Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Smoked Mesquite is the finish on this Wolfgang Special, a right-handed double-cut solidbody with an arched basswood body and two direct-mount EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbuckers. Its Wolfgang-profile neck is quartersawn baked maple with graphite reinforcement and a hand-rubbed satin back. The ebony compound-radius fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets support chord work near the nut as well as higher-neck bends. A locking Floyd Rose, D-Tuna, and Gotoh tuners form the tuning and pitch-control system, while the master volume and tone provide straightforward adjustment.

- High-gain rhythm and lead playing with a simple three-way humbucker layout
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
