I bought a Pharoah's Gold model last year from Adorama at this price. Had to send it back due to a non-working pickup. Was an easy return, but it made me wonder if these rock bottom prices are from b-stock guitars or I just got a bad one.

I think it speaks less to Adorama and more to WG QC. My buddy has multiple that had issues from other sellers.

I've got the sangria from Adorama. Was excellent. Also have this in surf green with a kill switch installed. Also a bargain.

Excellent deal. Two things to note, first the neck shape. It's smaller than you think if you've never played one in person. The scale length is standard but the neck is small compared to most other guitars. Seconds, the pickups. They're fine, but not the same as the EVH Frankenstein pickups that everyone loves. Just fyi. I have one and have not bonded with it at all.

I wanted to define "small" for players who haven't tried a Wolfgang. First, the nut width is narrower than the 5150 Series or a Charvel. It's 1.625" vs. 1.685". It can feel cramped like a Fender for the Japanese market, although I don't mind it. And the short scale look is due to the neck being sunk into the body more which can feel weird. It's not for purists, but it is usually light and easy to play. With so many guitars out there, I would not buy one because it's $599, but if a player was curious, because these are all over the used market at low prices, so you won't sell it for much if you don't like it.
