Summer NAMM '08 - Charvel Guitars

[taketheplunge54]

fender owns both jackson and charvel, as well as gretsch. Gibson owns Kramer guitars I believe. Just do the research and you shall see the monopoly in all its glory

[MrChupacabra69]

jackson charvel was the best.....fender charvel doesnt tickle my fancy

[1nsane25]

as that $9.99 or $999.

[jayou812a]

[DopeSick408]

What type of les paul did you get? Gibson or Epi?

[sexyduck69]

man i want one soooooooooo bad

[tydogg]

I know that 22 frets were fine for Eddie, George, and Randy. But it just seems like a no brainer to me to have more 24 fretted offerings from a shred focused company. Then again, I always gotta laugh when I think about Hendrix and Malmsteen playing 21 fretted guitars with single coil pickups... God I've got a lot to learn... !

[WoWandMetalFTW]

i know what you mean, but the thing with a 22 fret guitar, is that usually you can make the scale length a little shorter, and bends go through easier and such, one really isnt better then the other, its all preference, im actually getting a SoCal tommorow lol

[Zaneus92]

thing is, this is a 25.5" scale guitar, not a smaller scale length. Plus the floyd makes it harder to bend.

The real gain from 22 fret guitars is you get the neck pup closer to the neck, so you get a warmer tone and a wider difference between the bridge pup, allowing a greater tonal range.

[WoWandMetalFTW]

thats all true. i actually have one of these now. the socal and its amazing. but i dont think floyd roses make it harder to bend at all. thats just me though

[Zaneus92]

It does. Any floating trem makes bending harder. You apply more tension on the string when you bend, so it pulls the floyd forward, lowering the pitch. so you have to bend it further to hit the note you're trying to achieve.

But i agree, i own a socal, they're fantastic,

[WoWandMetalFTW]

yea, but some people have a tendancy to overbend like crazy, i think almost everything comes down to preference on a guitar.

[WoWandMetalFTW]

and HELL YEA THEY ARE. lol

[brib333]

Man he is so right on. God bless Guitar Hero. It is bringing back the shreders. And its most importantly bringing back

ROCK & ROLL! Kids play it and they want more!

[Graiskye]

love to get my hands on a black SD II

[Alxscode]

Too freakin' xpensive!

[eruptionfreak]

i agree, a bet if they were a little cheaper they would sell like crazy

[TravuhsWree]

I want the San Dimas Style 2 but I don't want red... I'll wait, I need more money too anyways.

I'd dig green.

[crx1vtec]

Charvel rulez!!!

[serazac25]

i wish for the so-cal, black but with a 2 octave neck, that would be beyond perfection

[wisesatyr72]

Id still play a USA Fender; no fuss no cuss, it gets better w/age..

[TheGamingGuitarist]

The second batch of colors came out on Oct. 3. Now, the San Dimas Style 1 is in candy blue, The San Dimas Style 2 is in candy red, and the So-Cal is candy green. If I had the money, I would buy the So-cal in green. But, I can't afford a new guitar:(

[emachines007]

charvel is awsome , but If you think about it i can buy a fender strat MIM buy dimarzio pickups and a floyd rose for cheaper than 1000 dollars

[thepeople55]

dude he ment 9.99

[emachines007]

ha i wish 999

[TheOCDan]

I want a custom bright lime green one w/ matching reverse headstock. One screaming, growling humbucker, one volume knob and a Floyd.

[MrDonnaholic427]

I know dude, I really wanna slam down on that floyd!

[YngMalmsteen]

Can you say "So-Cal"? What a killer Axe @ a killer price. Booth looks great!

[MrDonnaholic427]

[rg2027x]
