Rosewood Wolfie???

Scott Smith · #1 02-06-2003, 01:21 PM

I got a nice Wolfgang not too long ago and I'm converted. These guitars are very, very nice! Suit my taste and feel very well. I was checking out the Peavey website and found out you can get them with Rosewood fretboards. Anyone seen one? I have a trade ad on HC for one but have had no luck with it. Just wondering how rare they are...

The rosewood fretboards are not that rare, but I think that they have to be ordered through the custom shop.

Chromeboy,
They have that option listed on their main website, not the EVH Custom Shop. I do think they are quite rare, I have never seen one for sale on ****, and I've been looking for some time. **** is the fleamarket for the world. Love it or hate it...

I thought it had to be requested, also?

Eddie,
Here is the link that shows that the standard, everyday Wolfgang comes with the Rosewood board, not just the custom shop...

2nd to last on the features shows you can have one with rosewood. I have never seen one. I think they are as scarce as they come. But if anyone knows where one is, please post pics or links....

OOPS!
I meant that you may have to request one with a rosewood board with no extra charge, but assembly is mainly birdseye. Do you have a pic of one with a rosewood board...I would like to see that!

I guess this is what it would look like ;-)

Hmmm...

I like the maple neck better on a wolfgang, dunno why. Just the look of it seems more fitting for this guitar.

Don't get me wrong, I love the rosewood on my JEM, though

Eddie,
I don't have a pic. I've searched all over but have had no luck. I did get an email from a guy with a quilt top Wolfie with an ebony board. That makes me drool just a little!

I saw one with a rosewood board in a Sam Ash in New Jersey a while ago, so they definitely exist. I thought it was odd at the time, because I too believed that was a custom-only option, and couldn't see why they'd order a custom to sit in store stock, but now I know.

It just looks too dark and uninspiring without the maple board.

JackButler · #13 02-08-2003, 04:38 PM

you think a rose wood wolfie is nice......the ebony fretboard is outta this world!! I though they couldn't do anything to make that neck any better...boy was I wrong...I've thought about sending my neck in to the custom shop to get a ebony fretboard put on...but its too much time away from my wolfie...

Musicians Friend now carries Wolfgangs. so I ordered one, a black Special,
anyhow it shipped with rosewood. When I called to clear it up (I wanted maple) they said rosewood fingerboard was all they could get. $899USD with free shipping at the time.

Sweet, but I love my maple wolfie.
