ONE MILLION VIEW MONTH?? Let's get it!
And get 20% off all merch! Use code "TWOHUNDO" www.agufish.com
keep making videos and I'll keep watching. I'm kinda new to your channel and I've been doing a deep dive into all the High Itergrity Mods.
You said Fujigen - haven't seen someone do some FGN axes for a few minutes...
What is Charvel doing? The same thing they always have. Make great super strats.
shout out to pringle!
The most important shoutout!
The bestest shoutout for the bestest girl
Prashant is a great guy. I'm happy for his success!
Ya he seems like a solid dude! The Premier Guitar sound guy just did him diirrrrty
Charvel needs to fully embrace their old style Toothpaste Logo and stick with it. I love the blue sparkle. Reminds me of the MM Luke III that Fluff and Ben Eller both bought, but more shreddy
When's the new sig gonna hit Harley Benton?
I’m hearing Q4!
@agufish sweet..I gotta get 1 maybe 2
These guitars all look super cool and have great hardware. It'd be cool if they made hard tail versions of some of these for us non-tremolo players.
They actually have quite a few hardtails right now. SoCal style 1 and 2 both available in hardtails. DK24 as well.
I’m a huge fan of anything MIJ…I currently own 3 MIJ guitars and I’m so jonesing for a Vola…rock on my man👍
I literally just received a MIJ San Dimas a few hours ago. You can see the quality just holding this thing.
@skratchrapture ….agreed!!!!
See. Back in the 80's pao Ferro was considered an upgrade (Hamer used it a lot in its custom models) now it's considered lesser and that's kinda sad.
Suhr and other custom shops still upcharge for pau ferro tho
once again praying for a charvel 7 string someday soon (besides the angel vivaldi one, i hate how it looks lol)
yeah, the lack of any kind of 7 string strat is forcing me to build my own, one day either charvel or squier will make one
Ugh those PG high gain videos... good lord what are they doing
@@rybones1311 Its not even about how much gain they are or are not using, its the dull "we put 20 thick blankets over the speakers" tones they are getting
I got the PA28 as soon as it was announced, and it is a killer double humbucker strat. The LOCKING Wilkinson trem is the best non floyd strat trem you can get. The neck is slim and fantastic. The pickups can do everything.
Tonewoods matter.... because they feel good ...
God bless you, Paul. You're not wrong.
I was lol'ing so hard when you went off on PG, so many of us have been dogging those episode of "Monsters of Migraine".. bahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Fun Fact…Stevie Ray’s no. 1 had a Pau Ferro Fingerboard!!!
Charvel need to go full 80s and bring back the model 2, 6, & 5. Also, they need to bring back the jackson headstock.
whats wrong with the m1 and m3? iv had mine for 20 years and love my M 1 more than any of my other rigs
@@skwissgaar_skwigelf_kdz3251 nothing! which is why they need to bring them back.
Next month we go for 2 Million! Congrats on your best month yet, Hunter!
I’m happy you showed off the Phil Sgrosso Charvel at the end cause I was about to comment that I see it in the back. That thing looks so sick, literally the only “strat” I’ve ever wanted. Can’t wait to see that video!
Pao Ferro fretboards are a great alternative to rosewood, the grain is tight close to ebony and it has its own exotic color.
It should be used for acoustics. Looks wise it's like roasted maple with a lot of busy figuring/striping. To me it looks acoustic not electric. The fact that it doesn't have the heavy grain of rosewood doesn't matter because it's got such a waxy feel with a lot of drag. Maybe it could be okay with extra jumbos where you rarely touch wood but with medium jumbo you feel it all the time.
@@guyincognito320 I actually really like it on my EVH Shark. It looks and feels great with the burgundy & silver. I usually favor ebony on most of my guitars. My 1986 Jackson/Charvel has a nice dark rosewood slab on it. All of my guitars have different tonewoods & pickups, but I'm surprised how little I care. As long as a guitar has a cool vibe and plays well - I'm all for it 😁
The Charvel necks are a big selling point, they feel fantastic, and those new Japanese ones look amazing. I'd love to get more Charvel's, as I love mine. I've only charged a couple of things on the guitar, I don't like the knobs, as I use them a lot, and I like to know where I am. And the trem, the 1000 series is made of dog pooh, so I've had a Schaller lockmiester fitted, is much better. About from that, the guitars great!
