The Wolfgang® WG Standard Exotic brings the iconic style and powerful sound of Eddie Van Halen. It offers new exotic wood choices for players with refined taste. Just like its costlier counterparts, it has a basswood body with a 'comfort cut' forearm contour for easy playing, natural body binding, and a bold ziricote top. The one - piece bolt - on baked maple neck with graphite rods resists temperature and humidity changes. A spoke wheel at the neck base allows for quick truss rod adjustments. The guitar features an oiled neck back, a 12” - 16” compound radius baked maple fingerboard with rolled edges, 22 jumbo frets, and black dot inlays for comfortable play and speed. Dual EVH® Wolfgang humbucking pickups directly mounted to the body enhance vibration transfer, providing long - lasting sustain. Two domed control knobs, set to Van Halen's specs, help you find a unique sound while keeping the high - end sparkle. The EVH - branded Floyd Rose® Special bridge and R2 locking nut keep the guitar in tune during extreme whammy use. It also has a black headstock and black chrome hardware.

Using your EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, plug it into your amplifier and start strumming. The two control knobs let you adjust the sound to your liking. You can easily find the tone that suits your style. When using the whammy bar, the Floyd Rose bridge and locking nut will keep your guitar in tune, so you can go wild with those big dives. For maintenance, wipe down the strings after each use with a clean cloth to keep them in good condition. Check the truss rod regularly using the spoke wheel at the base of the neck to make sure the neck is straight. Keep your guitar in a stable environment, away from extreme temperature and humidity changes, as the graphite - reinforced neck is strong but still sensitive to these conditions. If you need to change the strings, use the EVH - branded tuning machines to get the right tension. And remember, this guitar is built to last, so take good care of it and it'll serve you well for years to come.
