Using this EVH Wolfgang Standard Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the EVH - branded tuning machines. You can easily adjust the truss rod with the spoke wheel at the base of the neck if needed. When playing, the 'comfort cut' forearm contour on the basswood body will make holding the guitar comfortable for long periods. The dual EVH® Wolfgang humbucking pickups give great sound, and you can use the two black knurled control knobs to customize your tone. For whammy bar action, the EVH - branded Floyd Rose® Special bridge and R2 locking nut will keep your guitar in tune. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a stable environment to avoid extreme temperature and humidity changes, as these can affect the neck. Wipe down the strings after each use to prevent corrosion. And occasionally, you can clean the body with a soft cloth to keep the gloss finish looking great.
