Mundo Juillerat, do you also have had problems -like me- with intonation this bridge?

EXCELLENT REVIEW. THANKS FOR POSTING IT.

Good review ! What string gauge did you use ?

do you mind sharing some of the mod specifics?

looks great now!

I have the American version of the Charvel Guthrie. It is my favorite guitar. You are right - the neck is the star. I have owned and played nearly every brand. The Charvel just feels comfortable and makes me play faster and smoother with less effort.

Absolutely killing it

Thank you so much for this video. It really uncovered the cons of having the cable output jack built this way. The best position for the cable would be like the Aries 2 from Kiesel. That is at the back in an angle upwards.

Most non-locking trems won't stay in tune. Only a few do. Suhr makes high quality guitars. Can't go wrong with that. Other good non-locking trem guitars are the Yngwie Malmsteen strat, and Music Man Ernie Ball guitars. The Vegatrem seems to be good also. And if you didn't know the Hipshot trem sucks like 90% of the non-locking trems out there. I just watched another review video of this guitar and the guy did a live trem abuse tuning test. That guitar stayed in tune. He bought it second hand and had a set of 10's on it. If I I am correct you had put 9's on this guitar? If that is the case then for best results the nut needs to be replaced as well because in the factory the nut has been cut for 10's. In theory many say it wouldn't make a difference but I disagree.

Very melodic!😂

well, that's funny. Today i saw your CharvelGovan Videos for the 1st time. I bought that guitar modell 2 years ago and i had almost the same (frustrating) experiences. That guitar was and is killer, i love the speedy neck and the Pickups are very versatile. So last year i found the Sophia Trem in the internet and i had a very nice and informative conversation with the sophia guys asking me how strong the trem should be etc. After a few weeks i got the Sophia Trem 2.92 (same modell as you got, Mundo). Installing was easy, just a micrometer dremel drilling and now the problems are long forgotten.😊 Good luck with all your work horses....i feel with you being a free lanced musician myself.

Thanks for the video! It's a shame that a guitar of this price has this problem. I've been able to get $100 guitars with shitty-trem tune better than this Charvel. Knowing that the nut wasn't the problem, I'm wondering if the springs clamp screws are the problem. It's weird but I've had this happen before. Those screws moved every time I pressed the bar. I had to plug the hole with a dowel and re-drill the hole to fix the problem.

Very George Harrison-like.

Is this stereo? I mean, if I use a keyboard with stereo FX, does it render ok? Thanks in advance!

Congrats man. Definitely considering that bridge for my GG MJ

I have one with the same exact problem. Looking at the foam in the back, that’s designed to mute the strings, I wonder if it is hampering the springs. That might be the problem…but I’m gonna take it to Sweetwater soon, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll be forced to return it. :(

What was ya video about. Comparing the gearbox to a peace of crap. About as bad as his playing

Mundo sold me on this amp, got one today, just in black…confirmed everything worked on the unit today and charged it up!Tomorrow, I will dive, more in-depth with the mic and guitar! Cheers mate 🇨🇦 Although….now that I think about it, I do have a question? 1) is the DI post or pre effects? 🇨🇦😋

Does the ncx3 have a truss rod ? Thanks 😊

Can you adjust reverb mix (wetness)?

Great sound samples. I'd buy this guitar based upon the pickup / mic configuration alone. I wish newer guitar models would offer a rechargeable battery insert for the on-board power supply. Maybe something that could be developed and inserted the same as the battery tray?

I am inclined to believe that "Mic" means Mic. and I am not going to buy that there are samples mixed in, 1) because the electronics to trigger and store samples would cost more than putting a small Mic into the closed body, where it would be both isolated and get a very hot signal. 2 ) because the mix on that side is called "Mic"

Thanks for the Video! Im 65 and decided to learn guitar... I was going straight for aa Les Paul Studio not a traditional choice I know. Then I cam across this Yamaha. i like it. To learn and to grow for my personal enjoyment. What do you think.?

Guthrie himself talks about using "nut sauce" as well as the floyd style bridge. I guess there is a reason you still see him use his USA models most of the time. It's definitely just a unique marketing thing, the gotoh 510 has been used for years and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I love Charvel but there's no denying they make some weird choices sometimes, and their quality control needs drastic improvements

Dude, you didn't give up on it and now you have a way cooler guitar. That guitar looks awesome. Totally worth it imo!!! Also, I agree on the forearm contour without even having played that model, forearm contours should be pretty well comfy. That trem with that color looks better also.

Hi, is this louder than Roland Cube Street EX

Is it good as Boss cube street?

Super awesome demo! Thank you. I just bought a Yamaha NTX5. Do you by chance know if the guitar you demoed has the same electronics as the one I just bought?

This is weird. I have plenty of guitars that return to perfect pitch with Gotoh's or Gotoh-style trems. Maybe it's the nut?

wow. 2500 buck signature model, no way worth the money. Definetly low budget guitar with sanme attached to bring the price from around 500 buck into 2500. Pretty dissapointing.

excellent demo thank you :) waht track you shred @14:17 ? sounds like django reinhardt :)

Seems to me like you could have bought an Ibanez S Prestige or Premium for half the price and gotten everything you wanted. Ultra light, rock solid tuning, super fast neck, cool looks, better build quality, etc.

A $2700 guitar with a cheaply made bridge, a crappy selector, and won't stay in tune? That's simply unacceptable. I have no idea why you stayed with this guitar and put in so much effort. You can buy a thousand different guitars for half the price that will perform better.

nice playing! But that guitar sounds truly awful. I couldn't imagine having to listen to a whole set with that thing.

Cool. I checked this guitar out in a store today. Sounds good, but I found, it‘s incredible heavy compared to my other classical guitars. In the store they said, it has to do with the technique inside. What do you think?

Congrats on the Gig!! I'm thinking about auditioning this year , would love to hear more about the audition process. 🙏

Nice review , had the same Problems with 3 USA models in a store... They don´t will stay in tune ...

Thank you.

Just throw that guitar away and get something serious. I don’t think I would put my time and money into that guitar. Definitely not worth it for me.

How about vega trem?

If you are still able to pull sharp on the Sophia then what are the posts on the trem block doing? They don't look like they are touching the body when in the zero position so I don't understand their benefit? Also what phone tuner are you using? Is that one that comes with the Spark app? Mundo it sucks that you had to put all of that time, effort and money into a very expensive guitar. Expectations of perfection when buying a $3000 guitar should be very close to justified upon delivery IMO. Thanks for the effort!! These vid were very informative.

I remember watching the first two videos. I thought you had given up on the guitar. I'm glad you got the tuning issues fixed.
