Peavey HP 2 - New Old Stock Guitars! - They're Back & Better Than Ever! - Review & Demo

[@charliewilson1596]

A video comparing the Peavey HP2, Music Man Axis and the EVH Wolfgang would be interesting, considering the same guy designed all 3 guitars.

[@tprountzos]

It's basically the same guitar, he just switched sponsors.

[@joewebrocks]

I have a video online, where I played the EBMM, Peavey and EVH side by side... Now own a HP2 as well...let me tell you, it's a great guitar with that Wolfgang feeling, but the PUPs sound different and the Peavey lic FR Tremolo is bad...changed it and changed the PUP, now it's a killer...but would be an unfair comparison now.

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

It’s been done. When they were the Ernie Ball Music Man EVH Signature, Peavey EVH Wolfgang, and EVH Wolfgang.

[@richardgarner2350]

I still have my 90's Peavy Wolfie in Red. I bought it from Electro Music in Doncaster. Fabulous guitar. Difference with the ones in this video is the switches to split the pickups - none on the original.

[@josephgaude]

Ed would be super proud! You did it more than justice!

[@strangemagic5502]

I'd forgotten all about these wonderful guitars and always meant to purchase one. I recall that Peavey introduced a Jack Daniels version many moons ago.

[@drcks]

OH MY GOD THESE LOOK SO AWESOME. THEY SOUND REALLY FRICKIN GOOD. THIS IS GOING TO BE AN AWESOME VIDEO

[@x_metal3352]

Cool. I recommend you do a review on the Pacifica

[@harrygoodchild4563]

He already has

[@x_metal3352]

@@harrygoodchild4563 thanks man I’ll check it out👍🤘

[@ericwarrington6650]

Wow man...you sound amazing on that...

[@leftyrighty5045]

Peavey bass player here. Peavey USA basses are some of the BEST ever made. I choose my Peaveys over my Alembics, usually.

[@RevGary]

Excellent review Dagan I now want one of these lol will depend upon the price. Blessings from Glasgow

[@marcmuller3429]

Its Van Halen time! Love the Look of the old Wolfgangs and They are a good options. Great playing and great Video.Thx

[@thornwivans]

Dagan...you are a modern day guitar hero!

[@ytb917]

It's great we now have four legit EVH machines: Axis, HP2, Frankie, EVH signature

[@Polarisfff]

HP1

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

I’d throw in the Kramer 84 as well. It predates all these as it’s based on the original 5150 Kramer.

[@davevargo5873]

One cool looking Ax it sounds great 🤘🎸

[@stefanoviscardi1429]

Yeah Man!! Amazing Demo !!

[@andrewmaher8409]

Don't think the Floyd is meant to be floating? It does have a little rubber strip under it, so that might be alowing you to slightly pull up. But it's meant to be a divebomb only trem as per original W'gang.

[@Sea_Knight]

I’ve got the Tiger Eye with kill switch and EVH pups. It roars, wouldn’t give it up for anything.

[@bluwng]

They are awesome, I still like the HP special better.

[@RocktCityTim]

Hmm, I wonder what our friends at Peavey are up to. Well, the Raptor’s still around and under $200. That’s a bit below what I’m looking for. Let’s see what else that have - Hey! The HP2 is new and it’s ... $2,500!??! Wait, did I miss some options?

[@maxmustardman298]

NOS, or pimited edition if you want

[@brentscott6326]

This was not designed by EVH, a guy from peavey designed it, I forget his name. That's why Peavey can use it.

[@nickfarrow4788]

Jim De Cola

[@thomasturner8064]

That guy should at least get a nod from EVH (Fender). He did all the grunt work developing the guitar ( the Wolfgang is different than the original Ernie Ball EBMM), then EVH (the company)did a couple of minor changes to it and called it their own. And raised the price three-fourfold.

[@martinclayton7260]

I'd love to have one!

[@skydivechris2802]

love it, especially the tiger eye!

[@mdd770]

I just got one of these in Moonburst. Love it.

[@crisrose521]

No purple or that cool raspberry color ?

[@rocksteady6448]

Its made in Europe its awesome

[@auggierobledo941]

New colors would be nice

[@stefanoviscardi1429]

super demonstration. Are they both new old stock? In your opinion there is a difference between the new, the stock and the new one?

