The QUILT top version were produced in the Peavey EVH STANDARD DELUXE, only 2000 were produced. The first run of Wolfgangs were 2500, all marked with different numbers to differentiate neck shapes, etc. The quilt tops were so hit-or-miss that they decided to experiment with flame tops. That is where it gets a little confusing. Thanks, But there were several one-offs that were made of Flamed Maple Tops the first year. You can call Peavey Electronics directly to verify the production year and version of the Wolfgang you're selling. You'll want to change the language in your auction to be accurate and true.
Peavey guitar serial number lookup serial numbers#
(Prototype models had serial numbers start with the number 1, and early Peavey Wolfgang models had a "Patent Pending" stamp under the EVH-branded signature.) Moreover, the first run of Wolfgangs were quilt tops, not flame tops. It is a production model Wolfgang made in, most likely, 2000. This is NOT a prototype Peavey Wolfgang, nor is a first year model or custom shop model. NEW IS WELL OVER $2400!!! SAVE THOUSANDS!!! GRAB A COLLECTOR'S GUITAR THAT WILL ONLY GO UP IN VALUE!

The serial number is 91012223, and it has the patent number under the EVH signature brand. Based on what I know about Peavey Wolfgangs and their serial numbers (which is a LOT-not trying to sound to cocky and/or dorky about it), he's been fed a very incorrect story. This guy claimed this Wolfgang was a prototype and went on and on about how rare it was. Also, prototype/pre-custom custom shop Wolfgangs had serial numbers that started with "1," and many 20 models started with "50" and "51."Ĭheck out this now closed eBay auction, guys. Moreover, I've never seen a Wolfgang with a fourth digit of its serial number higher than "2" (9102****). I've ALWAYS accurately dated my Wolfgangs through Peavey and while those numbers coincidentally work out with a few of them, it doesn't with all of them. I've owned 24 Wolfgangs and worked on many more. Someone was making stuff up (further evidenced by the fact that they called the arch top model a "Standard," which was never an official term used by Peavey-only one adopted by owners).
Who knows? I guess Peavey doesLike I said, the info from Wikipedia is pure crap. Again it may be a coincidence but it seems to work for my guitars based on what I know about them. My patent pending serial # starts with 9100 like yours Brett (Meaning made in 97 or 98) my other wolfgang starts with 9102 and I believe it was made in 2000 so that supports the theory I found on Wiki.
