Using your EVH Striped Series left - handed electric guitar is a breeze. First, attach your strap using the vintage - style strap buttons. Plug in your guitar to an amplifier and start adjusting the single black volume control knob (labelled 'tone') to get the sound you want. You can use the EVH - branded Floyd Rose® locking tremolo with EVH D - Tuna® for cool effects and easy tuning. When you're done playing, make sure to store your guitar in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the neck and body. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep them sounding great. Also, check the truss rod adjust spoke wheel at the base of the neck from time to time to ensure the neck is in good shape. The tremolo arm and hex keys are there to help you make adjustments, so keep them handy. And don't forget to refer to the user manual for more detailed information.
