How do you know which guitars this code works for? I got an American Jaguar for a great price from Adorama through one of these deals a few years ago that I ended up selling to move and I miss it. Have been keeping my eye out for a similar repeat but usually only see the LPB player strat and tele and a few Jacksons or something. Curious if it's possible this is active on other models or if you have all the secrets haha.

You add to cart then try it? The code works for all kinds of random items from guitars to sound bars. Unfortunately there's no list.

I've got the sangria one. Not a big Floyd guy at all. But this one is dive only so a whole lot easier to setup and change strings, etc. Don't let a Floyd scare you in the least. They're easy. These guitars are farkin great.

Just bought this for my 10-year-old who's getting into guitar. Might be too much, but what a great guitar for a great price. All reviews seem to be very positive. Thanks for posting.

I resisted as long as I could... but I have had this in my cart for like 6 months, or whenever the deal for the Sangria WG Special was posted that was originally posted as purple (but the listing at Adorama was wrong). Since then, I think deals for this color for $750 and $700 have been posted, and I was waiting for under $700. Once this posted I tried to resist until it maybe hit $600... but this is a really good deal, even below all of the recent used Reverb listings. Now I have to start looking for a case that fits this as well as possible... the EVH one is >$200 and from most of the reviews I read it isn't that great, certainly not for that price.

Definitely a great deal! I checked this morning and the promo code is now expired.

These have gone on sale several times in the last year so the deal will probably pop up again in the next couple of months.

I received mine today, and am very happy! I get nervous nor ordering guitars with aesthetic features like quilt tops from anywhere that doesn't have pics of the exact guitar (like Sweetwater) assuming that the dogs go to places that don't do that. If there are functional issues then I am OK with returning it, but not if I just don't like the top, expecting Adorama to cover the return shipping, etc. would feel gross. I am happy to report that not only is the condition perfect (no blemishes, etc.) but I think the QM top is nice as well, better than some I see on Sweetwater. I have attached a pic and have gained a new respect for folks that get good pics of guitar tops, my pic sucks but hopefully the QM can be seen well enough!

I did a basic tune, but my main amp is under a pile of junk so haven't tested it yet, gotta do that to make sure the pickups work, etc. before the return window closes. The setup is high as hell, but it is still warming up after being in a cold truck, so I will wait until it has acclimated to do a real setup, check the neck, frets for buzz, etc. once the action is appropriately low.

I forgot to mention, in my research for cases for this (it comes with nothing), the two EVH OEM options are the $230 hard case with custom cut insert specifically for a Wolfgang (that is reviewed a low quality for the price) and the $110 EVH gig bag. Turns out that the EVH gig bag is a rebadged Fender FE620 gig bag, which I have a couple of and are my fav gig bags, and I am used to them being ~$100, but a few places are selling them for $63, so I ordered one from Sweetwater for this (https://www.sweetwater.com/store/...-bag-black).

I looked for but could not find a hard case that won't cost more than 1/3rd the price of this WG but fits it well (vs. the generic Strat cases I have seen most people use for their WG). I sitll plan on looking for a good hard case and maybe I will end up custom cutting my own insert to get one that fits the WG well (I dunno if that is even "feasible" for a reasonable cost)... but this FE620 should be great in the meantime... and the price was right!
