Awesome!

[@russellzauner]

Finally we get to hear something about ... basses. *thank you*

[@tony_n316]

"Why do you need 3 guitars on stage???.... Because I can't have 4." This kid is such a chip off the old block and I love what he's doing with his music. I feel so blessed that in the absence of his dad, we have him to take us fans to the next part of this crazy journey.

[@bobabooey4537]

Its too bad his music and guitar paying skills werent a chip off the old block lol.

I heard Wolfie was a great guy and he totally seems like he is. Crazy that he's not some spoiled, out of touch punk. It's nice to see

[@BJ-fj6jw]

Brian Barker ...And both parents extreme celebrities! Wolfgang talks like his dad during interviews

[@mcpappysgolden]

Incredible that he amounted to anything at all, isn't it?

[@raisetheline]

It’s not crazy at all, it’s crazy that Eddy and mom where a couple of very few who raised a fine young man.

[@crsantin]

I don’t like hollow bodies but congrats to Wolf for continuing to develop EVH gear. 5150 lives on. I miss Eddie so much.

[@laurelhardy4064]

Just like his dad, humble, and a all around nice guy.

[@daveg4236]

I wouldn't call ed humble. At all Very insecure and talked a ton of shit

[@TheBrightSounds]

I love that Ed transitioned traditional Gibson style Humbuckers into Strats and now Wolf is furthering the Gibson 335 into a more versatile, faster instrument.

[@chingasofarkaso]

This guitar is less versatile than any 335.

[@TheBrightSounds]

Also that Eddie's humbucker in the original Frankenstrat was taken from a 335 and rewound by Seymour Duncan.

Wolf is such a class act, great video.

[@TroyNaumu808]

Love Wolfie's dad. One of the greatest ever. i am glad and happy that he wants to be himself. Be his own man. Wolfie is a great musician in his own right and has his own sound and identity.

[@BEINGOOD77]

Well spoken. Love his style.

[@jsk8et]

It’s nice to hear the spontaneity Wolf has with effects on songs. And talking about the guitars as they’re developing and testing them. It’s just a fun vibe.

[@ralex3697]

Wolfie is so spectacular, what an articulate respectable young man. Not spoiled or entitled. Great parenting

[@JokersWild70]

Nice addition to the EVH line. I'm not a hollow body fan myself, but I'm sure a good amount of people are. Just shows how different Wolf and his dad are: Wolf doesn't like the 335 neck because it feels too big, yet Eddie said for some reason he could "blaze on a 335." That's a tough shadow to step out of, but the guy is doing very well for himself by BEING himself.

[@martianshoes]

I love hollowbodies, from Alvin Lee to Chuck Berry to BB King and even some early Clapton. Can be problematic on stage but tone to die for. WVH holds tons of promise, his pedigrees is both a asset and liability - talk about the shadow he has to deal with! It doesn’t seem like he’s hit his stride identity-wise but no reason he shouldn’t…..it would be great if he collaborated with some other artists, guested on some tracks here and there. Get some “been there” musical tattoos…

[@AcidicDelusion]

An absolute monster of a player. Love what he's doing as an artist.

[@jimmyjennings8956]

It's so good to see Wolfgang be noticed for his own thing, even though his dad was and still is my idol im proud to see this and im sure his father is watching as well and is most proud of all.

[@JohnnyBeane]

I love the new guitar Wolfgang!

[@pambannister4885]

This is great..I loved watching this and seeing all the guys..

[@boofert.washington2499]

[@garywebb5058]

Oh hell yes. Totally down with these guitars! Love the tone Wolf has created playing them. I will certainly pick up a couple when they become available…..can’t wait. EVH gear is stellar, absolutely love every bit of it! Rock on Wolf and EVH!

[@lueysixty-six7300]

It's a bit more slash than Eddie isn't it... Tone wise? And playing style as well as supposed.. Actually.... To be fair.. he is sitting right in the middle between Slash and Eddie. I think that's a pretty cool result. It's how we all come up with our nown tones and styles... Combine all our favourite guitarists traits.. become a Hodge podge.. a new thing all unto itself. It's yet another take on the cross between a Stratocaster and a Les Paul... Or es-335 actually in this case. But so many artists have done their own take of the blending of Les Paul and Strat. Eddie's own guitars have always been a mix of the famed two. And nearly every other guitarist... From David Grisham... To Steve lukather... To Steve Vai... Even Keith Richards' fat teles were mixes between telly's and Les Pauls So many different fat strats and ergonomic mahogany single cuts or fat teles... Just like so many different players with their owns Styles and tones... All traceable back to similar origins. It's pretty cool. It's the story of humankind really..

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gigitonsvajv]

It randomly came across my feel as well. I was like dang what good luck! 😎

[@Tripple-L432]

I had to Revisit this after watching Wolfe play at the Taylor Hawkins Memorial concert. To hear what I heard as a Kid coming out of him,Talk about DNA, The Gift is Natural and No one can do Eddie so Naturally,. Not Dweezil.. No One. I feel so blessed hearing it and Knowing Eddie is still alive through Wolfe,Yea Wolfe is stupid Talented and has his own thing, When he wants to do Dads stuff its UNdeniable, Awesome !!!!!!

[@LikeMindedLunatics]

I hope you get a chance to see him live. I've seen both EVH and WVH, and I literally had tears in my eyes watching Wolf play. We saw him in a small club in Austin, and he was the nicest, most humble front man I've ever seen. It was like hanging out with a buddy. And then he'd proceed to play, and it felt like it was decades earlier watching Ed. I remember watching that Smithsonian Institute interview with Eddie, and in it he said something along the lines of "oh, I'm okay, but wait until you hear Wolf's album," and I thought, yeah, right. That's just a dad being lovingly boastful of his son. But it wasn't. Ed wasn't BSing.

[@Bredaxe]

Saw Eddie twice live, can't wait to see Wolf. Remember, it's not just Eddie that gave him talent. His grandfather was a great musician also.

[@TheKrakoviano2]

Wolfe is the most honest guy in rock/ metal ! I really admire his honesty when he talks

My most favourite rig rundown ever, Moreover, Wolf not only describe his gear but also playing it live. Love these guys. Great guitar design and tone.

[@elohimembroidery]

Thank you Wolf for keeping so many hallmarks of Ed in the design while making the hollowbody unique to you. You are your father's son in every way and it is treat to see you continue the VH legacy, The tribute at Wembley was EPIC and all you need to prove the critics & doubters wrong. The Relic looked great on stage too!

Dang, those hollow-body guitars are beautiful; A sports-car 335! The Natural lacquered one looks Amazing! The one in sunburst is Classy! My favorite is the White Relic beast! Most fans don't remember that Eddie played a 335 at some point in his search for the perfect Rock Machine. I can imagine the uncontrollable feedback from the hollow body, plus the large body size limited his High-Voltage gymnastics, so the 335 had to go! At least he kept the Humbucker, & the rest is history! Thanks, Wolfie, for keeping the flame burning! Blessings!
