The EVH - branded Floyd Rose® locking trem and locking nut ensure precise tuning even with extreme pitch changes, and the EVH D - Tuna® allows for accurate drop - D retuning. The volume knob with a treble bleed circuit has a 500K EVH Bourns® low - friction pot for smooth swells, and the tone control knob with a 250K Bourns high - friction pot prevents accidental tone shifts.

Using your EVH Wolfgang Special Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure your guitar is properly tuned. You can use the EVH - branded Gotoh® tuning machines for this. The EVH D - Tuna® is great if you want to quickly switch to drop - D tuning. When playing, the smooth hand - rubbed satin urethane finish on the neck makes it easy to move your fingers up and down. The EVH® Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking pickups will give you a rich, powerful sound whether you're playing chords or leads. For adjustments, the spoke wheel at the base of the neck makes it simple to adjust the truss rod. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe down the strings after each use to keep them clean and in good condition. The hardware, which has a chrome finish, can be polished occasionally to keep it looking shiny. Also, be careful when using the EVH - branded Floyd Rose® locking trem, as extreme pitch changes can put stress on the guitar, so make sure it's properly adjusted.
