The Wolfgang® WG Standard offers the iconic style and powerful sound Eddie Van Halen created at an affordable price for everyday musicians.

Dual EVH® Wolfgang humbucking pickups directly mounted to the body provide amazing sustain. The black knurled tone and volume control knobs, set to Van Halen's specs, let you find a unique sound while keeping the pickups' crisp high - end sparkle. The EVH - branded Floyd Rose® Special bridge and R2 locking nut keep the guitar in tune during wild whammy moves. Available in Gold Sparkle with a black headstock and black hardware. It has a 25.5” scale length, and comes in battleship gray, right - hand orientation, and is made in ID.

Using this EVH Wolfgang WG Standard Electric Guitar is a breeze. When you first get it, tune it up using the EVH - branded tuning machines. The 3 - position toggle switch gives you different pickup combinations. Position 1 is for the bridge pickup, position 2 uses both bridge and neck pickups, and position 3 is for the neck pickup. Adjust the volume and tone using the black plastic knobs. For the best sound, experiment with different settings. When it comes to playing, the 'comfort cut' forearm contour on the basswood body makes long - term playing comfortable. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place to avoid damage from humidity. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to keep the gloss polyurethane body finish looking good. If you need to adjust the truss rod, use the spoke wheel at the base of the neck, but do it carefully. And always use the correct gauge of nickel - plated steel strings (0.009 - 0.042) to keep the guitar in good working order.
