The limited edition EVH Star electric guitar offers a modern take on one of the guitars Eddie Van Halen used to create the early Van Halen sound. With a basswood body and a single EVH Wolfgang humbucker, it delivers resonant tone, great sustain, and a crunchy sound. The momentary kill switch lets you create cool stutter effects. Its comfortable maple neck and fast - playing ebony compound - radius fingerboard make it a breeze to play pummeling riffs or lightning - fast licks. The top - mounted Floyd Rose tremolo with D Tuna provides massive sustain and allows you to quickly shift to Drop D tuning. This guitar is full of classic Van Halen vibes and offers a killer tone along with lightning - fast playability. Specifications include a star - shaped basswood body with a matte finish, an EVH® Modified 'C' backshape neck, an ebony fretboard with a 12' - 16' compound radius, 22 jumbo frets, cream dot inlays, an EVH® Wolfgang® Humbucking pickup at the bridge, an EVH® - Branded Floyd Rose® Locking Tremolo with EVH® D - Tuna®, EVH® Nickel Plated Steel strings (.009 -.042 gauges), EVH® - Branded Gotoh® tuning machines, black hardware finish, and an EVH® Star/Shark Economy Gig Bag.
Using your EVH Star Electric Guitar is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier, and you're ready to start playing. To create those cool stutter effects, press the momentary kill switch while strumming. When you want to change to Drop D tuning, use the D Tuna feature on the Floyd Rose tremolo. For regular use, keep your guitar in a stable environment. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity as they can damage the wood and affect the tuning. Clean your guitar regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. After playing, loosen the strings slightly to relieve stress on the neck. When it comes to maintenance, have your guitar professionally set up at least once a year. This includes adjusting the action, intonation, and making sure the frets are smooth. If you notice any loose parts or unusual noises, get them checked out right away. And always store your guitar in the provided EVH® Star/Shark Economy Gig Bag when not in use to protect it from scratches and bumps.
