I had a Peavey Wolfgang years ago and sold it. I’m gonna buy a EVH version. The Standard is cheaper, made in Asia but it has tummy and forearm cuts which I would appreciate as I am usually playing strats. For instance when I do long sessions on one of my LP’s I feel it on my right forearm from the sharp body edge. Standard also has baked maple neck which is a plus IMO. $699 new.

The Special is about $300-$400 more but I am guessing better quality. No forearm
or belly cut and arched top. Also does not have baked maple neck. Does include D-Tuna which Standard does not, but easily added.
Mi don’t know - they have similar specs except what I have mentioned. Finishes are mostly the same as well. $999 new

I guess the cheaper Standard appeals to me more with the forearm and belly cut but I’m concerned it maybe junkie. Anybody with experience on both? Any recommendations?
 
The Special should be made in Mexico since 2012 or so.
