The Wolfgang® WG Standard offers the same iconic style and powerful sound crafted by Eddie Van Halen, all at an affordable price for everyday musicians. This guitar shares many top - notch features with its pricier counterparts. It has a basswood body with a special 'comfort cut' forearm contour, ensuring maximum playing comfort. The bolt - on baked maple neck, reinforced with graphite rods, stands up well to temperature and humidity changes. A conveniently placed spoke wheel at the neck base allows for quick and easy truss rod adjustments. For comfortable playability and high - speed performance, the guitar features an oiled finish on the back of the neck and a 12' - 16' compound radius baked maple fingerboard with rolled edges, 22 jumbo frets, and black dot inlays. The dual EVH® Wolfgang humbucking pickups, directly mounted to the body, enhance vibration transfer, delivering long - lasting sustain. The black knurled tone and volume control knobs are set to Van Halen's precise specifications. The smooth 500k pots make it a breeze to find a unique sound while keeping the crisp high - end sparkle of the Wolfgang pickups. The EVH - branded Floyd Rose® Special bridge and R2 locking nut keep the guitar in tune even during extreme whammy use.

Using your EVH Wolfgang WG Standard Electric Guitar is a joy. To start, just plug it into your amplifier using a guitar cable. Adjust the volume and tone knobs to get the sound you like. The spoke wheel at the base of the neck can be used to make truss rod adjustments if you feel the neck needs it. When using the whammy bar (tremolo arm), do it gently at first to get used to how it affects the tuning. The EVH - branded Floyd Rose® Special bridge and R2 locking nut are designed to keep the guitar in tune, but try not to go too extreme with the whammy bar right away. For maintenance, keep your guitar in a case when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull or look worn. You can also clean the frets with a fret cleaner to keep them in good condition. And don't forget to store your guitar in a place with stable temperature and humidity to avoid any damage to the neck or body.
