- Eddie Van Halen is one of the most influential guitar players of all time, the original King of shred; his tapping technique has spawned a thousand impersonators. Known for his love of tinkering and modding his own guitars, Eddie now fronts EVH, delivering guitars built for precision, tone and the kind of fleet fingered fretboard wizardry for which he made his name.
The EVH Wolfgang has become something of a cult favourite, named after Eddie's son (the Van Halen and Tremonti bass player), it's a purebred rock machine.
In this video we let Jack loose on the updated for 2020, EVH Wolfgang Standard range which we took delivery of this past week and let him do his best Eddie Van Halen impression. We don't think he did too badly! Let us know how you think he did in the comments below.
Check out the full range of EVH Wolfgang Standards that we have in stock below, be quick to grab your own NOW! It isn't often that we come across such amazing guitars for such an amazing price!

Came for the guitars, stayed for Jack's playing! Stellar
"the skills don't come with the guitars," then, proceeds to bang out nearly spot on EVH licks that only someone who has spent thousands of hours perfecting can do. Great demo, as always. Quite a bag of tricks in this kid's aresenal.
that is simple to play nowadays....which means....nobody could before EVH n his innovation ....
@@atta1798 simple lol ah shit I'm so crap 🤣
@@zedddddful if you think so you said it yourself!!! hahahahahaha!!!
@@atta1798 I said it because it's true I fucking suck at guitar I need to knuckle down and practice 🤣
@@zedddddful you should be fine just practice n the main thing is tht you enjoy it n you will be FINE!!!
What a versatile player, could listen to you all day jack!
Just what I was about to write.
who dislikes this???? Jack you are a monster! Jaw dropped...
Came for the guitars, stayed for the Spicy Vanhalen covers. Well done!
I was in one of the big guitar retailers (won't bother naming them) a couple of years back and the employees were all ripping these Wolfgangs. I don't care much for the shape but I picked one up and was stunned by how great the neck was and F*CKING AWESOME those pickups are. About ten minutes later the employees were all trying them out and loving them. I'm not one of those "it has to be a _______ (insert brand here)" players but was pleasantly surprised by EVH. I ended up ordering a more-expensive model through their site and love the guitar. For anyone who hasn't given them a try I highly recommend it. Cheers.
M McBride evh is awesome for sure best guitar out there👍
if you know about guitars then u recognize how a great one is set up ......
Its evh what do you expect
SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!! Eddie always said you
And always said I don't want to have to fight the damn guitar! And I was amazed when I played one even though I didn't like him at first now I I am a complete addict of the Wolfgang! It's 40 years of his experience jammed into that guitar and when you play it for just a little bit of length of time you realize it right away!
Hellava great job recreating the Master's tone and playing Jack!
I love how you played the stretch lick in beat it just like Eddie. Most people just try to tap that part. Great demo & awesome playing.
An outstanding demo - note-perfect performance from Jack! It really demonstrates the versatility of these guitars! I hope that the complete ‘Eruption’ performance can be shown as a separate video -it deserves it!
That was one of, if not the, coolest versions of eruption I have ever heard. Put a slight twist on it and I love it!
The Hell with the guitar. Your playing was just Badass Jack.
Probably the best Eddie impression I've seen. I've been playing for 30 years and even the riffs are out of reach. Well done sir. You have my respect.
I’ve wanted a Wolfgang since Peavey were making them. And I always put it off. Now that our hero is gone, I finally made the decision and ordered a Wolfgang WG Standard in bomber black. Maybe in the future I’ll get ambitious and paint the stripes on it.
Edward, you will never be forgotten.
My dream guitar is a Music Man Axis Super Sport - the original collaboration with EVH. I fell in love with them back in the 90's when they first came out, they're just pricey. I'd get it with the standard trem rather than FR, only because I'm not a fan of double-locking trems. That said, I may have to pick up a Wolfgang, those finishes are to die for, and the price is great.
I bought the Bomber black as well (sweet).
OUTSTANDING! Really entertaining playing old bean.
that neon orange evh wolfgang looks so sweet! great playing too
Wow, Jack! that was awesome! great looking guitars too.
