Probably one of the better built guitars of the over 30 I have purchased recently. Silver Sparkle is not too silvery but rather a dingy, aged silver sparkle; just right. Fit and finish is exceptional. The neck is about as good as it gets. No fret sprout or buzz. Setup is close out of the box but you may need to tweek it, as usual. It's so nice I bought a second one in a different finish. Both are awesome.

Thanks Eddie, you built a mean street guitar.

Wonderful playing guitar; a true spoiler.

The Wolfgang WG Standard QM boasts the same style and massive sound Eddie Van Halen created, at a price the everyday musician can afford. Offering many of the blazing features as its more expensive brethren, the Wolfgang WG Standard QM features a basswood body with special "comfort cut" forearm contour for maximum playing ease, along with attractive masked-off natural body binding and an elegant quilt maple top.
Its one-piece bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement rods hold strong against the ravages of temperature and humidity, while a conveniently located spoke wheel at the base of the neck makes for quick and painless truss rod adjustments. Designed for comfortable playability and speed, the WG Standard also features an oiled neck back finish and a 12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard with rolled edges, 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays.
Dual EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickups mounted directly to the body increase vibration transfer, resulting in sustain for days on end. Two domed control knobs have been dialed-in to Van Halen's exacting specifications - the smooth-feeling 500k pots make it easy to find a unique sound while retaining the crisp high-end sparkle of the Wolfgang pickups. The EVH-branded Floyd Rose Special bridge and R2 locking nut consistently keep the instrument in tune through the deepest whammy dives and horse whinnies. Tested where it counts - live onstage-the Wolfgang WG Standard QM is decked out for playing performance and comfort and is available in Cherry Sunburst or Zilla Burst with a black headstock and black chrome hardware.
