Using your EVH Striped Series Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the EVH - branded tuners. You can easily adjust the neck relief with the thumbwheel truss rod adjustment wheel. When you're ready to play, use the single skirted Strat - style volume control knob (labeled 'tone') to adjust the sound. The treble bleed circuit in the control knob helps keep the high - end tones clear. For maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe down the strings after each use with a soft cloth to remove sweat and dirt. If you want to change the strings, you can use the Floyd Rose® locking nut and retainer bar for a secure fit. And remember, when you're not using the tremolo arm, you can remove it to prevent accidental damage. Just enjoy your playing and keep this amazing guitar in great shape!
