Since no one's responding, I bought a Chibson several years ago and had Tim at Buddah pickups make a set of EVH-like pickups for it. Looks and plays great. Hate the Floyd, and it's a good thing because it's crap.

Well, this surely is the most active thread on the forum! Skipped 2022 altogether.

I do want to try a Special. I want a total of two guitars and Wolfgang Special seems on paper as the best guitar to pair with the Player Plus Tele I have. I cannot justify the cost of a Corona one.

But I am not in a hurry as I am a noob and I want to get further along before I buy a FR guitar. My 11 yo has a Shecter on which I put a Di Marzio Super Distortion so I have that option at present if I want it though I loathe that guitar.

I would have thought that along with the classics from Fender and Gibson, two guitars that really should have become extremely popular would be the Jem, which is indeed the best-selling signature model of all time (unless you count LP), and the Wolfgang.

But marketing is a big thing so I wonder if Wolfgang as a name just lacks marketing luster. Or perhaps EVH missed the right moment to get his model launched.

My Special is absolutely amazing. I need to play it more. The only Fender's that I like close to as much are my Jeff Beck Strat and Baja Tele. I wish I could get a Strat neck carved exactly like these EVHs.

Do you mind measuring the distance from low E to high E strings near the nut? I know the nut but I am very curious about the actual string spacing. I have been looking for weeks to try one in the Phoenix area and there are 0 in between several GC and one Sam Ash. Thanks!

I am considering replacing my Tele Player Plus with a Wolfgang Special. I really like mine because it is very comfy with a very nice neck but the stacked humbuckers, while very nice, lack enough output for me and the series version is not quite what I want either.

As a beginner with hand issues for 4 months now and going from one doctor to another, I focus squarely on what I really like so the original idea of developing more broadly no longer applies. I practice, without the solos, Jamie's Crying, Little Dreamer, Aint talking Bout Love (my first solo), starting to work on Atomic Punk, also Toto Hold the Line, Metallica Enter Sandman, things like that.

I am happy to, but please send me a PM to remind me. I am out of town and won't remember this thread when I get back in a couple of days. I'll save the PM until I get home as a reminder.

Musikraft offers 3 asymmetrical options and one is their interpretation of an EVH.
I love the neck on my Peavey Wolfgang Standard Deluxe but wish it was wider and rosewood
I’m going to order a Musikraft at 1 11/16 Rosewood fb. For my Strat.

I just got my Special last week. Pro Audio Star was selling them 46% off!
It a fantastic guitar. My only Floyd axe for a reason.
