Introduction For as long as I’ve been playing guitar, I’ve always been searching for a certain feel and tone...I’ve experi- mented 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. Based on the familylike atmosphere, their commit- ment to quality an

String Intonation Accurate string intonation set- tings ensure that your instrument will play in tune at any point on the neck. Although “perfect into- nation” is an impossibility with a fretted instrument, the proper adjustments will maximize the accuracy of individual notes up and down the neck. Intonation is set by comparing the pitch of an open string to the pitch of the same string when played one octave higher at the 12th fret. The actual “vibrating length” of that string is varied until

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 bridg
