Using this EVH Wolfgang Special QM Electric Guitar is a joy. When you start playing, just plug it in and adjust the volume and tone knobs to get the sound you want. The EVH D - Tuna® is super handy if you want to switch to drop - D tuning. Just give it a little flick. For note - bending and crazy riffs, the EVH - branded Floyd Rose® locking trem and locking nut keep the guitar in tune. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe down the strings and body with a soft cloth to keep it clean. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity as it can damage the wood and electronics. If you need to adjust the truss rod, use the spoke wheel at the base of the neck, but do it gently. Also, check the tuning machines regularly to make sure they're working smoothly. When storing the guitar, use a proper guitar case to protect it from bumps and scratches.
