Using your EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, if you need to adjust the truss rod, just use the spoke wheel at the base of the neck. It's quick and easy to do. When you play, the special 'comfort cut' on the body will make it feel great in your hands. To get different sounds, play around with the two black knurled control knobs. They're set to Van Halen's specs, so you can find a sound that suits you. For the whammy bar, go wild, but remember the EVH - branded Floyd Rose® Special bridge and R2 locking nut will keep your guitar in tune. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a place with stable temperature and humidity. The graphite - reinforced neck helps it resist changes, but it's still a good idea. Wipe down the strings after each use to keep them in good condition. You can use a soft cloth to clean the body and the fingerboard. When you're not using the guitar, put it in a proper case, and don't forget to take out the tremolo arm and store it safely. Also, check the tuning machines regularly to make sure they're working well. With these tips, your guitar will serve you for a long time.
