I mean this in the most complimentary way possible: the guitarist looks like if Marty Friedman and Guthrie mixed together and was also a Kingdom Hearts villain. Love his style and playing!!
Such a beast player....I absolutely agree with the Friedman style with Guthrie characteristics...but it also has a Queen and Kings X angle to it too in there.
@@mikkonurmi5201 Aside from the obvious benefits of ss frets, another advantage that often gets overlooked is that they're smoother for bending. They're also good for people with nickel allergies. That said, Charvels are priced quite reasonably, so even if you add the cost of a ss refret, they compare quite favourably against other ss fret options on the market.
I have the Pro-Mod DK24 HH 2PT CM Poplar Burl in Transparent Black Burst with caramelized maple neck -- it's wonderful. The little toggle switch allows you to switch between parallel and series which unlocks really subtle tonal differences.
I got the hardtail one yesterday. I absolutely love it, it plays butter smooth. The guitar was set up properly. This was my first ever Charvel, but I can already tell that there are many more to come!
I just tried the desert sand at my local guitar center and it easily made it to the top of my wish list. Most comfortable neck I’ve ever played and the tones sounded great across all 5 positions.
Guitars sound great but blimey… this piece is stunning. I know this is Jordan Ziff, but does the composition have a name? Or is this literally just bespoke guitar demo track written for Charvel. Love it 🤘🏼
Chapman and solar also do stainless steel frets. But fender and their brands like charvel don't. I was going to buy this very guitar and have the frets changed but ended up getting a Balagure standard which came stock with ss frets. Ss frets are becoming more and more popular I think fender and its brands should pay attention to this growing trend. Personally I need ss frets cause of skin allergy to nickel and a few other metals hence why I'm banging on about stainless steel frets.
im looking at getting a new guitar at the end of the year, that polar burl with the caramelised neck is highly tempting.... how long will these be in production for?, i really want that guitar but might need a year till i have the money.
He is like Warren Demartini and Marty Friedman clone with a little bit of a 70s funk groove. Very tasty player. Probably one of my favourite players right now.
@@Williaem00 its pretty good when paired with the right amp and tone setup but i feel the alnicos are a little on the sharper sounding side as opposed to a heavier chugging side. Its perfect for playing Jason Becker and Guthrie Govan style music. I would say for metal riffs, you might consider an esp LTD arrow as the one I have came with emg active pickups, low action, and sounds real good playing killswitch riffs.
Seriously, it’s just stainless steel it can’t be that much more on cost. Just increase the price and I’ll buy. This guitar could’ve been perfection with SS frets.
Did you end up getting one? I'm also wanting the same one . If so how do you like it so far? The blue paint is very 80s and I got to have the single coil in the neck along with the Floyd. I don't have any guitars with that pickup configuration, so it will kinda fill a void in my collection.
so charvel can’t offer us at lest one more left handed model,i would’ve killed for a lefty version of one of theses guitars 🎸 that’s why i went with schector instead
@@1nzi exactly i agree,i like that new HSS white model that just came out why not a lefty version of that at lest throw us a bone charvel only has like 3 lefty models one does have a 24 fret neck but a non locking term but no verity in colors at all
@@michaelmetal71 Yeah, horrible colors and variety for most lefty guitars. Schecter is good but suffer from the same lack of variety with most of their guitars catering to metal players
@@1nzi in fairness that’s true about schector but at least there’s a better variety,i got the lefty version of the nick johnston hss great guitar 🎸 and very versatile and premium parts better than any fender i’ve ever played
I used to feel the same way about Floyds. Once you learn how to set it up right it's one of the best bridges ever. The Floyd should sit flat and level with the body. Some recessed lower then others but parallel and flat is the main thing. When you tune up the Floyd should not move forward causing the string to go flat. If you notice that and it's tilting forward that means the strings are pulling harder than the springs on the Floyd. You then adjust the claw piece, just two screws. Turning the screws in increases spring tension. You have to have equal tension between the strings pulling one way and the springs the opposite direction. Then no matter what the bridge will come back to zero after dive bombs and such. Sometimes you have to swap springs or add one to get it right. I had a bad ass guitar sitting for years because I didn't know how to deal with it. Now I love it forever. Even though I still suck at using the bar.
@@jeremyshirah8293 I just got me my first Taylor ever.. and I got to say it is the best acoustic I have ever played.. I can jam for days on it and it never comes out of tune… if you want to find a great acoustic look at Taylor’s they are amazing sounding
@@varminttank cool man. Congratulations those are fantastic guitars. I have played a couple over the years at shops. They are definitely top tier and one of the most comfortable acoustic guitars to play. It will hold it's value well so you basically made an investment, so take good care of it. My dk24 in infinity blue is on the way.
I mean this in the most complimentary way possible: the guitarist looks like if Marty Friedman and Guthrie mixed together and was also a Kingdom Hearts villain. Love his style and playing!!
Marty's tour guitarist I believe
Yeah I believe it’s Jordan Ziff
It marty friedmans students that tours with him
Does anyone know the song though because it’s freaking insane
Glad to know there's more people hearing some Marty Friedman notes on this clip.
It's amazing how he switches guitars without missing a note. Seamless!
So much you need to learn..trust me..😆😆😛
🤣
It’s amazing how much he coincidentally resembles Guthrie too!
🤣
he's level 100, did you really expect anything less??
This guy is slowly morphing into Marty Friedman. Fantastic playing!
😅
This dude is killing it. Gonna look up more stuff of his.
Such a beast player....I absolutely agree with the Friedman style with Guthrie characteristics...but it also has a Queen and Kings X angle to it too in there.
We NEED Stainless Steel frets....
Seriously, it’s just stainless steel it can’t be that much more on cost. Just increase the price and I’ll buy. This guitar could’ve been perfection.
Yes we doo doo
No we dont. Have you ever run out of frets? Polishing stainles frets is pain in the ass
Why is everyone so obsessed with ss frets? If you like the guitar then just buy it, play it until the frets wear and then replace them

