Phred Wolph Demo & Review | Jerry Rig

[@joegoliver3]

You are a Saint for making these videos. (You might be a sinner too, but that's ok). Found your channel a few weeks ago and it's been highly entertaining. Kudos good sir.

[@matthewatwood2581]

I love watching this. Makes me feel like fourteen again, drooling over guitars in music shops. The only guitar I have now is a small acoustic my baby-mom found in a dumpster.

[@humanbeing2420]

That's good enough to get you any Jerry tone from any era of his career, as long as you're good enough. It's all in the fingers.

[@user-cb5we5dr5g]

When I order mine I'm gonna put in the extra notes "don't let ups ship this"

[@Jakob_Rastafari]

Wow it sounds so good man. Such great video. Sounds just like the real wolf. I love phred instruments he has done so much for the GD community.

[@jakollee]

Wow, awesome and beautiful guitar! I’m glad Phred was able to resurrect it!

[@russellzauner]

AHHH I almost asked about this on the stream! thanks for showing us this cool guitar.

[@wolfpac1970]

Been waiting for this demo video, thanks Davvy. Look forward to getting my Deadbolt. Phred Instruments is certainly the most affordable option for a Jerry style guitar. I got all the upgrades on mine and the final cost was still cheaper than a Gibson Les Paul.

[@BrianHoggeMusician]

Nice Vid Brother Bear. Got me a PHIGA...BEAUTIFUL Guitar. I am eyeing a PHRED WOLF and this is great. I am going to get most of the upgrades...brass, etc...but I'll do the pickups mi self. :) Oh...Thanks much for the other vids as well...informative without being smug! ;)

[@chancethegreat]

Love your videos. I've played guitar on and off for 30 years but I'm nowhere near as good as you. Career, family, home, took priority but when I found your channel it's inspired me to learn more and play recently so thank you. I love these Phred guitars. The only way I'm buying one is to get rid of one of my AM fender strats. Probably would be a dumb choice.

[@keaneobean2013]

Thanks for the review davvy!

[@steveaustin2103]

I will order my Wolph with the Davvy customization. Where they crack the neck, glue it back to get that extra special Davvy/Jerry tone. Seriously, I placed my Wolph order Dec 1 and yeah, the wait will be long due to popularity and covid constraints.

[@DIYTutorialGuy]

Outstanding demo! Great playing on the Sugaree ⚡️

[@timcallahan9894]

Best guitar demo. Ever.

[@robinski199]

Wow besides all the killer Jerry tones, the mutron issue of the signal not powerful enough for normal guitars but you can actually turn down the volume and it still auto wahs so perfectly...truly impressive!

[@ctcards2636]

Yeah the Mutron and these OBEL system based guitars are amazing. You seriously have not really played a Envelop filter if you havnt use one of these guitars.

[@soulrebel4095]

Thank you bro for the insight,love the channel.

[@cleawox]

I have this guitar and love it. It seems like you got a heavy one though. Mine is 9.2 lbs. with brass upgrades. Phred's site has the stock one at approximately 8 lbs. Great channel.

[@ctcards2636]

All of mine with all the hardware etc is almost 10lbs. I love heavy guitars tho ;-)

[@gratefulpipeandcigar3239]

It sounds super great! I never play expensive instruments because I can’t. $700 sounds right on time and worth every penny.

[@deansmith9314]

19:56 I lost my shit Dave and now I’m waiting for my own wolph 😂

[@Taffer9876]

I just ordered the Wolph fully loaded with the neck-through. The hard shell case should help quite a bit for shipping. It is going from Cali to Arizona. I do not know how long before I get it. I am not in the queue as of yet. It will have the pre-amp bypass toggle on it. Have no idea what it would be needed for, but I will have it if I do need it lol. I will let you klnow how it goes:)

[@LMurphyMusic]

How’re you liking it?

[@Taffer9876]

@@LMurphyMusic I am still 136th in line. It will be a while. At least it will be paid in full by the time I get it. I can't wait:)

[@DalyVideo]

Great review. Can't wait to get mine!

[@kennethkitchin6538]

Sounds great!

