I just purchased an EVH Wolfgang Stealth and I must say I'm disappointed. I'm aware that there is already a post on this issue but I'd like to raise attention to it again.

The D-tuna has no tab under the hex screw to support it, meaning when I use the whammy bar. the D-Tuna pops out by itself (and flips upside down so it's hard to recover). I've brought the guitar back to my store. they called Fender with the issue and and I guess Fender didn't understand the problem because they sent me a replacement D-Tuna which was not what I asked for, called again and then they sent a replacement guitar only to have the same missing tab.

The store then called Fender again and someone at Fender explained that the guitars are built this way to fix a previous problem people have been having with the D-Tuna not fitting back under the bridge properly in the E position, yet I can't use the whammy bar without the D-Tuna popping out and screwing up my entire performance. Fender will not take the guitars back and said all Wolfgang guitars will be built this way.

I also own a Peavey HP Special (which is pretty much the same guitar) which I've added a D-Tuna to with all 6 tabs under the bridge and have had no problems to date. How is the Wolfgang different, why is this tab under the D-Tuna such a big issue and why is every Wolfgang being built with this intentional defect?

$4000 for this guitar. You'd think it could at least support a D-Tuna.
