Very Excited - I Just Ordered A..., Evh Wolfgang Standard! Options

[Kristofer Dahl]

Background story:

I have drifted more towards playing my shreddy guitars (I have two: my RG and LTD MH-1000) the last year.

I keep switching between my guitars because it inspires to play different things - basically gives me inspiration to practice more. But now I desperately need another shred guitar and I have been drooling at Music Mans for quite a while.

Another new preference of mine are guitars with a narrow neck width. It seems I play most relaxed with my LTD which has a 42 mm nut width. So when I found this guitar as B-stock, it just clicked!

I never tried any type of EVH guitar, and I was a bit worried about tremolo and pickups at this price point. But from what I have read they might be ok. Nut width is 41.3 mm and the neck has a compound radius. I am really excited to try it out.

Here's the deal at Thomann (€509) : https://www.thomann.de/se/evh_wolfgang_stan...uil_b_stock.htm

As long as the guitar sounds good - I am all up for changing the bridge and leveling the frets if needed. I really like the idea of buying cheap / mid range guitars and then have a local luthier customize the last bits to my needs. Premises are good, I really like the following:

* quilted top
* basswood body (will be my first ever)
* oil neck - don't think i have tried that either
* I am sucker for nice looking maple necks
* loud pickups, I don't have any super loud pickups - so as long as its not too much, it should be a nice addition.
* jumbo frets

Exciting stuff!

Btw do you guys know anything else about these guitars, ie where are they produced? I hope build quality will be ok.
