Spotlight Guitar: One-of-a-kind and ready to play
1997 Peavey EVH Wolfgang
This rare 1997 Peavey EVH Wolfgang in glossy ivory finish is from the “Pat. Pending” era — the original US-made run (1996–1998) that followed Eddie Van Halen’s design with Peavey before Fender took over the line.
Crafted in Peavey’s US factory (Mississippi), this guitar features a basswood body with a carved top, Floyd Rose trem, two Peavey-designed humbuckers, and signature EVH oil-finished maple neck.
Gloss ivory color was offered alongside black and other finishes.
First-year 1997 models were shipped as early as April 1997—making this a genuine 1st-year issue.
Every guitar from David’s Guitar Loft is professionally set up for optimal playability — 10–46 strings on electrics and 12–53 on acoustics. Want it your way? We’ll customize the setup, strings, and tuning to your exact preference before it ships (Free of charge) *Set up form will pop up after guitar is added to cart!
First Year Production! 1997 Peavey EVH Wolfgang (Gloss Ivory)
We have something truly special in the studio today: a 1997 Peavey EVH Wolfgang from the very first year of production! This is the original run that started it all, designed to Eddie Van Halen's exacting standards.
Clad in a classy Gloss Ivory finish, this first-year gem captures the magic of the early Peavey era. The solid Basswood body screams with resonance, but the real star is the Oil-Finished Birdseye Maple neck and fingerboard. It feels incredibly fast, raw, and broken-in—just how Eddie liked it.
First Year Model (1997): A true collector's piece.
The Tone: Custom Peavey/EVH Humbuckers deliver that legendary high-output "brown sound."
The Hardware: Rock-solid Peavey Licensed Floyd Rose (PT-505) bridge for dive bombs.
The Tricks: Includes the signature D-Tuna on the low E for instant Drop-D switching.
The Build: Decola recessed truss rod wheel for easy tweaks and the original Peavey Hardshell Case.
Whether you're a collector hunting for a first-year model or a player chasing the ultimate rock tone, this Wolfgang is the real deal.

“David and Stephen couldn't be nicer or more accommodating. They really do whatever they can to make you happy and make your instrument play its very best. Prices for setups are very affordable. I will be taking them many more to work on.”

“Great shop. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Service is top notch. Recently purchased a guitar and found that the set-up was causing some pain in my hands, while playing. David worked with me on getting the set-up right. Now playing pain free and I really appreciate the extra time he spent getting it right. Don't think I ever would have gotten that attention to detail at one of the larger big box stores.”
