This is not a Wolfgang Standard or one of the later Mexican-made Specials. Between the deeply quilted top, birdseye maple fretboard, and matching headstock, it's a particularly interesting version of the Wolfgang.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Black Cherry Burst finish is impressive on this example. The quilt has a deep, almost three-dimensional appearance, with bright red figuring running across the flat top before fading into nearly black edges. Cream body binding outlines the shape, while the matching headstock and black-and-cream zebra pickups tie everything together. The figuring on the birdseye maple fretboard is another detail worth looking at closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese early Chinese-made Specials followed the Japanese production run and retained several features that would change on later models. Construction includes a basswood body with a flat quilted maple veneer top, a quartersawn maple neck with graphite reinforcement, and a 12\"–16\" compound-radius birdseye maple fretboard. The 22 vintage-style stainless steel frets are another notable difference from the jumbo nickel frets used on later Specials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHardware includes EVH-branded Gotoh tuners with pearloid buttons and an EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo with D-Tuna for switching between standard and drop-D tuning. The dual direct-mounted EVH Wolfgang humbuckers have the cream-and-black zebra appearance associated with this production period, along with the straightforward three-way selector, master volume, and master tone layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is in \u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003efantastic cosmetic condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, especially considering its age. It's been kept remarkably clean, with little to no noticeable blemishes. The glossy finish presents beautifully, and the quilted top has retained its depth and clarity. The natural maple neck and birdseye fretboard also look very clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded is an EVH molded hardshell case with a red plush interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat stood out to me:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Harder-to-find 2012–2013-era Chinese-made Wolfgang Special\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Deeply figured Black Cherry Burst quilted top with matching headstock\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Birdseye maple fretboard with attractive figuring throughout\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Quartersawn maple neck with graphite reinforcement and satin finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• 22 vintage-style stainless steel frets and 12\"–16\" compound radius\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo with D-Tuna\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• EVH Gotoh tuners with pearloid buttons and zebra humbuckers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Exceptionally clean cosmetic presentation for its age, with EVH hardshell case\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe photos shown are real photographs of this exact guitar.