[@zakkcovers18]

Cool 🎸guitars

[@heyjarrod]

So I guess Peavey still owns the license, and can make what looks like a Wolfgang? 🎸🤘🏻

[@andrewmaher8409]

Apparently it was a gentleman's agreement when Eddie left Peavey and went to fender. The agreement was that as long as Eddie didn't let Fender make his amps, then Peavey wouldn't make the Wolfgang. Then Eddie did take his amps to Fender. So Peavey eventually decided to start make this model again.

[@mikkosutube]

there is really no need for a ten degree tilt on the headstock of a guitar with a locking nut..

[@VossGiannis]

This is also the difference on the EVH USA and MIM EVH special models. One is 1100 and the other 3400. There is so much bullshit in guitars.

[@cmwfastracer]

Somehow sounds just like a real Eddie guitar even in single coil. But that’s been debated if his bridge pickup was even fully wired to be a true Hum-bucker

[@redrocker1055]

Peavey Wolfgang over Fender. If not only for the heastock

[@overkill2006]

And the Floyd rose.

[@flavionovaes363]

Hey I would like to clear up a question about Peavey HP2. Is it my visual impression or is the size (length) of this guitar smaller than the others you have there? how does he compare to others?? Could inform me? thanks

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

Flavio It’s 2 things going on that gives it’s tiny appearance. The neck is inserted farther into the body but also all of the Wolfgang bodies are smaller bodies. The first one I tried I thought I had some Jr version it was so small feeling. I’ve not ever purchased one because when I pick them up it just feels very small. I often wonder if the Signature American version is a bigger body. But for sure yes this guitar body is on the small side.

[@alessandrocerioli2151]

Yes, the Wolfgang, HP Special and HP2 are small and nimble guitars, mine weights 3.2 kg as well.

[@Polarisfff]

And this guy is big I think. 1,90 meters or more?

[@SouthpawSatch]

Sounds and looks great, shame there's no left handed option.

[@jasonpietrobone4570]

We all now evh played them the look just like the Wolfgangs

[@DaganWilkin]

Eddie designed them too

[@bluwng]

What do they mean by old stock, the original HP special had a completely different body.

[@alexcurtis173]

Can you provide the details on the strap you mentioned?

[@nathanspratt266]

Dagan can you do a synyster gates custom s demo

[@wig28082]

Hallo. I have a sugestion for a next Video. Is it possible to make a video about cheap(maybe under 500€) Floyd Rose Guitars that do not suck and are good for songs from artists like Pantera, EvH or Mötley Crüe. This may helps some people out there, including me. Thank you

[@zanzabar4ky7]

The evh Wolfgang is about the only thing in that price range with a usable Floyd. 700 to a grand gets you lots of choices with a Floyd 1000. I just picked up a jem Jr ignoring the warnings and the Floyd like from goto in it is sketch

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

What does the HP stand for? High Performance?

[@davolk9525]

I had my Peavey Wolfgang pickups split. I'm surprised it took so long for Peavey to do this. He keeps referring to "the artist". Are we no longer allowed to say the name Eddie Van Halen?

[@vaiisgod8]

It’s because fender now owns the evh brand or I should say that’s why I would see that being the reason

[@aimansyahmiaimanharyadi6386]

Tawau malaysia...hadir

[@Azwad]

Who owns the trademark for the body ? Peavey or EVH?

[@PMTVUK]

They're slightly different shapes. So each have their own trademark 🤘

[@Azwad]

@@PMTVUK I didn't notice it. Thanks for the information.

[@sleevelessace]

how? doesnt ed own the patent for this guitar?

[@rickyork7089]

🎸🎸🎸🎸😎👍

[@Theronimus]

Hm... where are the difference about EVH Guitars?

[@flavionovaes363]

Beaultiful designer and Sound, BUT Little guitar for me :(

[@jasoniriarte8215]

A

[@anthonyvaccari4607]

I can't justify £2,560. Think I'll stick with my wolfgang standard..

[@Elmapachito33]

Agree...Same here man!!

[@UKSportsFan]

The "old" Peavey Wolfgang Standards (released from '96 through '04) are now more expensive to buy than the NOS Peavey HP2s....