You know a lot of people don't play the Panama intro right. As a van Halen fan who practices this riff almost everyday, his playing gave me immense satisfaction. 🔥
That was some awesome playing there sir....my head was bobbing up and down....lol....I do own one of the older EVH Wolfgang Standards that came in the Zillaburst color and maple neck....my hats off to ya Jack....
Congratulations for you playing!
It would make Eddie very proud!
Didn't know they have those guitars back in 73, especially in Point Place. Good job, Eric.
Gorgeous guitars! I think I like the black quilted one the best! The EVH shredding was fantastic! I can hear the many many hours of practice!
Wow!! Jack you are an amazing player! Obviously he's a VH fan!!
Man, this guy’s playing is amazing.
Holy shit Jack! Just incredible articulate playing man, really blown away... I know you have thousands of TH-camrs jamming to EVH songs, but... Your execution here is among the best of them. Amazing and thank you for showing just how incredible the Standard series are this year. I owned a Made in China EVH Wolfgang Standard from I believe 2013 or 2014 and it was just lacking some mojo. I got rid of it after about six months. I picked up one of the late 2019 Exotic series Standards with baked maple freeboard over a year ago and noticed how much better these Indonesian built EVH Standards are, just incredible guitars at a great value.
Such a great musician. Great video.
I’m so glad I bough a standard in 2018. I’m worried about what might happen to these guitars with Fender taking more control.
The 2020 and 2021 are a little better to me, but that’s the big name brand way of doing things... put out amazing products the first few years to build reputation and then slowly start replacing parts with cheaper ones while raising the price.
I ALWAYS loved the EVH’s.... They look AMAZING....
Skills! Musical and shows off guitars brilliantly. Keep it up Jack and Peach.
Jack's skills, and Marshall DSL20 for the win! Pre pandemic, and pre EVH passing. Funner times.
Some nice guitars they've released this year. Any idea when the Frankie relic will be out? Great playing Jack as ever!
This guy is phenomenal! I just ordered my Black Fade standard two days ago...can’t wait until it arrives!!
Revisiting this great demo. So good I bought the all black one!
I’d be all over a hardtail version of one of these. What a player Jack is...
some of the best playing i have heard in a long time.
Wow, Jack can play the guitar!!! Love those guitars, too, but his playing stole the show! Amazing!!!
I owned a Peavey Wolfgang I bought in late 90s that would later be stolen (and wouldn't you know, I'm still friends with the guy I'm certain who stole it - but we were stupid kids). I loved that guitar and while it was in near perfect condition, I had that thing well worn in for me. I just knew that neck so well. Then I later purchased a Peavey Wolfgang w/ rosewood, carved top as well, and it was a force. It was likely better than my previous Peavey, but I was so connected with that guitar. Anyway, I ended up having to sell that Peavey during the economic crisis and compared to what it's worth today, I practically sold it for nothing. It had one of the best pieces of rosewood on a neck that I've owned. So these new EVH Standards look great and I'm shocked at the price. $700 and it includes baked maple? That's a deal.
I've been eyeing one of the Striped Series, either the 5150 or the Frank, but now I'm considering this Standard. I'm anxious to have that brown tone again. Right now I don't own any high output pickups or a floyd rose guitar. Van Halen's been on my mind quite a bit recently at the thought of possibly never seeing him tour again. My sister took me to Van Halen concerts in the 80s! I remember that first concert so vividly I can feel it. Because of my sister I saw I saw Joan Jett, ACDC, Pink Floyd. But I've seen VH many times. I was lucky as hell. Well, forgive the long comment here and nice vid! It's practically sold me on picking one up.
Hey Ronnie, glad you liked the video! If you're an Eddie fan this guitar is a must, and it certainly delivers on value for money! Give us a shout if you'd like to have a chat about one.
P.S, sounds like you and your sister checked out some killer shows!
Sick playing Jack! I love my EVH Wolfgangs I have two a Special and a Standard and love them.
You make that guitar sound incredible my lad love the Wolfgang standard great playing
Yer cookin dude. That was great :D I've owned a couple of Floyd guitars over the years but I have never liked the neck profiles. (USA Jackson Soloist lefties) Now that Eddie is gone I have been paying attention to these. I'm finding the neck profile of the EVH has more meat on it AND I am intrigued by the tuning stability of the non-recessed Floyd. To have command of the harmonics on the fretboard means I can definitely find ways to make screams without having to pull *up*.
