Wood and metal my friend, same CNC machines and parts, there are plenty of guitars that can out play this thing. Im 58 years old and have had 750 guitars in 40 years, I can tell ya that today most guitars play very well with minor set up.
@@hughwilliams870 I agree 100%. Every guitar I own is a budget mod project and I'm very happy with them all. Right now I'm working on a strat kit, replacing the hardware and pickups. My plan is a nitro finish this before the end of the year!
Paying anything over 1k for a bolt-on solid body is kinda crazy tbh. For 7k i can get some high end PRS with AAAAAAA1111!!! god tier flamed maple top and all the bells and whistles😂
Dana is an awesome guitar player, excellent sales-man/connoisseur, and just an overall great guy... What a blessing to know him for over 30 years ...Salud my old friend!
It may be one of a kind as far as the Fender era but I had an original '83 that looked EXACTLY like that. Same finish, same double cream pickups, same hardware, electronics and rosewood fingerboard but mine had a birdseye maple neck. Sold it to a well known vintage Charvel collector.
@@ejmazzi1499 Not sure if he's on youtube but he had a website back then that showed his collection. I don't want to throw out his name in a public forum but he was a well known collector in that community. His website was called "vintage charvels" or something like that. I lost touch with him and that whole crowd years ago. I think I sold him 3 original Charvels but he had dozens of them.
I was 13 and wanted a charvel so bad. I had a sh!t guitar & practiced my nards off so my parents would buy me a new guitar. They bought me a Kramer focus 2000 because it was "made in the USA", we all know that wasn't the case (this was 1986). I still have the Kramer to this day and still love it! But I still want a Charvel, lol!
@brighterhealthshop they are still great guitars if you can get your hands on one, original Floyd & hot pickups from the factory. I played the hell outta mine 🤘
I had a Kreamer Striker. Put a Duncan pickup in the Bridge and rocked out for a few years. Floyd rose was cool, but sucks for string changing. We'll, I actually hate string changing of any kind
In 1978 Grover Jackson Took Over Charvel There Was a Top Secret Deal That When Grover Jackson Took Over Charvel and Became Jackson Guitars Grover Jackson Was Hanging Out At BCRICH Guitars On Valley Blvd Behind The Sip n Shoot Bar at This Time BCRICH Guitars Was 4 Garages Well All The BCRICH Bolt On Are Made By Lee Jackson How Do I know this Because i Picked Up All The BCRich Bolt On From Lee He Had a Tommy Bolin Poster Playing a Charvel in His Office
My first guitar was a charvell and even though it was cheaper than a lot of my friends. they always wanted to play Mine. Reverse neck super thin beautiful.
I was 18 in 1987 which I believe is the pinnacle year for the super strat. My personal want was an Ibanez RG 550 in desert yellow that had eluded me back then and has since then. Of course Charvel was on the list and a Kramer Baretta. Someday RG 550, someday lol. \m/
I love my New San Dimas Caribbean Blue Quilted HSH double locking Tremolo better. I also have a 7 string Charvel Vivaldi Signature guitar bought 3 years ago.
I'm 56 years old and back in the day I bought a 1991 charvel Jackson deluxe double lockdown tremblow system. As a screening humbucker in it. At 56 years old I still feel like I'm trying to be any Van Halen when I play it lol.
Um, that is not an ebony board. In 1988 I was 15 and started playing in my first garage band. My dad bought me a Ibanez RG560. THAT was an amazing guitar!
Found one ruby red Charvel San Dimas in rural Malaysia. In late 80s, the owner was a uni student in Florida, he returned to Malaysia for holiday with the guitar weeks b4 Hurricane Andrew destroys his house.
Charvel came first with Wayne Charvel & Grover Jackson. When Grover built the Concord for Randy. That is when the Jackson Guitar Company was formed. Hope this helps. 🎸🎸🎸✌🏽
I don't remember them ever being that expensive. My guitar teacher had one and it was his daily driver so to speak. He would use it mostly for lessons but his cobalt blue Jackson and his honey blonde G and L fender were way better. Charvel is better than Ibanez but both are kinda mid tier in my opinion but both are great for beginning bands.
Not ebony. Rosewood. And that is not the ultimate shred guitar, not by a long stretch. I can think of at least six better shred guitars built back in the eighties, not a copy built these days.
Damn i want one!! But, and theres usually a but, i have a new grandson in houston( im in west virgine) so gotta make the trip to see him and pass on the guitar. Bit its a nice guitar
An 80s-modded Strat-style without a Floyd for that much??? Pass. Not just because I am an Yngwie single-coil, standard Fender-style bridge player, but because nobody who went for that Van Halen-esque gear and sound back in the day would have played that without a locking tremolo.
Oh hell no......... Play those if you want to play old guy rock But shred..............I mean shred...... An original Jackson Soloist or Ibanez rg with wizard neck Anything else is for folks who THINK they shred
When I was 12 I couldn't afford it and now I'm 49 and still can't afford it 😂
Such is life in the Fast Lane

