I was gonna avoid EVH since you said the Wolfgang was already considered but I forgot about their Baretta clone with the 5150

Jackson SL1X models are top mount and affordable. The EVH Wolfgang standard is probably best bang for buck tho. I snagged one not long ago and have had a hard time putting it down. Unreal guitar for the money, no immediate mods necessary except a d-tuna in your case

Nah nah, you did good!I was gonna avoid EVH since you said the Wolfgang was already considered but I forgot about their Baretta clone with the 5150
It's a good suggestion, and a cool instrument, love the pot knobs and the killswitch (while Pups selector position on a superstat is very annoying and anti-tapping, but if it works for EVH, I'm the problem)
And yes, the Baretta too...I was looking for the Sabo Snake one, but it seems that here in EU it's not available anymore

These LTD M1 Customs are sick. I had a red one for a while and wish I would've kept it around. I was worried I wouldn't get on with the top mount Floyd but I had no issues with it. Added some noiseless springs and it was an epic axe.

The EVHs feature Floyd Rose Specials though? Probably matters less if top mount and not trem wanking, but bummer.
I forgot one - I don't know how hard it is to get the FU Tone guitars in the EU, but they're extremely good guitars for the money:
Surveyor 777
I measure things
It depends. My Wolfgang Standard has an EVH "Floyd Rose" Special trem. My Wolfgang Special has a "regular" EVH Floyd - I'm guessing it's the equivalent to a Floyd Rose 1000?
I only looked at one 5150 series guitar but the specs did not say "Special", so I'm assuming it's the same trem as on my Wolfgang Special (so a 1000 series equivalent?).
Problem is - there are too many "specials" being thrown around - trem versus guitar model.
If interested, go to the EVH site and look at the specs for each model.
KInda hard to plan your gigging around whenever they finish their runs, so they're really kind of like ordering customs. You can order Jackson USA Selects with topmounts, too, but the timeline is long...
Badlands is doing cool stuff, just not in a readily available fashion. I mean, you could buy one of these from Sweetwater:
But only two, at most, and they're not exactly "reasonably priced".
Fuck that is hot! What's up with the dummy thicc headstock though?KInda hard to plan your gigging around whenever they finish their runs, so they're really kind of like ordering customs. You can order Jackson USA Selects with topmounts, too, but the timeline is long...

I had one of the originals from 1990 - that's just how the headstock was.
They do seem kind of inconsistent with their pointy inline headstock. I've seen oversized CBS looking versions like this one and then slimmer normal size looking ones like on the couple of BCRs I had with that headstock. Then there was a version in the 80s or early 90s that was like this one was stretched out to be as pointy harpoon looking as possible.I had one of the originals from 1990 - that's just how the headstock was.

Hmmm...the Charvel Satchel is top mounted too
Did they made it in pink too, right?
