bottle opener' shape, which is owned by Edward Van Halen, unlike the old Peavey headstock. An amplifier series - the EVH 5150 III - and several instrument accessories and merchandise soon followed, all under the EVH brand.

Two base versions were offered: a solid basswood model and a solid basswood/maple cap model. (The maple cap was 1/4'.) Each version could come with either a licensed Floyd Rose tremolo with D-Tuna (d-tuner device) or a tune-o-matic bridge and hard tail piece.

There were a few specials, like the Magnolia wood T-40 bass for Ken Achard, author of 'The History and Development of the American Guitar' (with rear mounted pickups and controls), that were made, with Hartley's blessing, off the records and with their initials for serial numbers.

Here is some serial number related info that Chip had posted on the original T-60 forum quite some time ago. I don't believe that I've posted it here yet. During the last few years, I have received more than a few T-60s that were the very first ones made on the gunstock carving machine and the Ekstrom-Carlson router, before production was even in sight. The sequence of markings on the first ones was; CT-1, CT-2, CT-B, the first three built in my carport for the 1976 NAMM show. They were in order, 6 keys per side, 3 keys per side, and the bass. These were hand-stamped. The next ones were: Guitar Dept.

To achieve the legendary 'Brown Sound', Edward Van Halen employed a to limit the voltage of his Marshall guitar amplifier while still allowing the volume to be at its maximum. He also used a custom-assembled -like guitar with a (taken from a ) mounted directly to the guitar's body. Van Halen's infamous (a.k.a. The 'Frankenstrat') guitar laid the groundwork for most of the custom guitars he played throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Prior to working with Peavey, Van Halen had worked with and endorsed, and. Production of the Peavey EVH Wolfgang began in late 1996 (after a year-long development process) and lasted until 2004, when Edward Van Halen and Peavey parted amicably.

I went over to the T-60 site and copied the serial number dating list that they have to hopefully help everyone here with their T-40 dates. Since the T-60 guitars were manufactured at the same time as the basses, the serial numbers are similar and were not separated between guitar and bass, just as they were produced. I've been told that these are pretty accurate. 8Mxxxxxx 1978 0000xxxx - 0030xxxx 1978 0031xxxx - 0047xxxx 1979 0048xxxx - 0065xxxx 1980 0066xxxx - 0099xxxx 1981 0100xxxx - 0129xxxx 1982 0130xxxx - 0169xxxx 1983 0170xxxx - 0199xxxx 1984 0200xxxx - 0239xxxx 1985 0240xxxx - 0259xxxx 1986 0260xxxx - 0339xxxx 1987 It must be noted that there are some rare 6 digit serial numbers that are out there that do date to 1978, however there is no way to know if they pre-date the 8M, 00 or are mixed in there as well.
