Using your EVH Striped Stratocaster is a breeze. First, make sure the guitar is properly tuned using the EVH - branded tuning machines. The EVH D - Tuna on the EVH - branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo allows for quick pitch changes. When you play, the single Wolfgang humbucking pickup will give you a rich, powerful sound. You can adjust the tone using the single white volume control knob. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to keep them in good condition. Check the truss rod adjustment regularly with the thumbwheel to ensure the neck stays in the right shape. And be careful when using the locking nut and tremolo system to avoid any damage.