[@kaleocambra1643]

I've been eyeballin phred guitars for five years and this is the first review that makes me wanna bite the bullet. Thinking of getting one the trey models tho. Been wantin a semi hollow/fully hollow for a while

[@ctcards2636]

You cant beat the Phred guitars in value imho. I have not tried the Trey based guitars, but i know of a few people that own them and like them a lot. Phreds a good guy and will help ya find the right guitar. 🙂

[@joegoliver3]

It's also to be noted how much better your Milkman amp sounds compared to the Mesa. I was not expecting that. Maybe it's just the XLR out difference I'm hearing. But you have made me a believer of Milkman products. Cough cough cough. Get this man a Milkman Sponsorship Stat.

[@sethmoniz4804]

Missed last night stream:/ chill video

[@BigJoeThrows]

Sounds amazing. Sold.

[@jerryvz]

Great breakdown of the guitar. What has your experience been with the upgrade options? Are all needed to approach the orig?

[@TobyDavvy]

The only upgrades on this one are the brass pieces. And the only one I would really suggest is the brass nut.

[@STSGuitar16]

I'm assuming the mini toggle in between the two inputs turns the obel on or off? I'm also curious about how long it took the company to process your order and ship the guitar to you and all that, so what was the timeframe like for you from buying the guitar to the guitar arriving at your doorstep? The main reason I'm asking about the shipping is because the Scarlet Wolph is currently in stock on their website, but it says that shipping is backlogged right now, so I was wondering if you ran into that when you got yours. And also, if you could only choose one of the possible upgrade options from the base model guitar, which one do you think would give you the best improvement when compared to the base model? Last thing lol, do you prefer the Phred Wolph model or the Tiger/Rosebud-style model? Cool video man, love me some Jerry tones and will probably spring for one of these pretty soon.

[@Chris_043]

Just happened to stumble across your room. Think I'll hang around a bit

[@joshuacumming4132]

Did you go with the upgraded pickups or the upgraded wiring? Brass nut? Thanks for the rundown.

[@TobyDavvy]

No upgrades on the pups or wiring. But yes, brass nut and accents.

[@swamphunt]

that is the super cool thing about Phred's guitars you can pick and choose different levels of "upgrades" I own a Tella it is prob one of my best built guitars I have honestly, no joke.

[@renegadejibber]

@@TobyDavvy will you do another video with the Wolph with heavy tones (Zappa/ACDC/Deep Purple) instead of just GD tones?

[@Merkaba4203]

If you've played the Eastwood Wolf model, how would you say they compare to the Phred model? (price points aside)

[@lespaul-vy4vn]

Nice video...and nice playing. Being a total Gibson Les Paul guy, I have been looking at Phred Guitars for a few years now but never pulled the pin on one. After stumbling upon this video I think this may be the year. Question for you...any chance you have tabs for Morning Dew? Just a favorite of mine and wasn't lucky enough to catch Jerry do one all the times I saw The Dead play. Anyway if you can help with tabs totally grateful. Either way stay safe and keep on playing.

[@scottcachopo5632]

My next guitar!

[@glenndrumheiser7069]

The bridge pu may sound good for cold rain. It’s got that tinny sound

[@josephsacher1048]

Super cool demo. Love your channel. Curious why you opted not to go full Jerry with the decals? Thanks

[@TobyDavvy]

I decided to take the decals off because it just isn’t my style. I gotta do things to make the guitar “mine” ya know?

[@bearsgonefishing9897]

It's beautiful.....and seems to be a lot of guitar for frankly not much money. I don't NEED another guitar, but damn I WANT this.

[@helixworld]

The tones are fantastic. It might be more lively and better sounding than the real thing.

[@peterzernzach1563]

Dig the guitar....dig the playing. Would love to see someone stretch these beauties outside of their comfort zone...like plug in a fuzz....drive a little harder...etc. I betcha these could go beyond the Dead/Phish/jammy jam realm ( I love that realm) would be nice to hear.

[@thomaskorth9030]

Do you know if the different color variations of the wolph are the same electronics/wiring setup

[@TobyDavvy]

The other wolphs are setup more like the liger and deadbolt. The original wolph is the only one setup like mine.

[@waltberger7885]

I own a few, love these guitars. Once you try one its very hard to stop playing it ;-)

[@mikefloyd3152]

Do they make this with just strat pickups. Not a fan of humbuckers

[@TobyDavvy]

They do indeed

[@tjalve93]

Would you ever check out the eastwood wolf?

