As opposite to yours mine came with perfectly crafted neck. In fact the fret work is as good as on $3000 custom guitars. No issues with the neck.
However… the guitar body is made with several blemishes (binding, not so well hidden chips, etc.) and I don’t even want to upgrade it because all these blems make it look very cheap. Of course they don’t jump at you but I know they are there and I know the ‘American QC’ didn’t work out in this case.
This is really disappointing.

you siad you replaced the sustain block, was it a direct replacement? Sterling makes its own licensed version of floyd rose…I was under the impression that the floyd rose blocks were made to fit only real floyd roses.

No I never replaced the veneer, thats just the color between the two pictures. But now I may sell this and go get the Fender EVH wolfgang "special" made in Japan, same as US one except it isnt contoured and that is the only difference.

i've tried a OLP and the AX40 and the OLP was a much better bargain and better built

Did you replace the veneer top too? The tops on those two guitars are NOT the same! I think you might have gotten your pics mixed up?

I actually did this a couple of years ago with the MM OLP1 the guitar was only $125 NEW at GC. It was the predecessor of the the AX I had to go thru 10 of them to find a good one. But it was well worth it I own 4 actual Wolfgangs (Top Shelf Peavy) on of them is even a custom shop. I use my MM OLP the most. It rocks If you can find one BUY IT they are a great deal.

Or do yourself even one cheaper and pick up a used OLP MM1Floyd. Fantastic guitars for the money. Near same specs as the AX and can be had for $200 or less used.

Thanks for the comments guys. I've played this guitar "live" many times on our gigs, palm muting is way better on this than my frankenstart, and overall I am very pleased!

Very cool. I think the Yamaha Pacificas have real potential for upgrades as well, and some of the PRS SE series are awesome as well! Good luck with the axe!
