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
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.
