The overall condition is excellent, with light surface wear and minor dings (please specify your observations on fret wear, scratch locations, and playability). The guitar plays smoothly with no fret buzz and full truss rod function. It checks in at a 8.1 lbs  — comfortably balanced for long sets. With some buckle rash worming on the back and slight fretwear but still plenty of life left. The mid‑’90s Wolfgang combines Eddie’s tonal vision with rugged build quality, and this example presents beautifully in an amber flame finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"837\" data-end=\"889\"\u003eTone \u0026amp; Electronics: Brown Sound Meets Clarity\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"890\" data-end=\"1423\"\u003eThis Wolfgang houses dual EVH\/Peavey humbuckers, wired to a single master volume with a 3‑way selector. In “up” you get the bridge for blistering searing leads; “down” yields a punchy neck tone; middle blends both in parallel—Eddie’s non‑standard switch orientation. The pickups are body‑mounted for maximum resonance transfer, giving you full sustain, harmonic richness, and that iconic “Brown Sound.” (On US Wolfgangs, the neck pickup often measures higher impedance than the bridge, an uncommon wiring twist in the lineage.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1425\" data-end=\"1452\"\u003eBuild \u0026amp; Design Flair\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"2018\"\u003eThe body is solid basswood with a flame maple top, masked binding, and a carved contour that hugs the player. A bolt-on maple neck with Birdseye maple fingerboard offers brightness, snap, and clear articulation across gain states. The 22‑fret, 25.5″ scale layout provides ample range and string tension for alternate tunings. The Floyd Rose–licensed tremolo and locking nut system maintain pitch even under aggressive whammy dives, and the headstock is set at a 10° tilt. The 3+3 tuners and recessed truss rod wheel complete the refined touches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"2020\" data-end=\"2051\"\u003ePlayability \u0026amp; Ergonomics\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2052\" data-end=\"2435\"\u003eIts neck is slim and fast, pairing well with the flatter 15\" fretboard radius, which allows both comfortable chords and wide bends. The subtle contours cut into the top aid in ergonomic grip. The locking nut and tremolo system demand setup precision but deliver high tracking stability. With proper string height and nut work, this Wolfgang feels effortless under your fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"2437\" data-end=\"2479\"\u003eCollectibility \u0026amp; Historical Context\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2480\" data-end=\"3010\"\u003eProduction of the Peavey EVH Wolfgang ran from 1996 to 2004, with early serials beginning in the “91xxxxxx” range for USA units.  Although serial numbers do not reliably encode exact build date, many luthiers and owners estimate late‑’90s to early‑2000s models for serials like yours.The Transparent Amber flame top finish is one of the more collectible and visually striking options in the Peavey\/EVH palette. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"3017\" data-end=\"3035\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"3037\" data-end=\"3469\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3037\" data-end=\"3101\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3039\" data-end=\"3101\"\u003eBasswood body with carved flame maple top and masked binding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3102\" data-end=\"3166\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3104\" data-end=\"3166\"\u003eBolt-on maple neck with Birdseye maple fingerboard, 22 frets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3167\" data-end=\"3189\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3169\" data-end=\"3189\"\u003e25.5\" scale length\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3190\" data-end=\"3220\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3192\" data-end=\"3220\"\u003eDual EVH\/Peavey humbuckers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3221\" data-end=\"3270\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3223\" data-end=\"3270\"\u003eMaster volume control + 3‑way pickup selector\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3271\" data-end=\"3318\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3273\" data-end=\"3318\"\u003eLicensed Floyd Rose tremolo and locking nut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3319\" data-end=\"3350\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3321\" data-end=\"3350\"\u003e3+3 headstock with 10º tilt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3351\" data-end=\"3382\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3353\" data-end=\"3382\"\u003eOriginal hard case included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3383\" data-end=\"3409\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3385\" data-end=\"3409\"\u003eRight-handed, 6-string\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3410\" data-end=\"3443\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3412\" data-end=\"3443\"\u003eNut width: 1 11\/16\" (43.0 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3444\" data-end=\"3469\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3446\" data-end=\"3469\"\u003eFretboard radius: 15\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"3471\" data-end=\"3474\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3476\" data-end=\"4472\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peavey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50789656854824,"sku":"PEAVEY-EVH-WOLFGANG","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/4225\/2328\/files\/Peavey_EVH_Wolfgang7.jpg?v=1759868542","url":"https:\/\/altitudeguitar.myshopify.com\/products\/peavey-evh-wolfgang-transparent-amber","provider":"Altitude Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
