Members The Rover Posted March 12, 2013 Members Share Posted March 12, 2013 EVH Wolfgang Special with Floyd 2013 Gibson SG Standard with 57 CLassics Both guitars are about the same price. I know they are apples and oranges. I just want to know which one this board favors out of curiosity. Thinking about buying one or the other. :catfrustrated: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alecto Posted March 13, 2013 Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 Based on what you've said about your musical style, the SG sounds like a natural fit. I'm not a huge fan of the EVH guitars but Fender's picked up its QC in the past 4 years so that's an argument for the Wolfgang. Put me down for a solid "I don't know." :robottongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BydoEmpire Posted March 13, 2013 Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'd take the SG and have it refretted w/ SS at some point. It's so iconic, and love the tone of an SG. The wolfgang is cool too, though, I definitely wouldn't mind that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BeanoBoy Posted March 13, 2013 Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 Clapton's SG tone with Cream is iconic for me. I'd get the SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noisebloom Posted March 13, 2013 Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 I hated SGs when I was younger. Now I dig 'em.I was into Charvels when I was younger. I still have an affection for them, and for that reason, I like everything about the Wolfie except the body shape. It's just a bastardization of the earlier Ernie Ball and Peavey body types, which IMO were superior to this one (although flawed themselves). I do give them credit for their finishes and the archtops, which look very nice. The matte black finish with the Les Paul-like binding looks great to me.The main thing I don't like about the Wolfie bodies is how far back the playing position is. There's no place for my forearm to sit, so it feels wrong. I like a lot of wood in back of the bridge, and I like the playing position of the SG. Makes more sense to me.I prefer the SG, although in the 80s I wouldn't get caught dead saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Patuney Posted March 13, 2013 Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 SG, just because 57 classics are my favorite pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slvrsrpnt Posted March 13, 2013 Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 of those two, the SG. I'm not a floyd fan, although I do love the look of a maple fretboard! The hardtail of the SG wins out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
