Using this EVH Wolfgang Special QM Electric Guitar is a joy. To start playing, tune your guitar using the EVH - branded Gotoh® tuning machines. The EVH D - Tuna® is a great feature for quickly switching to drop - D tuning. When you play, the custom - designed pickups will give you rich tones. You can adjust the volume and tone using the respective knobs. For the volume, the treble bleed circuit will help you get smooth swells. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and clean place. Wipe it down after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull or look worn. The truss rod adjustment can be done easily using the spoke wheel at the base of the neck, but if you're not sure, it's best to consult a professional. Also, be careful when using the Floyd Rose® locking trem. Make sure to lock the nut properly to keep your guitar in tune, especially when making big pitch changes.
