I would expect a set neck, as both the original Irwin guitars and the Alembic Tribute are set neck.


Eastwood is doing a Wolf copy, though with a 25” scale.

That's not a replica.


Now THIS is a replica. I bought this breathtaking Wolf replica from Bob Fishman over on the RU Kind forum. He is one of the most gifted luthiers I've ever come across...not to mention the nicest guy you could ever hope to deal with.
