    Thanks for this, Ola! In short order, you explained the "sonic essence" of this Charvel model! I have an earlier iteration with an ALL ASH body (satin charcoal nitro finish) and a plain Maple neck w/ Ebony 'board...pretty much the same in other respects. You nailed the observation about the bridge p'up placement...great for getting the V/H "Brown Sound", too! It's one of the more "tonally versatile" Guit's in my arsenal, for sure!! 🤘😆

      The reason why relic’ed guitars are a thing. You get to have a worn look that may be super cool to you, and it’ll last as long as the clear coat will.

    • @infinitesimotel
      @infinitesimotel 7 днів тому

      It depends who good the "relicing" is, most of them are just too neat paint chips or paint sanding that doesn't really look authentic. Fano guitars are the best at "relicing" guitars in my opiniion.

      It breaks up the minimalism of the all-black guitar with wood's lighter color. That being said, I would like to see a lighter relic - even if this one is already toned down from Frederik Danhage's signature. But it's not bad and I wouldn't mind owning one.

    Re 4:29 that's probably spot-on. I find the closer the pickup is to the bridge (so further away from the body-neck joint), the brighter it sounds while if its hole is routed more towards the neck, it'll be darker.
