Using this EVH Star guitar is a breeze. First, plug it into your amplifier and turn it on. You can use the EVH Wolfgang humbucker to get different tones. If you want to create those cool stutter effects, just press the momentary kill switch. When you're playing, the comfortable maple neck and the fast - playing ebony fingerboard will make it easy for you to move your fingers around and play those amazing riffs. The Floyd Rose tremolo with D Tuna is great for adding sustain and quickly changing to Drop D tuning.
As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place. Wipe it down with a clean cloth after each use to remove any sweat or dirt. You can also clean the strings regularly to keep them sounding good. When you're not using the guitar, store it in the included EVH Star/Shark Economy Gig Bag. And don't forget to check the tuning regularly to make sure your guitar always sounds its best.
