The reimagined 5150® Series Deluxe electric guitar is engineered for speed, comfort, and a full - throttle attitude. It's a blend of throwback and modern features, a true iconic piece from the past. Like its predecessor, the Limited Edition 5150 Deluxe Ash has a modified Strat® - style body with a deeper upper body curve. The ash body pairs perfectly with a graphite - reinforced bolt - on quartersawn maple neck. This neck has a comfortable modified 'C' profile, a hand - rubbed satin urethane back finish, a heel - mount truss rod adjustment wheel, and a 'hockey stick' headstock with an EVH® logo decal. The 12' - 16' compound radius ebony fingerboard, with 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays, offers smooth and speedy playability. The original striped version had just a single humbucking bridge pickup, but the all - new 5150 Deluxe comes with a dual humbucking setup. It's controlled by a three - way toggle on the upper bout. The custom - designed EVH® Wolfgang® Alnico 2 humbucking bridge pickup gives the right amount of punch, great articulation, sweet sustain, and thick rhythms with a well - balanced EQ. The EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 humbucking neck pickup provides powerful overdrive and long - lasting sustain, and clean tones when you roll down the volume. A custom - designed low - friction volume knob ensures smooth volume swells, while the high - friction tone knob stays in place even if bumped. There's also a lower bout kill switch for stutter and rhythmic effects. The guitar is equipped with a 'nave - bomb' certified EVH - branded top - mount Floyd Rose® bridge. The locking tailpiece has fine tuners for each string and a patented EVH D - Tuna® for quick switch between drop - D and standard tuning. With a Natural stain finish and all - chrome hardware, including EVH - branded Gotoh® tuning machines, the Limited Edition 5150 Deluxe Ash is a symbol of elegance.

Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures and humidity as it can damage the wood and affect the electronics. When not in use, keep it in a guitar case.