Love the pricing on the mij stuff. Also for the Prashant aswani guitar. The biggest surprise with that guitar is that Prashant didn't put his signature EMG revelation set in it. But over all love what charvel is doing. Still holding out for a dk24 hardtail with the roasted maple neck and board.
AZ style cutaway? Lol Charvel have had their shredder’s cut decades before the AZ was released
Born and Raised in Los Angeles. Charvel was nothing like it is today. Long Live The 80's!!!
Love this! I also have a squier Showmaster 7 and Looove that guitar. Slapped the JP bar bridge oickup in it and a buddy had it for a while (got his friend to paint the body white 😭) but put a JP neck pup in and over all this thing RIPS. Gotta try these new Charvels though!!
I've owned 2 different Showmasters, one of which was a 7, and the other of which was formerly painted as the Skull&Bones look. Both were fairly heavily customized when I got them, and all of the customization was gloriously, shamelessly tasteless. Reasonable quality on that series, but owners seem to love using them as mod platforms.
They both played great, but I always feel like I have to give excuses for how they look, since they're shaped like such a classic model, but the owners (myself included) have just gone hog-wild on saying "Yes" to every aesthetic modification idea that popped into their heads.
Keep rocking! Cheers from the Brazilian community in Texas 🇧🇷
I'm going to say it. It's time for Squier to do another collab with Sanrio. The meme is as popular as ever, the timing is good, Aggretsuko just ended and could be part of it, and most importantly: The Squier Sonic series is the perfect platform for such a collab. Go even bigger than the two models the first time around. They'll absolutely sell.
YES
Would really love to see simple single or double H (passive) strats and teles with fixed bridges in the 750-1000 range, no one is really making simple versions of these at the quality/price range
LTD SN-1000 HT
There’s a used one at Chicago music exchange for $640.
Charvel needs to drop Skatecasters again...
The condom marketing statement is a very clever response. LOL Great info!
Love your shit dude! Greetings from Augusta!
Pau Ferro was used in the '90's by Tom Anderson, it was considered premium then :) I had a drop top and regret selling it every day...
Got the Sweetwater DK24 on order! Saw it literally an hour before I watched your video
“Copy my homework but don’t make it too obvious” lol
I’m glad Charvel is keeping their paint shop selections up!
The more the merrier 🤘
My dude, excellent Buc-ee's mug
Thanks bro 🦫
I agree with you on the pau ferro and rosewood and the big metal flake. I also like the open grain finish on swamp wood bodies, that green glow looks like that type of finish.
Sorry im late to this video apparently lol. Just started watching you end of last year and love your channel brother! I seen the 2 green glow guitars and was like hell they are the same, but then i was like i bet charvel has coil splits. And yep there ya go charvel Dimarzio with splits and Jackson with Duncans.
Sad for not shouting out the Marco Sfogli Charvel. Not only is he an incredible player but his signature model is beautiful
Sound guys did the Hughes & Kettner dirty
Im a fender strat guy, digging these charvels is so easy
I have many guitars, Paul's, SG's, strats, my go to is a Chavel, love the vid man, thanks!🇨🇦
What I like about the Charvel is the San Dimas guitars they have become like a Strat or Tele never out of style. Zero redundancy. They are like Levis 501 jeans and Converse all Stars shoes. You never look foolish wearing them no matter what the latest style is. With everything else it is planned obsolescence, especially guitars. In stores the should all have a warning tag hanging from them. This guitar is subject to iPhone-itus, buy carefully, lol
finally , they put san dimas with 24 frets in the website
Stone mountian Georgia is cool. I would recommend people visiting
when they say thin skin they mean it. the matte black socal 2's are thinly finished and my guitar looks like a relic after only 4 years of daily use.
Fun fact: about 4 years ago I leaked a guitar made for slash to Troglys it was the Bolivian dream because I happen to know the guy who runs the company that sells to Gibson custom shop all the south American woods (Ronay Tonewoods) and back then I told Austin that Bolivian Rosewood it is actually a commercial name for pau ferro. So, Hunter, if you don't see the name Pau Ferro Bering used that often anymore it is because the industry started to call the it Bolivian Rosewood. But it is the same thing.
