Hh telecaster vs evh Wolfgang big decision to make.

[Dave47857]

Who owns both and what are your thoughts on this question? Is the Wolfgang a go to for anyone out there?? Is the tele worth the money or will my Stratocaster get me all the way??

Wolfgang sounds great and has a FR.
Tele looks like a Tele....
Wolfie for the win!!

Or put a humbucker in the strat and a single spot humbucker in neck?

I can't speak for the EVH, but I have a Strat, a standard pup Tele, an HH Tele, and a FilterTron Tele.
The Strat will not cover what any of Teles can do (and vice-versa).

You're just going to need to get one of each...

 

[DirtySteve]

You need both.

You need a Tele Jethro...

 

[Jethro Rocker]

You need a Tele Jethro...

Oh man I threw up a little....

 

[DirtySteve]

What do you need it for? To me the question is too vague to answer without something to go by.

There is a huge variety of HH teles, and a huge variation in prices.
Some are worth a fortune, some are junk.

I can think of only one TRUE guitar sell regret looking back, an early run Wolfgang (a PV in gold with arch top). This would be a no brainer for me lol.

Lol. Forgot where I was and was waiting for our Tele lovin friend to show up.IDK

Damn Tele toasters.

I’ve got a jap evh wolfie and a tele but with single coils as standard.

My wolfie play very fast and has a big output with hot pickups. Quite a compressed sounding pickup but well balanced. Neck is very narrow but comfy.

My tele is a riff machine, more vintage radius neck profile, slower but comfy. Pickups are obviously not what you want but that’s best difference I can offer.

 

[BRMarshall]

I’ve never played a Wolfgang guitar, but bought this HH Tele a couple years ago. SD pickups, made in Indonesia. There is nothing about it I don’t like.

 

[paul-e-mann]

I need to see what they look like to decide...

Aside from both being ugly AF (personal pref) I cannot imagine how different two other guitars would potentially fill the hands then one built from the 1950s with all the ergos of a cinder block and one from the 1990s tailored to a guy who is spastically running all over the FB.

Absolutely! Iconic and symmetrical - a classical aesthetic for the standard of beauty… unlike the clipped toenail with the flaccid uncircumcised cock (or Larry the Cable Guy bottle opener) HS.

In terms of sound, I have come to respect the tele quite a bit more over the years (much as I dislike ALL F-types and HATE Strat quack above all). I can only imagine an EVH-speced guitar would be a monster though, ugly or not.

Sometimes things that look awful sound really good. Just that fact alone saved my arse many times ...

The V (which I personally don't care for) took a deal of pondering and designing and underwent many, many revisions as you can certainly confirm. The Tele was a lucky accident as it was initially intended for amp testing only. Leo then figured out he could market 'em...