When I can get my hands on one that is lefty...I'm gonna do it. Thank you for this video. It was a pleasure to hear and watch you play.
I was never crazy about the flatter fretboard and scooped sound of the pickups but thats just me... I am a huge fan and had to get a peavey Wolfgang special anyway. Awesome for high gain modern rock.
Nice work!
So a practical question for those folks who have a Wolfie with a burnt maple fingerboard... the position markers are black, seems like it would be tough to see them especially on a dark stage. True?
Amazing playing and great guitars, i really like the trans black version:)
Jack is the best reviewer guitarist by such a wide margin its ridiculous
That eruption is having a nice polishing. Really impressive...👍👍👍
Holy shit, that guy can play anything!
Great job here showing us what these beauties are capable of in the right hands!!
Super video! Super guitars, super playing 😁 Are the Wolfgang pickups all the same in standard, special and USA? The same that are sold separately? Thankssss
I am a legit telecaster player. I've played a tele for 4 decades (and sometimes a strat and I own a mustang). My first Wolfgang Standard was purchased the Saturday before the death of Eddie. I never really did many tricks with the guitar with the exception of the strat. I was always more of the subtle aspect of Jeff Becks playing in terms of tremolo use. The telecaster was my guitar when i studied 2 years of jazz guitar.
I was 9 when i first heard Van Halen 1.
Anyway, the standard i purchased was a tahiti night and a month later i bought a chlorine burst. They are both quite fun to play. I highly recommend loosening the nut after a good placement of the fine tuners of the guitar every once in a while. It allows better fine tuning over time that a string stretches. the guitars are great!!!!! Mine are quite light. both are definitely under 8 pounds but i have not precisely weighed them. they are lighter than other guitars i own and know the weights of.
In 1995 I went to McGill and found a jam spot under the Hard Rock Cafe, Danny was the owner and had guitars signed and owned by artists and music memorabilia. I jammed with him a few times playing artists stratocasters off the wall . Danny had one of Eddie Van Halen's striped guitars that he got off Edward years before. One day we were jamming and I was playing rhythm on freebird and we both played the prominent solo (Danny) and the underlying lead tracks ( me). Danny took a cigarette break and for about 15 minutes I got to play Eddie Van Halens guitar. It was incredibly light and an absolute pleasure to play!
Thanks Danny ! Wherever you are now.
Great review! Great playing Jack!
Is he playing through an evh amp? The tone is spot-on! Jack U did Eddie proud!
Marshall DSL20 head for the tone, Line 6 HX for flanger, delay and phaser. The rig is described in the description.
Okay I've got to have one!!! nice playing bud! Did you say what amp you're playing through... it looks like that marshal behind you? pedals? Thx!
I have the 2020 USA Wolfgang EVH Signature in ivory with zebra pickups and stainless steel frets. Love this guitar and it's everything this video says about it.
Let's change to my Gibson 2019 Les Paul Modern - Sparkling Burgundy Top.
Great video, man. Awesome playing!
That was absolutely insane playing!!!!!! 🤯
That black/gray fade is a “maybe,” but I really wish they would go back to flame tops instead of quilts.... I semi-hate quilts.....
Awesome playing 🤘. Keep on rocking ..........you got a real gift there. 🎸
What's the track starting at 5:08? That tune was playing in my head today and I'm glad that I was correctly able to recall this video and find that tune again. However, I was imagining a cleaner and warmer tone in my mind but still very close to this one. Which song is it? Thank you.
Also I've been trying to mimic him and I realized that he plays 2nd fret of high strings but then jumps to higher frets of lower strings. I think it's better to start on the 7th fret of lower strings.
Hot for teacher
@@Koffieleuter Thx man.
Holy crap this guy's awesome. where can I see more???

Ok
This guy really knows his Eddie stuff
Nice
Sounds killer Jack!
All together now - JACK IS A BEAST!
omg the playing and evh many years of tone study can be heard in this guitar wow im get one its a must
Freaking awesome. Guitars and guitarist with skills alike. Who dislikes this? Oh only someone who can only wish they could even play a stringed instrument like that. Only someone envious of those who can...
show us how you got that sound please !!!!
