There are a few prototype colours on serial production guitars, with as low as 1 guitar with a certain colour, experiments that Peavey made while in production. One of the examples of this is a dark gloss oxblood finish with a black binding, now owned by an Austin guitar dealer (bearing the patent number but no serial). Some of these had black or gold hardware.

USA-built Peavey Wolfgangs typically had serial numbers that started with "91" followed by six more digits. Late-run USA Wolfgangs had serial numbers that started with "50" or "51". A very few prototype models had serial numbers that started with "1". Though Peavey Wolfgang owners have often sought to find a corroboration in the serial numbers of their guitars and the year in which each was built (similar to the system Gibson uses), there was no such information contained in the serial numbers. There was also no code specific to Custom Shop models.
The first two numerical digits of the serial number (found on the back of the headstock) will tell you what year the instrument was made. For example, for serial number 0236758, the "02" indicates that the guitar was made in 2002; for serial number W10052743, the "10" indicates that the guitar was made in 2010.
How do I determine which model I have?In most cases, the model name is stamped on the truss rod cover (just above the nut). Make sure to check the Vault for discontinued models. Sending us some digital pictures would be the best way to help identify your guitar. If you are unable to send any, please email us, and be prepared with as much information as possible about the instrument. This includes serial number, body shape, color, pickup configuration, number of frets, type of bridge, etc. We will do our best to identify your guitar.

Yes, Eddie used Marshall. But Peavey as well as Fender tube amps for his tone for many years across multiple records. His 5150 signature amplifier is also a tube head that is enjoyed by many musicians worldwide.
The first version of the 5150 was rumoured to be designed similar to a Jose Arredondo modded-Marshall. Apparently, Jose had made an amp for Eddie that was to become the first 5150. However, James Brown who was the lead engineer at Peavey at the time refutes those claims saying he has never ever seen this Amp. The design and manufacturing of this Amp was all done at Peavey. It took nearly 2 years of Prototype Amps and going back and forth between EVH and James before they finally settled on a design. 2ff7e9595c
