I had a Charvel years ago it had the pointy head stock and Super distortion in bridge same as a single coil in neck and a floyd. Was a heavy ass guitar colour blue the neck plate was stamped Fort Worth TX. Sold it like a chump when young. Was a cracking guitar
Just a tip if you want to tighten the arm socket you can just loosen the strings and then remove of the springs from the back and after that remove the floyd and tighten the screw no need to remove the strings all together. This is also handy if you need to change the pickups or do things to the fretboard. But i agree the small cavity is an oversight from charvel.
1000 Floyds are Ok but need the push in arm bad, the best upgrade you can do to them IMO. I think the vol-pot is in an Ok position compared to others, what is important is, that it doesn't sit right under the tremolo arm when you are playing, so you bump into it all the time and limit the travel.
You mean top mounted vs flush mounted. There is no problem with either. With flush, you can get even lower action and pull up as high as you want. I have both and like both. No problem at all.
@@ThisOldGuy3 Well...there is one problem with all these guitar companies. Not for you, but for us Left handed players. hmm 🤔 wonder if I could pull the "Lefty Race" card and if it'll work? "End Left Handed Derrrrscreminashun".
@@lelandgaunt7130 Recessed are for sure better and i prefer it overall, but it doesn't fit the vintage Charvel Strat look imo, so i always pick a non-recessed floyd rose on Stratocasters, because thats what they had back in the days when it was retrofitted, its more authentic. If i want a guitar with the best playability then i go for something complete different and buy a super strat like ESP M series, Jackson Soloist or Charvel Dinky, then you get 24 frets, much better heel contour/neck-thru and much deeper cut on the horns, and a recessed floyd.
I've got probably 8 or 9 Charvel's including my original one I got in 88. I love Charvel's and they are my go to guitar. I love the 59/JB combo but have tried some different Seymour Duncans along the way. I have a Charvel that Lee Garver built and it is amazing. As usual I love watching these gear videos and your playing is stellar as usual.
I actually like the position of the volume knob, and the fact there is no tone knob too - I agree on the floyd 100% its OK but not a top shelf german made or japanese gotoh…..I put a plumbers #6 o-ring in the collar of the floyd to tighten it up and get it to not flop around 🔥🎸🔥🎸 -- great playing btw Euge!!
Yeah, if they moved it back where Euge likes them, lots of folks would complain. It's the same with a Strat. If I have not played mine for ages, the volume control feels like it's in the way when I am palm muting and it annoys me. I get used to it eventually though. Then I decide I do not like Strats all over again (I really like them when other people play them though -- lots of my fav players used them)
Amazing Rig and Amazing Playing !! I had to hit Subscribe immediately !! 🎸 I just looked through several of your Videos and I love all of your Content . I like the way that you go into detail about each Product that you're doing a Demo on . Hope you're doing well Dude . 🎸
I had this in mind for a project leaning towards an N4 as UK market tricky to find a decent one....fortunately I found a JEm... Re position the switch under the neck pup. Move the volume into switch hole... Add L-500... And... Ditch a bit more paint. Excellent demonstration.. How do you find this compared to an N4 considering you have experience of the tones and feel? Thanks Dude.
I like Charvel guitars a lot. The neck profiles seem to fit my hands like a glove. Skinny, but not silly skinny like a Wizard neck. Not keen on relic jobs though. It reminds me of those pre ripped jeans that are trying too hard to be cool. Each to their own I guess though. Nobody is forcing me to buy one. There are types of aging that are necessary though. Aging replacements parts so they match old guitars. Another is replicating a guitar that nobody much ever has a chance of owning, e.g., Eddie's Frankie. One thing lots of companies now use is that pale brown looking Indian rosewood. It does not look dark and gnarly like the Brazilian stuff that lots of guitars had until the 1990s or so. Fair enough though, because that wood is endangered. Rain forests and all that. If I am not going for a maple fingerboard, I'd choose ebony over that pale rosewood. Gibson aging and relicing is the one that annoys me the most, because their best instruments all tend to have either it, or VOS aging. If I was after a 1959 reissue Les Paul, I'd want the finish and spec to be exactly the same as if I had a time machine and went back to buy on brand new one in 1959, i.e, the same new guitar experience a person would have had back in the day. Then I'd play it lots, so the wear and tear is all earned, rather than faked. I am not after a 1959 though. I am happy as with my SG Standard and trusty old 1990s Les Paul Studio that has an ebony fingerboard and a Super Distortion pup. It's such a good sounding guitar that I think I would find it hard to get a better sounding brand new one. The neck is a little chubby, but I think that might be part of why it sounds so good. I love the '60s neck on the SG, but I want bigger frets installed (bigger frets usually make bending and vibrato easier -- if anybody was wondering -- down side is they can feel like judder bars on your finger tips when you slide between positions, unless they are the really rounded ones). P.S. The slightly modded Plexi sounds great with your TS808 type pedal. Usually your best tones are from a SD1, but the TS808 really suited that amp with that guitar. Sounded great. Really great.
Which you like more..this one or the Hendrik Danhage? I ve played on the Hendrik and it feels like as if its my old time favorite..even when I played it the first time..roasted neck..and like the headstock..but mexican for much money?
Love the channel dude! Which guitar is the better one in your opinion, I've seen you play both here. EVH Frankie(Relic) vs Charvel Pro-Mod Relic ? Cheers! Edit* I'll be playing 80s stuff on it & occasionally EVH ofcourse!
I never could get into Seymour Duncan pickups, just not the right feel for me, I been a Lawrence guy since 81 when I 1st started playing, it was Matthias Jabs fault and that Blackout Album! I have always preferred Charvel, Jackson and ESP.
You know you can just refer to it as a Charvel San Dimas? All the other stuff is just there for the Charvel fans to get an idea about what some of the features are.
I liked the pro mod series better when they where made in Japan. Real toggle switch instead of a blade switch, no tone knob and a nice yellow maple neck.
I agree, they also had top-mounted floyd rose and the truss rod and output jack the same as a vintage strat, i got one new back in 2010 it had a hard case and everything, should never have sold it.
Personally, I absolutely hate ''relic'' guitars. It's the same poser-BS like these ''pre-ripped'' jeans. That being said, these Charvel Pro Mod models are some very nice guitars, I just wish they would replace that blocky Fender neck heel with the new ''shredder's heel'' like the DK24 Pro Mod models have.
Estas guitarras vienen sin acabar el mastil,sin barniz,y el floyd rose desafinado mucho.prefiero ESP MADE IN JAPAN.Charvel in mexico👎 CHARVEL MADE IN USA👌👍👍🤘😎🤘.
Euge: "Charvel come up with shorter names"
Ibanez: "Hold my beer"
Ibanez is avoiding using kanji and katakana in international distribution: what is Fender's (who own Charvel) excuse?
@@Robstafarian Kanji/katakana has nothing to do with the names they choose haha

