Introduction For as long as I’ve been playing guitar, I’ve always been searching for a certain feel and tone...I’ve experimented by tearing apart and reassem- bling 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 commitment to quality an

Volume (2) The volume knob controls the total signal delivered from both pickups. Rotating clockwise will increase volume; rotating counterclockwise will reduce vol- ume. Output Jack (3) The output jack accepts standard guitar patch cords. (We recommend high-quality Peavey “shielded” patch cords.)

4. Clearance should be no less than .005" and no more than .015". 5. To increase clearance‚ loosen (counterclock- wise) the torsion rod adjustment wheel. Less clearance (straightening of the neck) is accomplished by tightening (clockwise) the torsion rod adjustment wheel. 6. Retune the instrument and repeat steps 1-5 until proper clearance has been achieved.

String Installation After loosening topnut screws (at headstock), use tuning machines to remove string tension. Loosen string lock bolts at bridge approximately three turns using the 3mm hex wrench. Insert string end through tuning machines and locking topnut. Cut off excess string length approxi- mately one inch past string of lock bolts. I

4. Using the tuning machine, stretch and retune the low-E string to “D.” Then, tighten the locking topnut screw and fine tune the “D” using the fine-tuning adjustment screw. 5. Slide the D-Tuner forward (toward the bridge) while applying slight downward pressure. The D-Tuner will now be in the “E” position. The fine-tuning screw will now be positioned on the top, flat surface of the D-Tuner. 6. Check the tuning of the low-E string. 7. If the low-E string is out of tune, use the supplied 1.

Per Edward’s specification, the tremo- lo system is adjusted to rest on the body surface for maximum sustain and tonality. This will only allow the strings to be dropped below pitch. This also ensures tuning stability when using the D-Tuner or when a string breaks. The instrument is equipped with two springs, which allow proper tension for the string gauge supplied with the guitar. The extra spring is enclosed should you prefer to use a heavier string gauge. Proper tremolo tension is achieved wh

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. String Intonation Accurate string intonation settings ensure tha

A harmonic is played by plucking the string with the right hand while touching the string with the left index finger (as lightly as possible) directly above the 12th fret. The left fin- ger is drawn away as quickly as possible after the string is plucked, producing a ÒchimeÓ effect. This chimed note is then compared to the fretted note. For greater ease and accuracy, we recommend one of the many types of elec- tronic guitar tuners that are available from most music stores. 1. Ensure that the tor
