Product Detail
The Wolfgang® WG Standard is a guitar that brings the iconic style and powerful sound created by Eddie Van Halen to the hands of everyday musicians at an affordable price. It offers many high - end features similar to its more expensive counterparts. The basswood body has a special 'comfort cut' forearm contour, making it incredibly easy to play. The bolt - on baked maple neck, reinforced with graphite rods, is resistant to temperature and humidity changes. There's a handy spoke wheel at the neck base for quick truss rod adjustments. 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, ensuring comfortable playability and speed. The dual EVH® Wolfgang humbucking pickups, mounted directly to the body, provide amazing sustain. The black knurled tone and volume control knobs are set to Van Halen's exact specifications, and the 500k pots let you find a unique sound while keeping the bright high - end sparkle. The EVH - branded Floyd Rose® Special bridge and R2 locking nut keep the guitar in tune even during wild whammy use. It's available in Granite Crystal color, with a right - hand orientation and is made in ID. The guitar has a 25.5' scale length, a poplar body with a gloss polyurethane finish, and black hardware. The electronics include direct - mount humbucking pickups, a three - way toggle switch, and volume and tone controls.
Using Your EVH Wolfgang WG Standard Guitar: Plug your guitar into an amplifier using a standard instrument cable. Adjust the volume and tone controls to get your desired sound. You can use the three - way toggle switch to select between different pickup combinations. For more extreme effects, use the Floyd Rose® Special locking tremolo.
Note: When using the tremolo, be careful not to over - bend the strings as it may cause the guitar to go out of tune. Also, don't forget to lock the R2 locking nut properly to keep the strings in place.
Maintenance: Wipe the guitar body with a soft, dry cloth after each use to keep it clean. Regularly check the truss rod adjustment using the spoke wheel at the neck base to ensure the neck remains straight. Keep the guitar in a stable environment to avoid damage from extreme temperature and humidity. Change the strings every few months depending on how often you play. When changing strings, make sure to use the correct gauge (nickel - plated steel.009 -.042). Lubricate the tuning machines and bridge components occasionally to ensure smooth operation.
