User manual PEAVEY EVH WOLFGANG SPECIAL GUITAR

[. . . ] For as long as I've been playing guitar, I've always been searching for a certain feel and tone. I've experimented by tearing apart and reassembling hundreds of guitars in different ways searching for these qualities. Although I've ruined a lot of great guitars by having done this, I have learned what it takes to make a truly great guitar. The Wolfgang®, after years of trial and error, (for me) is that guitar. [. . . ] Turn the pivot bolts counterclockwise to increase bridge height. The tension of the tremolo bridge is set by adjusting the spring tension screws which hold the spring claw in place. To gain access to the spring tension screws and spring claw, remove the spring cover on the back of the guitar. This will only allow the strings to be dropped below pitch. This also ensures tuning stability when using the D-Tuner or when a string breaks. The instrument is equipped with two springs, which allow proper tension for the string gauge supplied with the guitar. The extra spring is enclosed should you prefer to use a heavier string gauge. Proper tremolo tension is achieved when the bottom of the tremolo bridge plate rests on the top surface of the guitar body without requiring excessive force to depress the tremolo arm. This instrument should be tuned to proper pitch (A-440) before and after making adjustments. If the floating tremolo style is desired, it is recommended that you remove the D-Tuner, as its operation causes a change in string tension that will affect the tuning of the other strings. An extra string lock bolt is enclosed in the case, should the D-Tuner be removed. Extreme care should be taken when installing and removing these springs. The tremolo arm is inserted and screwed into the tremolo arm socket on the bridge plate. This assembly can be adjusted to control the amount of torque required to rotate the tremolo arm. Some players prefer the tremolo arm to stay in place when used. This can be accomplished by using the supplied 12mm wrench to hold the top of the tremolo arm socket while screwing the tremolo arm firmly into place. If you prefer to have the tremolo arm swing freely, loosen the nut on the bottom of the tremolo arm socket. This is accessible through the tremolo spring pocket. Edward prefers an extremely loose feel, allowing approximately one inch of play before the tremolo is actuated. This adjustment accommodates Edward's particular playing style. It allows him to hold onto the tremolo arm while picking without moving the tremolo until needed. Accurate string intonation settings ensure that your instrument will play in tune at any point on the neck. [. . . ] Your instrument has a polyester/urethane finish that is both durable and weather-resistant, but requires care. regular cleaning with Peavey guitar polish is recommended. Between polishes, the instrument should be wiped with a dry, soft cloth. Peavey offers a full line of accessories for your instruments. [. . . ]
