CAUTION: Loosen all string tension before installing or
removing tension springs. Tremolo springs are designed
for high tension. Extreme care should be taken when
installing and removing these springs.
Tremolo Arm
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.
Fixed-Bridge Assembly
The fixed-bridge assembly on the EVH Wolfgang features a
recessed, low-profile design. This allows string height from
the body to be consistent with the tremolo bridge version
of the guitar. The height of the classic tune-o-matic style
bridge may be adjusted by using the supplied 2.5mm hex
wrench.
To decrease bridge height, turn the bridge height screws
clockwise. To increase bridge height, turn the bridge
height screws counterclockwise. The stop tailpiece may
also be adjusted to increase or decrease string tension
across the bridge. Lowering the tailpiece (turning screw
clockwise) will increase the string tension, while raising
the tailpiece (turning screw counterclockwise) will
decrease the string tension.
