There are a couple things that have been bugging me about the Wolfgang. For one, I find the neck to be too narrow. After playing my Hamer with it's Gibson nut width and scale length, I've determined that 1 5/8 necks are just too narrow for me to play rhythm comfortably. Second, basswood is much too soft. I'm having trouble with screw holes stripping, even with normal use. It's lightweight and it sounds good, but it lacks the durability of alder or mahogany. Third, swapping pickups in and out is a bitch, because I have to round off the mounting tabs and drill out the mounting holes. That pretty much destroys the resale value. And most of all, I can't get the action set properly without shimming the neck and the nut. I don't think you should have to do that on a guitar that retails for over $1000. That's why I was asking about recessed Floyds, the action on my Wolfgang is much too high with the Floyd set parallel to the body. No matter how I set the Floyd, the action higher on the neck is too high unless I shim the neck. The problem is that this guitar was designed 100% to Eddie's specs, and it's meant to be played exactly like Eddie plays it. Eddie uses 9-40 gauge strings, so the higher action is necessary to avoid buzzing. But if you want to use 10's or 11's, your going to have to do some major ghetto rigging to make it work.
