The guitar itself is in excellent condition and plays like a dream. Sancho Member. Nice of Fender to move production of everything to Mexico.
Not so nice nothing is hitting the stores Where's the EVH Stripe series? Not in Europe, I can tell you. Yes they have got another batch of Japan ones , but as far as I know the move to Mexico is still on. Messages 7, Think my Japanese wolf has a maple top, were the China has veneer top. EVH wolfgang specials are now made in Mexico, they will be available Jan I actually just got one brand new and all I can say is they are freaking awesome, the feel, the sound, the weight, and the materials are pretty nice.
I have previously owned one made in Japan and between the two I definitely pick the one made in Mexico, they are far better. I bought the one on vintage white with maple fret board and I will probably get the stealth one. I am very surprised the guitar neck on this axes back and front are now without any sort of protection, the neck wood only has oil in it, and it feels just awesome, and the sounds out of its really creamer.
How many people do you actually know that even touch the tone control on a guitar, anyway? On a bass, maybe, but not on a guitar. The Peavey-Van Halen partnership first hit the market in Eventually, they settled on building new pickups from scratch in-house at Fender, creating yet another EVH product.
The EVH Wolfgang line is still produced to this day, and all Wolfgang guitars are built in one of three factories owned by Fender. Modern guitar companies benefited as much from globalization as shipping companies and manufacturers. The EVH brand is no exception to this rule, although like many other Fender brands its guitars are produced all over the world.
The greatest hint as to the birthplace of a particular guitar is its price point, and generally speaking, EVH guitars are priced and named according to their place of origin.
This radically redesigned Wolfgang guitar was built by Fender in Corona, California. Mexican production commands a far lower cost than that of California. These Mexican-made EVH guitars include the aforementioned Striped Series not to be confused with the replica series , the Wolfgang Special, and the line of guitars, Superstrat-style instruments that were not played by Eddie Van Halen himself.
Although this factory closed in , it was the predecessor to the Wolfgang Special line reintroduced in and built in Mexico, as described above. Although each factory produces a variation on the Wolfgang, there are notable differences between the various ranges. The EVH line has not been in production for long enough to determine any future alterations, but contemporary reports indicate that all guitars are built at the Ensenada factory. The Wolfgang USA models use a quartersawn maple neck attached to a basswood body, with a gloss urethane finish.
The neck is reinforced with graphite, and as of , the USA models are only available with an ebony fretboard. How consistent are they? I don't know. Maybe I just got incredibly lucky, but I'm now a believer. Look at this thing! Devin":2yup said:. To be honest, I have been blown away by the quality for the money of the new, Chinese made Charvel Desolation series guitars.
They don't sell very well though. Those and the Rasmus opened my eyes as to what Chinese manufacturing is capable of these days. However, to say that ANY guitar factory in China is better than the best of the Japanese guitar manufacturing is really pushing the limits of what we are supposed to believe. I have no doubt that Ed and John Suhr secured the best guitar manufacturing company in China.
I know that John Suhr does not mess around. I also know, from being on the front lines in a guitar shop, that there is a limit to what someone will pay for a Chinese made guitar. And I think in some cases we are surpassing that limit. There is also a fairly large number of customers that won't touch a Chinese made guitar for purely political reasons. I have to listen to their rants almost every single day. It's to the point where I almost cringe when someone asks where a guitar is made.
Gee, let's see
