The reimagined 5150® Series Deluxe electric guitar is engineered for high - speed play, ultimate comfort, and a full - throttle attitude. It combines throwback charm with modern features. The 5150 Deluxe Poplar Burl has a modified Strat® - style basswood body with a deeper upper body curve, just like its predecessor. The graphite - reinforced bolt - on quartersawn maple neck offers a comfortable modified “C” profile, a hand - rubbed satin urethane back finish, a heel - mount truss rod adjustment wheel, and a color - matched “hockey stick” headstock with an EVH® logo decal. The 12” - 16” compound radius ebony fingerboard, with 22 jumbo frets and cream dot inlays, ensures smooth and speedy play. Unlike the original striped version with a single humbucking bridge pickup, the new 5150 Deluxe has an HH pickup configuration controlled by a three - way toggle. The custom EVH® Wolfgang® Alnico 2 humbucking bridge pickup provides the right amount of punch, articulation, sweet sustain, and thick rhythms with a balanced EQ. The neck pickup offers powerful overdrive and long - lasting sustain, and clear cleans when the volume is down. A custom low - friction volume knob gives even - volume tapering for smooth volume swells, and the high - friction tone knob stays in place. There's also a lower bout kill switch for special effects. It comes with a “navy - bomb” certified EVH - branded top - mount Floyd Rose® bridge with fine - tuners for each string and a patented EVH D - Tuna® for quick tuning changes. Wrapped in Aqua Burst or Black Burst with a poplar burl top and all - chrome hardware including EVH - branded Gotoh® tuning machines, this guitar is a modern take on a classic and is sure to impress.

Using your EVH 5150 Series Deluxe Poplar Burl Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure to tune it using the EVH - branded Gotoh® tuning machines. You can quickly switch between drop - D and standard tuning with the EVH D - Tuna® on the bridge. When you're ready to play, adjust the volume and tone using the low - friction volume knob and high - friction tone knob. The three - way toggle switch allows you to choose between different pickup configurations. If you want to create stuttering or rhythmic effects, use the lower bout kill switch. For maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and cool place. Wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dirt. Occasionally, lubricate the moving parts of the Floyd Rose® bridge to ensure smooth operation. When changing strings, use the EVH® Nickel Plated Steel strings of the recommended gauges (.009 - .042). And don't forget to check the truss rod adjustment wheel if you notice any issues with the neck curvature. If you have any problems, refer to the user manual that comes with the guitar.
