The guy listed it as a Korean Special, because I think he confused the flame top with quilt that was used on those. This is one of the USA Wolfgang Special Deluxe's I think. Unlike the other USA special it does actually have a maple cap. It's not carved though, like on the Standards. And it's only 1/4 of an inch as opposed to the 5/8. But it's still sweet.
Question: Did you oil your necks ever? I'm debating on whether I should clean this one up at all. Haven't done much research on it yet, but I know there's two schools of thought with these.
I only oil my necks with a rosewood neck, not maple. I just use polish to clean the necks on my wolfgang when changing strings. The rosewoods will get brittle and crack so its important to oil them up.

Well I have aa dark cherry wolfgang standard with floyd and two stop tails wolfgang standards. I have two Nash's 57 Tele and a 52 Tele with a Lollar Imperial humbucker in the neck position and a special wound pickup for the bridge. I have a George Benson original Ibenez hollow body. Two strats, an Eric Johnson strat and a 1980 American original. I also have 3 Taylor acoustics and Takamine classical acoustic.
They all have their own personality and are great depending on what style Im playing.