Very very good man. I’m impressed by your talent
Had the purple standard loved everything except not routed under the floyd. Could only go down. I tried floating it but the bridge was too high. Had to let her go. Just because Ed liked it that way didn't mean I would.
at 4:43 is daftpunk sampling EVH?
Nice job brotha! Fantastic playing and tone!!👍👍👍 They are Great guitars!! Hail to the GOAT King Edward Ludwig Van Halen!!
Muito bom!
Fiquei até o final do vídeo pra ouvir todos os riffs
Incredibly good playing tone and demo
Crazy good playing! Good job
Does the Standard have the Trem system with the drop D thing?
What's with the hunters vest/traffic cone safety orange color? God damn...my eyes...
What’s a good overall effects board to get VH sounds and maybe a few others?
Nice, I like solos that are improvised, not copied note for note!
I don't think people realize how good an Eddie Van Halen greatest hits, and then some, performance we all just watched. Very unexpected. Firstly, tone from Amp, Kemper settings, Strings & the new Fender EVH Wolfgang are really close in sound. Secondly, chromatic scale runs, bends, bombs, & tremelo picking...were impressive. And lastly, tempo, timing, & string plucking techique is stunningly accurate. Metronome anyone...So many Eddie homage players display the standards, but few showcase MJ collaborations...That made me smile. SOLD! 🎸🎶🎼🎵
When are there available ?
THAT was Amazing !
Hey Kelly, they are available right now!
Check them out here -www.peachguitars.com/evh
Is this a basswood body with a Maple cap+veneer or is it simply a basswood body with a veneer? I'm a huge fan of the basswood body and maple cap combo...was wondering with this top Is purely aesthetic.
I read it was just a veneer. I could be wrong though
This dude slays man. The one thing I will say though is it really does go to show how much of the tone and sound is in the hands of the player cause even though this guy is an awesome player no doubt noone will ever make it sound just like eddie did. But steller job to this guy.
What amp are you going through? The Marshall DSL -20 ?
Great jam, bro!! Loved it all, but especially "Show Your Love" near the end! You were ripping it up, dude! BTW, I got My Wolfgang about two weeks ago and I am really connecting with it! The price is very fair for what you get... no doubt!
Man... seriously nice playing! 🤩
That black fade looks so good!
If they put out a hardtail I'll buy in a heart beat
The old Peavey EVH Wolfgangs came with a hard tail option, great guitars.
I bought a gloss black standard hard tail a couple of years ago ( £259 new ) , Great guitar with perfect fit and finish out of the box , plays and sounds great .
Incredible demo Jack!
Fockin hell mate. No one swings like the king, but damn that was nice playing.
What amp were you guys using for this demo? Sounds great!
Fantastic playing
Jack! You are one of my favs on demos but, what are you pushing the Marshall with?
Thanks! All the gain is straight from the amp. - Jack
The tone is good
What marshall is that?

Hello ! I really like the sound of this guitar, but there are two things that bother me, can you confirm these questions? 1) Small guitar size, can you tell me how many centimeters it measures from the tip of the headstock to the end of the body? 2) The arm looks very narrow, I would like a wider arm closer to a Lespaul pattern. thank you The width of Nut seems to me to be very narrow.
There's videos out there, side by side with a Les Paul it appears smaller but measured from nut to bridge the EVH is longer.
That's a good guitar, like the disclaimer about signature guitars
Is there single-hum split on this???
nice playing
Is the neck and the new finishes the only difference from previous model?
really nice guitar playing ! RIP eddie
Sounds great. Are you saying these guitars have the USA made pickups in them? You said "proper" EVH Wolfgang pickups. Thanks!
They have the gold colored bottom piece which makes me think they are, I have 3 usa wolfgangs
In the mark for a Wg. Whats the difference between the 2020 standard and the specials?
Not much other than the D Tuna and Floyd, for the price.
Amazing playing.....I'm getting one of these.....
Great playing, great tone! I want one!
Do they come in blue?
I know its probably obvious but what’s the exact pedal he’s using to play unchained sounds exactly like the original
