Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Finished in Black, this Wolfgang Special keeps the performance-focused formula intact: a basswood body, graphite-reinforced quartersawn baked maple neck, and direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbuckers. The Black version uses a baked maple fingerboard with a 12–16-inch compound radius and 22 jumbo frets. A three-way selector and master volume/tone controls cover the pickup and level changes, while the Floyd Rose locking tremolo provides pitch control. Its D-Tuna gives you a direct route from standard tuning to Drop D, with a gig bag included.