Kool 😎👍
just wait till your 100, you can finally get the axe you want.
7K for a basic guitar is insane!!!!😢
These “master built” series that all the makes are doing are goofy as hell. 😂😂
Your paying for fender "master built" tax. 2k for the guitar, 5k for the fender/charvel on the headstock
Paying anything over 1k for a bolt-on solid body is kinda crazy tbh. For 7k i can get some high end PRS with AAAAAAA1111!!! god tier flamed maple top and all the bells and whistles😂
@@KingKong-mp6gj I want a PRS. I don’t even play guitar. Those are works of art.
I wonder how the basses sound.
Those pickups cost 200$ in total. 7k, yeah alright bud…
Mr Salesman, That's a Rosewood Board!
damn right! good catch..

Wayne Charvel used to live in Redlands about a mile and a half from my house back in the 80s. He worked on my friend's guitar.
That fretboard doesn't look like ebony to me?
Not all ebony boards are really dark. There are lighter variations.
Yeah, no looks like rosewood to me.

I had A Kramer Focus also from DJ's at a Sale over 30 years ago. Red, Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo, that I loved...

Rosewood finger board
Thank you. I looked it up, and it says ebony, but that ain't ebony. Rosewood sounds right.
That was my first real shredder guitar. God I wish I still had it.
Back in the 80s, Charvel was my favorite ice cream!😊
When he said San Dimas, all I could think of was Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
A guitar doesn't shred, the guitarist does
This is surprisingly wholesome!
Why? What’s wholesome about it? And why that word?
That blue color!
Ebony??
In 1978 Grover Jackson

There Was a Top Secret
Deal That When

My first guitar was a charvell and even though it was cheaper than a lot of my friends.
they always wanted to play Mine. Reverse neck super thin beautiful.
That's a rosewood fretboard salesperson
Don't care about the spec.. Just play it!!!
I didn’t think u could find them anymore glad I saw this vid
I had a sparkling red Charvel and a Black Charvette that i had painted.
The charvette was my beast
Ibanez RG 550 always be a Shred Machine... Mine is 2 mm on 24 fret 🤘
Mine too! In desert yellow! \m/

He had his hands on it when you came up to him!! Jackson RR Concord
Still got my '86 #6 has the floyd rose locking trem system. Hot rod red rosewood fretboard. Mint condition, less than 25 hours playtime
I love my New San Dimas Caribbean Blue Quilted HSH double locking Tremolo better. I also have a 7 string Charvel Vivaldi Signature guitar bought 3 years ago.
That is sick!!!
I have , and love a Charvel
omg im in love I want that guitar
Ooooooh, preetty!!!😊
I love Charvel. It’s like a Fender but better.
I'm 56 years old and back in the day I bought a 1991 charvel Jackson deluxe double lockdown tremblow system.
As a screening humbucker in it.
At 56 years old I still feel like I'm trying to be any Van Halen when I play it lol.
A dream!
I love my 90s red charvel 475
I can confirm was my dream...
The only reason I miss living in Hartsville is the Bolivian food in Silver Springs and Chuck Levins 😂
"It's even got the mismatched gold to black hardware" like that's a good thing. Also gets the fretboard wrong. Yeah I'd shop somewhere else.
That look glorious!!! I love blue so much
I have that Alexi sig🤘
Um, that is not an ebony board. In 1988 I was 15 and started playing in my first garage band. My dad bought me a Ibanez RG560. THAT was an amazing guitar!
Jackson Charvel. Yeah!!!
It really reminds me of Steve Vai's 'Crossroads' guitar that Jack Butler played!
Nothing shreds like an Ibanez RG with a Wizard 3 neck
Found one ruby red Charvel San Dimas in rural Malaysia. In late 80s, the owner was a uni student in Florida, he returned to Malaysia for holiday with the guitar weeks b4 Hurricane Andrew destroys his house.
The price shreds my wallet more than anything else. You want $7,000. I'm thinking realistically $1,500.
Cool taylor guitars shirt
Shred with no floyd rose🤔🤔????
Is Charvel the same company as Jackson? Because that sure looked like a Jackson headstock shape to me.
Charvel came first with Wayne Charvel & Grover Jackson. When Grover built the Concord for Randy. That is when the Jackson Guitar Company was formed. Hope this helps. 🎸🎸🎸✌🏽
@@reverendg5937 Yeah thanks!

