If you want a lighter guitar, this is preferable over a Charvel. These can arrive as light as 7lbs 10oz. Many Charvels these days with a Floyd are a full pound heavier. Obviously, YMMV. Adorama still has a deal on FR Charvels at $649.
YouTuber Cameron Cooper did a comparison between the Wolfgang and the 5150, and the Charvel San Dimas and the 5150. Worth a view.
I took the Adorama deal on the Pharaoh's Gold Wolfgang Special. It came before this deal went live, but I would've done it anyway. I like the features of the Wolfgang, and I'd prefer a Charvel over the 5150 for the better finish options and the Strat-style headstock over the hockey stick.
Still, this is a good deal if you prefer a Strat body over the Wolfgang maple leaf design. The pickups are the same for that EVH tone. I'm not a fan of the red button kill switch, but it's a plus over the WG Specials if you need it.

An Original FR is $250-300. It's a drop in. Save a ton of money and buy an MiM if that's the goal.
