A lot of knowledgable people on this board.. I have done many forum searches all over the web and I'm having trouble understanding all the different wolfgang specs thru the years and I wanted to nail them down.

Thing that is most confusing to me is the neck contours?? I'm looking to purchase a neck from USACG and I'm not sure how similar their EBMM neck contour is to these different wolfgang models? Were all the wolfgangs ever made all asymmetrical contours?