that infinity blue model looks MEGA sweet
just pulled the trigger. reminds me of my rg340 in that school bus yellow
I have the Pro-Mod DK24 HH 2PT CM Poplar Burl in Transparent Black Burst with caramelized maple neck -- it's wonderful. The little toggle switch allows you to switch between parallel and series which unlocks really subtle tonal differences.
the best part of Charvel promos is this dude playing intellectually interesting riffs and phrases
What a sound!!!
Jordan Ziff is the man!
When comes the album out?
I got the hardtail one yesterday. I absolutely love it, it plays butter smooth. The guitar was set up properly. This was my first ever Charvel, but I can already tell that there are many more to come!
Same story. Bought a DK24 SSH, had to get the gold DK22 SSS!
Whenever I see Charvel come up in my feed for half a second I always say to myself Charveloosah then I'm like. Oh ok it's Charvel!🤘
I just tried the desert sand at my local guitar center and it easily made it to the top of my wish list. Most comfortable neck I’ve ever played and the tones sounded great across all 5 positions.
00:50 This part is beatiful
Love Charvel guitars. Rich history and glorious tones.

Just got the Desert Sand model myself. Fantastic guitar.
Go Jordan! Sounds and looks amazing. Killer track and playing, you do Charvel proud!
Awesome models - love this backing track. Jordan is a bad ass player.
crazy good guitarist, excellent demo. I love my San Dimas Charvels, and the new ones look amazing, DK24 is not my type of guitar I supposed
Love these I just wish they would do them with stainless steel frets
Do any companies offer stainless steel frets stock ? Doubt you'd get that on a midrange guitar. My carvin has it but that's a custom.
@@metalheadblues Harley Benton have them stock at a budget price
What kind of Frets are they if they are not stainless steel
Chapman and solar also do stainless steel frets. But fender and their brands like charvel don't.

That transparent black burst 😍😍
How many Charvels is too many? 🤔
That blue one is the one for me!!!!!