[@TobyDavvy]

If they sent me one, for sure. But, I can’t afford that thing.

[@elijahblu_]

sold but imma get the neck thru lol

[@jmfavreau1]

any particular reason you’d choose the Wolph NT (neck thru) vs the regular Wolph?

[@chrishinkle1764]

Any reason you chose the Wolph over the Liger or other models? Also, why did you pick Phred over other Jerry replicas like those from Eastwood or Scarlet Fire? Cheers

[@TobyDavvy]

The wolf from Phred was sent to me on a sponsorship. I didn’t get to pick. But I am glad he sent the wolf as it’s my favorite Jerry guitar. I love the way it plays. It sounds great. And to be straight up, I don’t have the money for an Eastwood or scarlet fire. Haha.

[@chrishinkle1764]

@@TobyDavvy Cool - what particular aspects of Wolf do you prefer over Jerry's other famous models? (I have played none.)

[@TobyDavvy]

Haha. I literally just like the way it looks more.

[@jmfavreau1]

Hey! Is this the Wolph or the Wolph NT?

[@TobyDavvy]

Original recipe Wolph.

[@qhgflies]

What amp are you playing through here?

[@aaw47]

cool man !

[@user-cb5we5dr5g]

Did u get factory pickups or the dimarzio upgrade?

[@TobyDavvy]

Stock pups

[@chrisstratch3943]

how long did it take for yours to come in the mail?

[@TobyDavvy]

It was a sponsorship. He had the body sitting in his office due to there being some kind of imperfection, and he offered to load it with the stock pickups and brass and send it out to me. All in all, from the agreement of the sponsorship to him getting it to me was about two or three months.

[@chrisstratch3943]

@@TobyDavvy I wanna get one of these guitars since I play in A dead cover band but I really don’t wanna wait 3-6 months ugh

[@TobyDavvy]

For the price, you can’t beat it. These are boutique instruments. He only makes them in batches. It’ll be worth the wait. I promise. And you can always reach out to him to see which model can be done the fastest.

[@ctcards2636]

I own 5 Phred Wolfs and they have been my main guitars for almost 8 years. I have 4 of the standard model and I have one Green one. Love these guitars and even if you dont like the electronics, its easy enough to put new electronics into the amp. But the models I own play and feel and sound great. Also people who buy this dont have to be a dead head, this guitar like a Strat can fit so many peoples styles of music. People think im trying to copy Jerry.. Well that would mean everyone who plays a Strat is copying Buddy Holly or someone else. Funny how people dont look at the big picture. The amount of tones this guitar gets is impossible to get from most every guitar out there. If you have never tried a guitar with a preamp in, your missing out. I can get Knopfler tones out my Wolfs. I do play Grateful Dead and ive actually played with members of the Dead thruout the years, but this guitar is far from a one trick pony. PRS is one of the companies that understands electronics and how to offer people the most tonal options. They have guitars that seem to have gotten a little bit of their design from Jerrys guitars. A preamp imho should be in every guitar, because now when i pick up my other guitars, they just dont offer very many options. Anywhoo. Love Phred and his Wolf guitars, hes always there if you have a question or an issue. Its nice not to have to spend $10k to obtain a guitar like this and thats how much some of these replica guitars cost. Fender just released one that is $20K !! My guitars sound great, stay in tune, feel nice (love the neck profile) and offers me endless tones. Phred rocks ;-)

[@QuadrupleBackflip]

"I think the middle really shines..." hm yeah we'll see about tha--WOOOOHHHHHHH nah yeah the guys at Phreds are awesome. Id like to see where they got the specs for some of their guitars, I think the wolph couuldve only came from a replica.

[@onammoreno4834]

Yyyeeeeeeeesssssssss

[@morchel332]

iam gonna get one, wtf :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@tylerthompson1842]

A sheep in wolfs clothing 🥀

[@whiskersb5296]

I don’t think it sounded very good.

[@Acolis]

the buuld quality looks pretty disappointing in my opinion- for the price point. if not for the "bells and whistles" this looks like the build quality of an off the shelf $200 guitar center special.

[@TobyDavvy]

I hear your opinion, but I gotta disagree. Being someone who has actually held one and played it. Ya know, not just seeing it through a computer screen. But, whatever, I’m sure Phred isn’t going to miss your business.
