4.Play the first (E) string open and compare it to the pitch of the same string when it is played at the 12th fret. These notes should sound the same (actually, there is an octave difference).

5.Using a 2.5mm hex wrench for the tremolo or a small, flat blade screwdriver for the fixed bridge, adjust the string saddle so that both the fretted and open notes are the same. If the fretted note is sharper than the open note, the vibrating length of the string must be increased. Move the bridge saddle to the rear–away from the pickups. If the fretted note is flat, the vibrat- ing length must be shortened. Move the bridge saddle forward–toward the pickups–to shorten the length.

It will often be necessary to retune the open Note string to standard pitch after the bridge

position is altered.

6.Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining strings.

7.Repeat steps 1-6 until the intonation of all the strings is accurately adjusted.

Care of your Instrument

The EVH Wolfgang is a high-quality musical instrument constructed from the finest materials, using the most up- to-date production methods. With reasonable care, it should provide many years of service and outstanding playability.

Temperature and Humidity

It is important to protect your instrument from any extreme or sudden changes in temperature or humidity. You should store the instrument in its case when not using it.

Strings

Your instrument is equipped with high-quality Peavey EVH Wolfgang strings. String life may be greatly extended by frequent cleaning with string cleaner. Dirt and perspira- tion tend to build up on the underside of the strings, so it is often necessary to slide a rag between the strings and the fingerboard. Dirt-laden strings cause tuning and into- nation problems, as well as rust and corrosion.