I hear a lot of Kings X “It’s Love”in the main opening riff. Great sound and playing !
He is like Warren Demartini and Marty Friedman clone with a little bit of a 70s funk groove.
Very tasty player.
Probably one of my favourite players right now.
I own the transparent black burst and man does it feel buttery smooth on the fretboard and sounds amazing with my katana mk2.
How is it for riffage?
Like metalcore riffs

Nice but we want STAINLESS STEEL FRETS I don’t want nickel frets :(
After playing a guitar with stainless steel frets for a while, I agree, that sucks. It should be a requirement.
You can replace it
Both nickel and stainless steel are good quality are they not
This cat is a total badass on the guitar. My hats off to him.
Great job on the production for this video. Creative and polished.
If its good enough for Satchel, it's good enough for any guitarist on this planet
Killer Main riff, King's X sounding. great solos.
Interesting you said that - that is exactly what I was thinking - very King's X
I was kinda waiting for this video and here it is. This guy loves Marty Friedman. Beautiful guitars
The one with poplar burl top in trans black would be great if they make it HSH.
So hard choose! That infinity blue tho really pops!
I have the desert sand one, love it. Does anyone know what this song is? It rules, I need more of whatever this is. Jordan is a killer player.
These sound amazing!
Nice demo!! My man looks like Chris Cornell crossed with Guthrie govan 🤣🔥
0:52 Beatiful
love these guitars
the cacophony spirit is strong in this one 🤩
Nice phrasing and playing
I bought the Desert Sand one. Love it.
plot twist: Harley Benton Fusion guitar was used to make the soundtrack to this vid. HEHE
haha which model? How do you know?
@@andresariza259 I don't know. I just said it. :)
If they're anything like the dk24 I got in 2020, forgot the model, but is in specific ocean finish and mim, they're really nice guitars.
Excellent playing
Love my Dk 24 it’s my baby 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Just bought the HH HT Mahogany version today. Easily the best guitar I've gotten the chance to play.
My dream guitar ❤
No HH with Floyd? :(
Amazing Bro Jordan. Is There Backing Track For This Song?
The riff at the beginning is so effing good wish it was a song or is it ?
The main riff is insane!!😯😯 Very ingenious...
My dk24 from 2020 has staggered tuners from factory, are these standard now?
Hello Charvel When can we have a Cameroon Cooper Signiture Charvel guitar? im waiting...
This guy is crushing it. What are you selling me again? I'm lost in his playing.
Wow MARTY FRIEDMAN'S legacy will be continuing with this guy here. ❤
Seriously, it’s just stainless steel it can’t be that much more on cost. Just increase the price and I’ll buy. This guitar could’ve been perfection with SS frets.
i like the blue one.
Output jack still at the back?!!!!!
My Charvel does my head in because of that constantly coming loose.
No new Charvel for me this year then.
Do they have Carbon Rod reinforced necks???
i need the full song of this demo!
Really dig the hardtail
the best hss strat ?
These look fabulous! Lets see if ANYONE ON EARTH has em in stock 🤣
sweetwater. ive been waiting for ten years a super strat in an 80s color, with a floyd and a fast 24 fret neck
@@yosupmynamesmac thx mac! I’ll go check the site out

try Toontrack for the drums !
Very fantastic
Why the headstock logo is different position on some models?
I thought that was weird too. It's straight up and down on my DK24 Shell pink and follows the angle of the headstock on my DK24 Infinity Blue.
Wish they also put roasted maple neck with ebony fretboard on one of them
How to play melodic like this?
Thought it was guthrie govan at first😂😂😂
More HH FR and with better quality control please
What is the name of this song?

Se ven geniales
Nice shoes
Jordan Ziff been hanging around Marty Friedman a lot I see.
I hoped to see stainless steel frets this time...
MARTY FRIEDMAN 2!!!
It's all fun and giggles until you start noticing everything the QC missed at the factory
Why you are so hard to find in europe?thomann has only 3-4 models of charvel,and why zero production of the star model like chris holmes?
I want ❤
Can anybody tell what song he is playing
1st sick
Went to buy .$2000 then said made in Mexico is that correct
Backing track pleasee 😆
Why ware a ring?
Garage Band on drums :
God bless marty friedman. Nice playing though.

Marty Friedman
its sounds like a marty friedman song. guess touring with him does rub off
Who is he? He's listened to a lot of Steve Morse.
He is Jordan Ziff - he is the real deal: he is in Ratt and with Marty Friedman )
