Using your EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic Spalted Maple Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure to tune it up using the EVH - branded tuning machines. You can adjust the sound with the two black knurled control knobs. Turn them to find the tone that suits your playing style. When playing, the 'comfort cut' forearm contour on the basswood body will make it easy to hold the guitar for long periods. The spoke wheel at the base of the neck can be used to make quick truss rod adjustments if needed. For maintenance, keep the guitar in a stable environment to avoid big changes in temperature and humidity, as this could affect the bolt - on baked maple neck. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to keep them in good condition. Also, you can give the body a gentle polish from time to time to maintain its natural finish. When using the whammy bar, be careful not to over - use it as it might cause the strings to go out of tune more quickly, but the EVH - branded Floyd Rose® Special bridge and R2 locking nut should help keep the guitar in tune well.
