Tremolo Bridge

The Peavey/Floyd Rose® licensed, double-locking tremolo system features a locking topnut, locking bridge saddles and a steel bridge plate with a massive brass inertia block for maximum tuning stability, sustain and tonal response. This tremolo system has been carefully adjusted for accurate intonation, playing ease and pitch change. To adjust this unit properly, you must first understand the operating prin- ciple. The strings are clamped at the locking topnut and bridge areas, ensuring increased tuning stability during use.

Proper tremolo action is also a result of accurate balancing between string tension and tremolo spring tension. This instrument has been set up at the factory with high-quality Peavey EVH Wolfgang guitar strings. Should you desire a larger or smaller gauge of strings, the spring tension, as well as the intonation, must be adjusted. For string changes, and in case an adjustment needs to be made, read the instruc- tions carefully.

String Retainer Bar (1)

The string retainer bar is used to provide the proper amount of down- ward string pressure over the lock- ing topnut. This should be adjusted only low enough to keep the strings in contact with the surface of the locking topnut, which will prevent the strings from going sharp in pitch after tightening the locking topnut.

EVH Wolfgang specifications

The Peavey EVH Wolfgang is a remarkable electric guitar that has captivated musicians and guitar enthusiasts alike since its inception. Designed in collaboration with legendary rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen, the Wolfgang offers an exceptional blend of performance, playability, and innovative features that cater to both amateur and professional players.

One of the standout features of the Peavey EVH Wolfgang is its unique body shape. The guitar boasts a lightweight, contoured basswood or mahogany body, depending on the specific model, which enhances comfort during long playing sessions. The sleek design not only provides aesthetic appeal but also improves sustain and resonance.

The neck of the Wolfgang is equally impressive. It features a comfortable and fast-playing maple neck, designed to facilitate rapid chord changes and intricate soloing. With a medium profile, the neck strikes the perfect balance between thick and thin, accommodating a variety of playing techniques. The 24 extra-jumbo frets on the rosewood or maple fingerboard allow for effortless bends and clear articulation, making it a favorite among lead guitarists.

In terms of electronics, the Peavey EVH Wolfgang comes equipped with powerful, custom-designed humbucking pickups that deliver a rich, dynamic tone. These pickups are capable of handling the high-gain demands of hard rock and metal while maintaining clarity across the frequency spectrum. The guitar also features a simple yet effective control layout, including a three-way toggle switch and a single volume knob, making it easy for players to dial in their desired sound quickly.

One of the key technologies incorporated into the Wolfgang is the innovative Floyd Rose tremolo system. This licensed Floyd Rose bridge allows for extreme dive bombs and flutters while maintaining perfect tuning stability, a critical feature for expressive playing styles. The guitar also incorporates a locking nut, further enhancing tuning reliability and reducing the chance of string slippage during intense performances.

Aesthetic features of the Peavey EVH Wolfgang include a variety of striking finishes and custom graphics that reflect Eddie Van Halen’s flamboyant style. The combination of striking visuals and high-quality craftsmanship make the Wolfgang not only an impressive instrument in terms of sound but also a head-turner on stage.

In conclusion, the Peavey EVH Wolfgang blends innovative technology, thoughtful design, and exquisite craftsmanship. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, the Wolfgang is a versatile instrument that delivers top-notch performance across various genres, truly embodying the spirit and legacy of Eddie Van Halen.