If they made a hardtail version of this
I’d buy 14 of them on the spot !

Great demo! Nice call out on the inability to easily snug up the tremolo arm.
My only problem with these is the trem pocket. I like the older ones without the pocket, I prefer my floyd being decked like Eddie did.🤘😎🎸
Agree. I’m even seeing that on various manufacturer’s models with regular 2 point trems. 👎

The necks on these is worth the price alone. Absolutely the best neck on any Floyd guitar on the market!
I changed the cam insert and bar on my FR 1000 to an original Floyd version cheap and easy upgrade.
10:59 well , i don't have problem with that because i like the volume pot is close to the bridge because of doing volume swell

Hey Euge! Great playing and review my friend!
How do you block off your floating tremolos? I need to do one of my guitars
Thanks! With FU-Tones stuff: ua-cam.com/video/F_LL0rKs7Y4/v-deo.htmlsi=nECblqmg3ifvqW7d
😮 wow 🤘
Hey Euge, do you put your chorus infront of the amp or in the loop? It sounds awesome dude. Great video as always 🙌
In front. Thanks!
What do you think about floyd rose 1000? how bad is it?
Im from Brazil, "pau ferro" means "iron wood" 😅😅😅😅😅
Make it a bridge only pickup with the “toothpaste” and I’ll throw money at you Charvel.
Cool demo! Not sure why they would go through the trouble of finishing with Nitro, then removing half of it in the relic process?
Has the Human pedal replaced your SD1?
Nope. Nothing replaces SD-1 ’cos SD-1 is the only SD-1 😎.
back to basic , hell yeah !
Don't cut that bit out to access the trem arm Euge, just drill a 10mm hole there , instant access..!!
Reminds me of mick mars 1991 Charvel
I never could get into Seymour Duncan pickups, just not the right feel for me, I been a Lawrence guy since 81 when I 1st started playing, it was Matthias Jabs fault and that Blackout Album! I have always preferred Charvel, Jackson and ESP.
how do you connect all these amps up?
with cables
@@naturalianoss 😂🤣😁
Pick ups are muddy?
Not at all. Especially JB is pretty bright so quite the opposite.
This or the EVH Striped 78' Strat ?
I’d take this one.
You know you can just refer to it as a Charvel San Dimas?
All the other stuff is just there for the Charvel fans to get an idea about what some of the features are.
Yes. But I wanted to be accurate 😎.
Would rather buy the Charvel Henrik Danhage Relic, looks much cooler, and no recessed floyd nor pau ferro.
I liked the pro mod series better when they where made in Japan. Real toggle switch instead of a blade switch, no tone knob and a nice yellow maple neck.

@@Echoes- Yeah, Mine was lost in a fire accident a few years ago. Still havn’t gotten over it.
You could put a chainsaw through that signal chain and it would sound great
If chainsaw sounds great to someone then yes 😁.
Dont get me wrong,i love charvel and jackson guitars,but that signal chain is bad ass,and every descent guitar will sound great through that
