Charvel Guitars From Guitar World April 2009

[Akyuz1000]

charvel is like a sister copany to jackson but what i like about charvel is that i keeps alot of the sound from the decades rock and metal stood tall the 70's 80's and early 90's

[TheYWCBAND]

yea dimarzio!!!

[DeathFromAbove1981]

These guitars are under £600 now... so tempted.

Check out the Chravel pro mod wild card 6. Japanese made, hardtail. niiice.

[Sparks424]

I thought Charvel Was Jackson ?

[Shmucko21]

@Sparks424 It is, but Charvel has moved the sharper heavy metal guitars to the Jackson franchise. Charvel sticks to more vintage lookin kind of guitars now.

[Sparks424]

@Shmucko21 I have a Jackson and love it and i really like the looks of these guitars .

[ISBSA1]

hay peeps any so cal owners?? iv been looking at all the same old same old jackson esp ibanez then i came across the so cal theres something about it i like but no dealers in my area to try one how do they compare to the brands i mentioned

[CptnGinyu]

It's aggravating watching you play.

[Prenner111]

this dude needs fucking lessons.

[GigoTheDoctor]

I would like to know more about the amp/effects the guy is using in this video ?

[cheese0tron]

Charvel needs to release more guitars

[kazkas000]

I'd better be off with Ibanez SA-120

[metachozoite]

@kazkas000 or an RG :D

[Hoshang2]

@kazkas000 ibanez sucks...i hate them...i hate their look, i hate their players (14 year old players and skatedudes)

[thecharvelshredder]

I love Charvel's, my first guitar was a model 4

[PGBUCKETHEAD]

look likes ibanez rg550 models....

[rumsucka]

@PGBUCKETHEAD Ibanez RG models are based off Charvels, not explicitly but close. RGs came out in the late 80s as a rival and alternative to other 'super strat' types.

[sbogiam61]

@rumsucka did you ever bother to even look at the ibanez website. the rg model was based on and replaced the road star model.

[codyjt5150]

this guy thinks money grows on trees, affordable my ass.

[rumsucka]

@codyjt5150 theyre only a grand..for an American made instrument. Thats pretty f'n cheap considering the labor costs, and especially considering Charvel is like the Bogner of guitars--mostly high end, custom/made to order stuff. Theyre unaffordable to you because you're cheap and dont have a job. Even an 8-10 dollar an hour job will snag you 1000 bucks in a month or two.

[codyjt5150]

@rumsucka yea that's true, but the thing is that my parents won't let me have a job for some reason, i mean I'm old enough lol

[wisesatyr72]

The Charvels made in japan are 20 times better than this crap, theres more color variations, more choices on wood finishes, vintage body and headstock shape, gold/chrome hardware and pickups, and there are plenty of hardtails. the logo is the vintage Charvel, these are terrible looking and they sound bland..

[Mr0ro]

carvins are affordable, I dont know about this

[rumsucka]

@Mr0ro Dude a Carvin guitar is what 12-1500 or more. A SoCal is 1100 tops.

[1x9x8x9]

Damn! This guy can play! Nice 2 see, I've seen so many guitar demos played by crap "guitarists". These guitars are stunning!

[XxMeTaL96xX]

Do Blackouts fit in to this guitar??

[JohnGangster2009]

@XxMeTaL96xX i would guess because they have seymour duncans so blackouts should fit as well

[musictakeslife]

Some Charvels run for 5 thousand too, some gibsons go for 1000, some fender strats go for 800... this is moderatley affordable for your average player...

[MetalHeartsOfSteel]

does these guitars work for deathmetal riffing?

[IansWatch]

Question... If you could own a PRS SE with the Floyd Rose (new this year) or the Charvel, which would you choose?

[IansWatch]

Nice axe, especially for the price. Would make a nice addition to the PRS I have, although this is more of a hard rock piece.

[CiscoMcLovin]

um is it just me or do they look exactly like fenders?

[tpurgatoryt]

@CiscoMcLovin  theyre owned by fender

[5beomexl]

made by fender man.

[ooberpwnage]

Yeah because over a thousand dollars is AFFORDABLE. T_T

[Canadianspunge]

@ooberpwnage Compare these to Gibsons or Fenders and you'll see what he meant.

[alexrudhall]

@ooberpwnage if you compare it to a fender it shows that is is affordable, especially as it is a customised fender. ok £899 is pretty steep but if you compare that to a similar spec PRS or Gibson or even fender it is much cheeper.

[metachozoite]

@ooberpwnage in a theivs eyes it is lol

[toyoubecritic1]

great demo! truly an American metal icon.

[blitzspeer]

I had a metallic off cream white one with factory scalloped neck and active DiMarzio's back in 92' it was badass I wish I still had it.

[bulldogfight]

sounds like my little brother's toy guitar

[IansWatch]

bulldog, you're kidding, right?

[liamzuid]

charvel needs string thru bodys

[GuillermoSmyser]

Looks and sounds like it can do all the stuff that made it popular in the first place: 80's hair metal.

[thereaflashgordon]

Paul rips it up. What terrible colors. Where are the white or black or blue?

[mrboverbro]

i LOVE plyaing these guitars for van halen

if you play eruption on this it sounds AWESOME

[gibsongod15]

Yeah thats because the Tone Zone was basically a replica of the Brown Sound.

[synfan69]

affordable my ass. but they are amazing guitars.

[mrboverbro]

lol i was like when he said affordable

"affordable my ass"

[anahowana]

@mrboverbro esp std are about 1500$ usa jacksons are 2 grands, bernie ricos are around 3 grands, so yeah Charvel are so fuckin affordable and built in the usa.

[toyoubecritic1]

1099.99$ American. tarded affordable. only drawback no hardshell case. but thats just my opinion

[Deadsurfr]

At one point about 86/87, I had a collection af about 15 San Dimas Charvels. One, I WAS TOLD, from a colector in West Florida would be worth about, $5000.00 now.

[dadudeguy2]

cleans sound like shit, c'mon paul.

[Jimihendrix6699]

were do they sell these

[Steven23CrazyBassist]

I just love Charvel.

[theblakeman56]
