Using your EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic Black Walnut Electric Guitar is a joy. First, make sure the guitar is in tune. You can use the EVH - branded tuning machines for this. When you start playing, the special 'comfort cut' forearm contour on the basswood body will make it easy to hold and play for long periods. Adjust the sound using the two black knurled control knobs. Turn them to find your unique tone that suits your playing style. For truss rod adjustments, use the spoke wheel at the base of the neck, but do it gently. When using the whammy bar (EVH - branded Floyd Rose® Special bridge), be careful not to overdo it to keep the guitar in tune. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a stable environment. Avoid extreme temperature and humidity changes as they can affect the baked maple neck. Wipe the guitar with a soft cloth after each use to keep it clean. And don't forget to check the strings regularly. Replace them when they start to sound dull or show signs of wear.
