    I love the necks on these Charvels.....the easiest smoothest I played...and I a lot of guitars
    The pick ups are so clear without and extraneous noise.
    And the body is super comfortable

    How well does the Gotoh 510 hold tune? It's the only thing on this I'm hesitant about. I wouldn't be doing anything crazy like with a Floyd, but I don't want tuning going out of whack really easily. The single coil tones sound surprisingly great, enough that I could probably replace my Strat with this and have a much more versatile guitar.

    I have a black trem one, a little mixed feelings so far. Body is chambered, 7 chambers under the pickguard, mine has bad neck joint pocket (again like 2019 pro mod dk 24 grey strat), even wider gaps this time, on both sides, easy to spot, light just shines through the gaps. Bridge pickup lack body and bark in high gain setting, plenty of high mids to cut through but no mass. Neck pickup i dig a lot. Would not recommend it to high gain use, definitely not a modern metal sound, great for other styles, blues, rock. Neck is awesome, frets all good, tuners and tuning stability are good as well, this gotoh trem is top stuff. I am dropping Fishman Modern set in hope to get bridge pickup bark and roar instead of high fq sizzle. But again, i am in a high gain situation.

    • @tavishurn2585
      @tavishurn2585 4 роки тому

      I count 8 chambers. :) Including the sort of S-shaped one between the pickups. I'm happy so far, I don't see any gaps at the neck join on mine although I feel the fret edges slightly. There's not much acoustic volume, I think I have a fairly dense selection of ash pieces as mine weighs in at 3.3kg even with the weight relief, it's a good weight though.

    • @damonthegnomeoftonechivers

    Hi Damon, thank you for your fantastic reviews. I am in doubt between this HH and the HSH dinky (you tested both and both are very good and very versatile). Unfortunately I cannot test them (together) and make my choice (here in Italy is even quite hard find this brand in a shop ...). What do you think about? May you give me yor advice? In my mind HSH is more versatile ... but after hearing the test also HH seems to cover a huge range of sounds from metal to funk ... Thank you in cas of suggestions!

    • @damonthegnomeoftonechivers
      @damonthegnomeoftonechivers  8 місяців тому +1

      There’s not a huge difference. There is a coil tap on the hh, so you can get single coil tones. Plus the Fluence pickups allow you to choose between vintage and modern Humbucker tones. So maybe you need to decide on whether you need true single coil tones? Amd how they look of course!

Actually I am looking for a powerful HB @ bridge (well defined with high/very high gain, not muddy) + intermediate/neck positions good for funk/clean sound... all in one guitar ... but these Charvels seem to match! Both HSH a HH tele are extremely beautiful (and with same neck etc.) so the choice based purely on sound is very hard! Thank you Paolo

      Hi Lucy. Any guitar can really be set up to play how you want in terms of the action. If someone has a guitar with a high action take it to a repairman and get them to set it up how you would like. These are. Some of the easiest and best playing guitars I’ve tried in ages , and generally Charvels have some of the best and easiest playing necks available. Go to a goos guitar store, as many wil set the guitar up for you when you buy it. Thanks for watching.🎸👍

      Old comment but a guy at Fishman really worded it perfect.
      [In my words]
      Do active pickups use batteries? Yes. Do our pickups use batteries, well yes. But that doesn't mean our pickups are active. Our pickups and their ability to offer different voicing options, requires to be battery powered. But out battery powered pickups may be designed to sound passive or active. Construction wise emg and passive pickups are probably designed more similarly (wound wire) than emg and Fishman pickups (they don't use winding wire).
      And frankly that makes alot of sense imo. Alot of times they get spoken of like just an alternate for ppl into EMGs, when really that's short-changing their potential. I suppose you can get into semantics with wording but I think when most people say active they are speaking of a hot/hi gain inclination or idealizing emg tones and that ballpark. In this case the only "active" aspect is the presence of a 9v.
