Dumb question: Wolfgang, Wolfgang special or Wolfgang QT

[siN]

Maybe this is the dumbest question on the board:

What is exactly the difference between a Wolfgang, a Wolfgang Special and a Wolfgang QT.

I saw a Wolfgang QT in a very nice price segment.......

So what's the deal.....

I think its the neck difference..

Standard is the first model made. It has an archtop (like a Les Paul)
Standard has a birdseye maple neck with the headstock titled back.
Special is a guitar with a flat top and often without decorative binding (although not always). It has a hard rock maple neck that has the headstock in line with the neck
The QT is a option availabale on all models, replacing the Floyd Rose-type trem sytem with a stop tail piece (like a Les Paul.)
I could go on for days on the subject, but this is the just of it.

The QT is the korean model, is it not? I think it is.

Mine's a Korean model...sings like a bird. I reckon you should just try a guitar, regardless of where it's made and, if it speaks to you and you can make it talk...it's the one! My prize guitar is a 1986 Squier that cost me £50 at a party 15 years ago...I'd be lost without it. Try em all and pick the one that you feel is best-I'm sure guys who work for Gibson have off days and hangovers!!!!

You are correct about everything except the QT. QT is the Korean made one. ST is the stop tailpiece. There is also a deluxe model as well that is available on specials and standards. Basically it just adds a quilt or flame top to it. [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb1.gif[/img]

Just a clarification...The QT is a Wolfie Special with a Quilted Maple Top. It is basically the same guitar as the special with this really nice looking quit top on it. It also has a faux binding effect around the edge. Its kind of a bridge between your full fledged Wolf Standard and the more stripped down and economical Special.

I own a QT and it is an awesome guitar. It looks like guitars that cost $500 MORE than this one! It plays like a dream and sounds killer. To my knowledge the electronics are the same in all models and the primary difference is in the cosmetics and the arch top of the standard which tends to give a fatter sound.

Incredible guitars!

Ok, thanks for all postings.

In short:
The QT is a cheaper (Korean) made Wolfgang with the same electronics. The tone could be a little less fat...

But for the money it is a nice guitar.....

OK. I know what is coming on my wish list.......