Got a black one on my cart at sweetwater
The alexi 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Ok I want it
I want that camo snakebyte
Not ebony. Rosewood. And that is not the ultimate shred guitar, not by a long stretch. I can think of at least six better shred guitars built back in the eighties, not a copy built these days.
If I'm spending 7 grand, it better say "Martin" on it.
Hey that was Jason Becker's brand that he used
Was he hanging up an Alexi? Then went to another guitar??
I just got the west covina model
For the price tag of 5 to 10 thousand dollars, you to can go back in time !
needs a floyd, strat tremolos are terrible
😂😂😂he walks past the whole eddy van halen collection 😂😂😂
We've got some fun videos with some EVH shredders on our page! Check 'em out!
Price?
Beautiful but I’d take that vmnt above it first.
Sorry but you can't have shred without a floyd rose. Yeah sure you create flat notes when you bend, but those whammy harmonics. Woosh
Damn i want one!! But, and theres usually a but, i have a new grandson in houston( im in west virgine) so gotta make the trip to see him and pass on the guitar. Bit its a nice guitar
Plain Jaine ,
Guitars 🎸
I love my sam Dimas
Baaaaaa hahahaha! “It’s even mismatched”
Customer shop with a bolt on… I know it’s the SanD. But yea know carpel tunnel is a sob
No Floyd?
I wanna hear…?!
6 point trem? "Ultimate"? Looks like a Fender mistake, thise do not stay in tune.
Nah I all began when Eddie Van Halen made his frankenstrst out of Charbel guitar parts.
That’s clearly rosewood This guy is selling the guitar and doesn’t know that
But why no floyd. How shred with no floyd
They need 24 frets! If they want to sell more guitars 24 frets at least or 27 fret. If
That's some brown af ebony on that board, nice guitar though (I assume having not played it).
$7k!
No Floyd? Huh🤷
Jake E. Lee.
I got a real one I’ll sell you that’s actually a 80’s model looks just like the new one but original.
A shred guitar needs a rounded heel.
He just double-creamed himself
An 80s-modded Strat-style without a Floyd for that much???
Pass. Not just because I am an Yngwie single-coil, standard Fender-style bridge player, but because nobody who went for that Van Halen-esque gear and sound back in the day would have played that without a locking tremolo.
That guitar should literally cost 100$ max with that crappy bridge , how much they asking for it lol
7k is the asking price. Ouch!!!!
That's not a Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder...
Replica
Cheap yamahas run rings around the one of a kinds
Get shredded for hours and hours and stay in tune even with a tremilo
Ebony is black not brown
No³, pick that alexi guitars. Show us
I'll stick with Jackson 😂
7 thousand for a guitar, ridiculous. You still have to play it. Can't buy talent, motivation or dedication.
He never said the price
The guitar is tagged in the video with pricing for folks to check out further!
Yeah 6 grand for a damn guitar.🤔
It's ok that you're broke, they sell cheaper models.
666 likes😮😮😅😅
Thumbs down everything that doesn’t actually show you what you watch the video for
Oh hell no.........
Play those if you want to play old guy rock
But shred..............I mean shred......
An original Jackson Soloist or Ibanez rg with wizard neck
Anything else is for folks who THINK they shred
Any guitar is good for someone who can play it
7k, no thanks.
Nice guitar but nothing all that special
Ah no samples 😕
