The EVH Wolfgang® Standard brings you the same iconic style and powerful sound crafted by Eddie Van Halen, all at an affordable price for everyday musicians. Just like its high - end counterparts, it comes with a basswood body featuring a special 'comfort cut' forearm contour, making it super easy to play. The bolt - on baked maple neck, reinforced with graphite rods, stands up well to temperature and humidity changes. And with a spoke wheel at the neck base, adjusting the truss rod is a breeze. The guitar is designed for comfort and speed, with an oiled finish on the neck back, a 12' - 16' compound radius baked maple fingerboard with rolled edges, 22 jumbo frets, and black dot inlays. The dual EVH® Wolfgang humbucking pickups, directly mounted to the body, enhance vibration transfer and offer amazing sustain. The black knurled tone and volume control knobs, set to Van Halen's precise specs, along with smooth 500k pots, let you find your unique sound while keeping the pickups' bright high - end sparkle. The EVH - branded Floyd Rose® Special bridge and R2 locking nut keep the guitar in tune even during wild whammy use. Specifications include a Wolfgang® body shape, basswood body material, gloss urethane finish, Wolfgang® backshape neck profile, baked maple fretboard, 12' - 16' compound radius fretboard, 25.5' scale length, 22 jumbo frets, black dot fretboard inlays, direct - mount EVH® Wolfgang® humbucking pickups, EVH® - branded Floyd Rose® Special locking tremolo bridge, nickel - plated steel strings, EVH® - branded tuning machines, black hardware finish, and it comes with a tremolo arm, hex keys, and a user manual.
Using your EVH Wolfgang Standard Electric Guitar is a joy. When you start playing, hold the guitar with the forearm contour providing great comfort. Adjust the truss rod with the spoke wheel at the base of the neck if you notice any issues with the neck's straightness. To get different sounds, play around with the black knurled tone and volume control knobs. For tuning, use the EVH - branded tuning machines. When using the whammy bar on the EVH - branded Floyd Rose® Special bridge, be gentle at first to avoid going out of tune. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a stable environment to prevent damage from extreme temperature and humidity. Wipe the body with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dirt. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull. Also, lubricate the bridge and nut occasionally to keep them working smoothly. And always refer to the user manual for more detailed instructions.