It's been years since I last saw something with Aswani, he had some DOPE ESPs!
LOL you slaughtered that premier guitar series
saw a fender strat with a pau ferro fretboard, was the nicest looking fretboard ive seen in a lighter brown colour, 100% liked it more then rosewood or wenge
I’m all over one of those MIJ Charvels. I have the pro mod dk24 in poplar burl and I adore that guitar. Always thought I was more of a Jackson guy over Charvel but I may be changing my tune.
Hu hu you said "Bone" Bonus!!!😜👍
That aqua flake San Dimas is so cool, and since I can't afford the Music Man Luke III with that same sort of finish, this is a strong contender.
Ooooo i live Charvel ive had 3 different desolation series guitars they rock still got 2 of them and they sell higher used than when they where new pretty freaking awesome
Hunter, I'm old-school enough to remember Charvel and Jackson as a guitar company independent of Fender. I think that when I got the first of my Charvels, the company was called Jackson/Charvel. (At least, that nomenclature appeared on the headstock of that guitar. Jackson was the high-end segment of the company, while Charvel was more second tier. This made sense back then, as Wayne Charvel had sold his firm to Grover Jackson, and Grover was running the place. OF COURSE he put his own name on the good stuff.
Cut to the present and Charvel guitars are so far out of my range as to be beyond aspirational! Jackson, however, I've gotten -- once. Best neck I have! Beats the living HELL out of my almost-TOO-Fender-like Donner DST-400s. Yes, plural -- I got two. Might mean I have to buy another Jackson ...🤔😎
I have one from that era! I got it at such a good price used. It needed some work (new kahler bridge and a fretboard chip repair), but it cleaned up so nicely and plays well now. It cost me $1000aud all up, or around $650usd. I thought about selling, but I wouldn't be able to replace this one easily, so it stays. MIJ is quite expensive now 😆
Im not usually a charvel fan but that aqua flake has me really thinkin about how cool a san dimas might be
I payed 1750 euros for my MJ Jackson and can't be happier. Top notch craftsmanship
I'm kinda old now. I do believe Charvel was part of Jackson, before Fender bought them. They were tied together in the 80s/90s.🤔
joensing so hard for that HSS in Lambo Green
I got a Pau Ferro MX Fender Strat. Was surprised how much I liked it.
Was just wondering about Charvel . Lol
I have zero issues with Jackson and Charvel sharing finishes. Just as long as Fender or Squier doesn't start using them on their line of guitars.
I'm still waiting for a San Dimas with a tremolo!
The MJ San Dimas guitars are £2429 in the UK, which is about $3130, ouch!
i wish they were 1799€ in germany. due to some customs and import stuff, they're a grand more. 2799€ is msrp, thomann sells them at 2300€ street price. it's crazy to me, because usually the US and German prices are the same, just switch the $ for € and you're good to go, but for some stupid reason not in this case. it drives me mad, cause i wanted one of these. i went to my local store and the guy responsible for aquisition even called the european fender distribution, cause we both thought it's was just a typo that they went from 1.799 to 2.799 in msrp, but no, it's the real price.
You should try and get the PA28 and that Sweetwater one. I need to know if I need all black drop C Strat in my life.
I know of Prashant Aswani feom EMGtv years ago. He had some tasty tracks there, it was pretty sick.
It’s not listed in the specs but I’m pretty sure the two Jim Root signatures have thin skin paint jobs as well
yes!!! fujigen is hands down the best import fab on earth, FIGHT ME! and pao ferro is sexy. i had a full pf neck made and it just feels luxury.
hey there, where did you get the racks where you store your amps?
Premier audio;
I noticed that too!
The amps all sound the SAME, all badly tapped!
😬
This makes me miss my Charvel which I had to sell earlier this year 😢
Pau Ferro just feels well "cheap" to me. It just reminds me of some of the lower grade Rosewoods but I'm partial to the more porous, wider grain rosewood.
Only thing I don't love on the Ashanti signature is the rosewood. I'd prefer ebony or maple. The pups sound excellent, it's a great feeling neck, like the 2 point trem rather than the floyd rose
Bought a SoCal Style 1 Hardtail in Pharaohs Gold like 3 months ago and it is crazy good, totally recommend. I’d take the Charvel over my Fender 60th anniversary Strat and my LTD MH1000 9 out of 10 times.
