November 17, 2002

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Peavey Electronics Corp., is proud to introduce the Edward Van Halen Custom Shop. That totally tricked-out, customized Wolfgang electric guitar you've been pining for all these years is now only a few mouse clicks away at www.Peavey.com.

Peavey's EVH Custom Shop offers guitarists a brilliantly simplistic online user interface where they can quickly and easily 'mouse click' the handmade Wolfgang Guitar of their dreams into reality. The Wolfgang customization process takes the guitarist through every conceivable feature option offered, from hand-selected body woods and book-matched top materials to hand-painted finishes to meticulously installed body, neck and headstock binding, to one-of-a-kind neck inlays.

In a six step process, a guitarist chooses one of the four Wolfgang body styles, Custom Deluxe, Custom, Special Custom Deluxe, or Special Custom, and then adds the bridge and hardware, body wood, top material (for deluxe models only),fretboard, inlays, headstock and binding. Every step of the design process offers the guitarist a wide selection of body and top woods, hardware finishes, fretboard
materials, a huge range of Metallic, Transparent and Solid body finishes, as well as a custom paint shop that offers airbrushing and custom graphics.

The EVH Custom Shop is fully supported with highly detailed and complete 'Help' interface that can assist the guitarist at every step of the design process. Not clear on what kind of tone you're going to get from woods such as Koa or Alder? Click the "Help" button for an accurate description of the five types of body woods offered. Wondering how that Gold Floyd Rose tremolo is going to look on that red transparent finish? Click the "Preview" button to watch your dream Wolfgang take shape at every stage of the design process. As the guitarist selects from the wide range of options and accruements, the dream Wolfgang is simultaneously priced out as each feature is added.

Once the online custom order is complete or the available instrument is selected for purchase, with a click of the "Buy It" button and the entering of the billing and shipping information the online purchase is quickly completed with the Peavey dealer of guitarist's choice. The EVH Custom Shop Vault also features an available online inventory of Wolfgang guitars that are just waiting to find a happy home.

In an unprecedented move to dramatically improve the musician's access to the Peavey gear of their dreams, Peavey.com has linked the entire Peavey dealer network to create the most efficient and comprehensive one-stop destination to research, locate and purchase Peavey products from the Peavey dealer of their choice.
