Originally, I was just looking for a budget-friendly guitar with humbuckers to play occasionally. However, the WG Standard has completely exceeded my expectations. The pickups are outstanding, delivering a versatile range of tones that suit various playing styles. Personally, I found it more comfortable and better-sounding than any of the Epiphone LPs or Fender HH Teles I've tried.
The only flaw I can point out is the tuners. They're not as smooth as I'd like. That said, I haven't experienced any issues with tuning so far. I might consider upgrading them in the future once I figure out what would be compatible.
I was able to price match at GC via chat and use a gift card I had.
I ended up buying a second one, and while it works fine, the fretboard has several deep, wide scratches. At this point, I assume most of these are B-stock for one reason or another.
So my advice to anyone buying would be: don't even peel off the protective plastic or stickers until you've thoroughly tested everything. And be sure to photograph each step of the unpacking process for your records.

Also, I don't know why this is, but the Granite Crystal WG [evhgear.com] is the most expensive solid color standard in terms of MSRP ($1040 vs $699/$749). It also lists the GC color as having a poplar body instead of basswood.
I contacted customer support about the wood and MSRP differences and they said "The body wood on the Granite Crystal model is indeed poplar. We are unable to publicly discuss our pricing strategies. " and also "other than the finish and body wood, all other specs will be the same. "
I have no clue why this color is different or if there's any benefit to poplar, but I figured I'd pass it along.
EDIT: 5/2/25 - Received the guitar today and it's fantastic. Super easy to play and the neck is superb. The guitar arrived double-boxed and seemed well packaged. The only adjustments I did was drop the bridge to lower the action a bit, which was simple enough to do. Fit and finish are flawless, and the granite color has more sparkle to it in person than the pictures show. Overall, very pleased with this guitar and for the price!
