Using your EVH Striped Series Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, tune your guitar using the EVH - branded Gotoh® tuning machines. You can adjust the neck relief easily with the thumbwheel truss rod adjustment wheel if needed. The single skirted Strat - style volume control knob (labeled 'tone') helps you control the sound. Just turn it to change the volume, and the treble bleed circuit keeps the high - end tones clear. When it comes to playing, the 22 jumbo frets on the maple fingerboard make it easy to reach different notes. As for the Floyd Rose® locking tremolo, it gives you the ability to create cool pitch - bending effects. Just pull or push the tremolo arm gently. Now, for some important notes. When you're not using the guitar, store it in a proper guitar case to protect it from dust, humidity, and physical damage. Keep the strings clean by wiping them with a soft cloth after each use. This will also help prevent rust. Every few months, you might want to clean the hardware with a suitable metal cleaner to keep that chrome shine. And don't forget to change the strings regularly, about every 3 - 4 months depending on how often you play. That way, your guitar will always sound its best and last you a long time.
