Cali / Wolfgang Comparison?

[FGJ]

Has anyone owned a USA EVH (Fender) Wolfgang and a USA Cali (not necessarily at the same time) and can give a comparison of, say, quality of build, playability, shape of neck, quality of Floyd, etc? I think we can see the differences aesthetically, so I'm really interested in knowing how they differ from a practical, players point of view. I realize they're different guitars, but since they're both presumably made for rocking and shredding, one would think they must appeal in similar ways.

So can anyone address this? Anyone? Anyone? B.....

Wolfgang is not a patch on a Cali. Build quality is less consistent, they feel a lot shorter (scale length and 22 frets), and don't cut the mix in the same way.

Floyd is an original from what I gather and is very good.

To me they always felt weird, a little crampt and not as natural to play as the Cali which is effortless by comparison.

And aesthetically (I know) they cannot hold a candle to the Cali.

The neck shape on the EVH is awful

Cali fills your hand perfectly

The build quality on the EVH leaves something to be desired too

I was going to buy a USA EVH but was so disappointed in the build I bought a MIJ instead. Sounded like crap too

My Cali was a whole different kettle of fish

Played great, sounded great, don't know why I sold it, I just know I can't afford another one.

We'll, I certainly don't plan on ever trading in my Cali for a Wolfgang. Just wondering how the two compared.

It blows my mind that the EVH can be such a dog compared to what he used to be associated with (AXIS and Wolfgang), where you never heard a peep about poor necks or bad quality.
