The Peavey EVH Wolfgang guitar series is a collaboration between guitarist Eddie Van Halen and Hartley Peavey's company, Peavey Electronics (cap.12 from book "Peavey Guitars: The Authorized American History" [1]). The EVH stands for "Eddie Van Halen" while Wolfgang is the name of Eddie Van Halen's son.
Van Halen is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists in rock history [2] and was well known for popularizing the tapping guitar technique, allowing rapid arpeggios to be played with two hands on the fretboard. Eddie Van Halen was voted number one in a Guitar World Magazine poll for “The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” poll. [3]
Van Halen stated that this was his "last attempt" to design a guitar. [2] New features included stainless steel frets, a 12" – 16" compound radius, and custom Bourns potentiometers (low friction 500 kΩ for volume and high friction 250 kΩ for tone). [3] The bridge is a signature model Floyd Rose designed by EVH and is exclusive to the Wolfgang.
