Members xbox540 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 18, 2008 ok anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VH5150 Posted July 18, 2008 Members Share Posted July 18, 2008 The standard also has a birdseye neck and the maple cap has a little different tone to it.Other wise same pu's and floyd....oh and the standard has pearl tuning pegs or cream.Specials have chrome.Specials have no tone knob BTW i have a special for sale $750http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v512/VH5150/IMG_7270.jpg?t=1216408804 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members InnerVision Posted July 18, 2008 Members Share Posted July 18, 2008 I think it is mainly the carved pretty top and birdseye neck/board. Just cosmetic stuff..I think.. So, they will probably sound a little different seeing as that the special is a solid basswood body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members InnerVision Posted July 18, 2008 Members Share Posted July 18, 2008 I think the pickups are all the same on the wolfgangs up until a certain year..2004ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one sure looks like a exp korean wich sold new for around $550stay away from that one.Second one that nutbag in mi is asking way too much for that guitar but some dumb ass will buy it and thats why they keep going up and up.New that guitar sold for around $1900.Wait for the new fender wg's they should be out soon.

No birdseye on the specials and the standard with the maple cap sounds a little warmer but not that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members VH5150 Posted July 18, 2008 Members Share Posted July 18, 2008 whats a good fair price for either a special or a standard Specials run from $650 to $1000 depending on the finish.They did make a amber flame special just like the one you want infact i had one and sold it to ren5150he may still have it for sale.Purple flame should be the only one fetching a grand.