Pushing 9 lbs and a blocky neck joint. Comes in JB and ceramic JB. Most uninspired brand out there.
@@guyincognito320 mine weights in at about 7lbs (sorry - Euro Guy here, it’s 3,28kg to be exact) and has 2 Duncan SH6s, so I dunno which guitar you played. 🤷🏻♂️
@herzalhc yeah my mistake, I was referring to ones with a floyd. The HT ones are usually around 7 lbs 14. FR models often 8 lbs 14
The San Dimas model was given its name from the town it was made in
Been trying to find the specs on the charvel necks. Anyone have a source for the thickness at first and twelfth frets?
man they really wont do another san dimas style 2
Pretty sure the USA Jim Roots have a thin skin lacquer although they call it something different
When you say ebony & maple feel quicker, what do you mean?
Do your fingers actually touch the fingerboard wood when playing?
damn when charvel first came back and had the japanese pro mods with rolled fingerboard edges they were only like $800
I fell in love with the MIM Pro-Mod San Dimas which I use as my everyday workhorse guitar. I just bought the Sweetwater DK24R Exclusive. It’s B@d @ss 🔥🙂
Ever thought about taking a 2nd look at Hardluck Kings? I've noticed that they toned down the douche-baggery around their brand and some of their LP models look fairly nice. They also
got rid of the brass knuckle inlays. I'd like to pick one up, but don't know if it's worth it.
The feel of a fingerboard material stopped mattering to me once I was able to stop using a deathgrip on the neck. If I'm in the groove, I don't rally touch the fingerboard at all. Unless, of course, it's my Epi from the 60's. Those frets are DONE! lol The only fingerboard I'll hold no truck with is glossed maple. When my fingers do touch it, it feels sticky and gross. I also take the gloss finish off guitar necks when they come stock with it. My Brent Hinds signature V is probably worthless now, but at least it's comfortable to play. Raw wood with just a bit of oil. Yeah.
i like pau ferro very much for the same reasons as you do. i hope harley benton goes more for pau ferro instead of roasted shitoba. of course roasted maple is fine too 😁
Really wish charvel would do the jim root model in a hardtail model
Hey hunter
I need your opinion
What looks better: the white charvel with gold hardware or white with black hardware
prashant aswani is one oof the greatest guitartists in my worthless opinion , his teacher was greg howe who played for michael jackson, prashant also played for justin timberlake, christina millian and his melodies are timeless , I still listen to his first album from 2008
I always think of Bill and Ted when I see Charvels. San Dimas.
i wish it had a case and ss frets at this price
Was hoping for more dk hardtail models.
Have you ever reviewed Duesenberg Guitars?
I've always preferred maple neck strats....dunno why, I guess cause that's what I started on.
Midnight Glow is just Holcomb Burst, right?
Honestly kinda wish they had some more hard tail models in the new lineup but I’m not complaining
What I don't understand is, 4 years ago when Charvel first released the Suhr/AZ style dk24s they put Charvel back on the map. Not that they were unpopular, but they were very niche. Hair metal style guitars, But the DK24s were groundbreaking, and they became some of the greatest value for money superstrats you can get in my opinion. All of a sudden, Charvels were for everyone including jazz players. Why haven't they put more effort into that line??? How many Ibanez AZ models/colours/signatures are there now, 20?! And yet Charvel has about 6 pro-mod models. Mostly all with solid colours, nothing like artistic burst finishes that you can find with Ibanez, Musicman sterling etc..
Ummm Hello? Jackson and Charvel are not infringing on each other guitars. They are simply buying a model from a Chinese manufacturer and putting their own headstock on it.
Dean And Luna use the same manufacturer for their "St Augustine" and "Art Vintage" guitars respectively. They Might be decent guitars, I really don't know, but its common for Big Brands to purchase inexpensive guitars in mass, and put their name on them.
Either model will be about the same just with a different name on it.
I so want a Charvel ash in those cool glow colours guitar with a hard-tail. Seems doesn't exist, all have FR or trem...arg, frustrating.
I must admit the premier guitar "intro" thing was absolutely insufferable. Was like someone set out to torture everyone with working eardrums
Love the channel, Hunter, but we do understand that Stone Mountain is a confederate monument, right?
