  • In this video I am checking out the BRAND NEW for 2020 Charvel So Ca made in Mexico - seen here in Satin Orange Blaze. The first 2020 model to come to Europe thanks very much to the very generous people at Charvel for sending this fine specimen of a guitar over to try out.
    THIS Guitar: www.charvel.co...
    DISTROKID: distrokid.com/v...
    My Instagram: www.instagram....
    More comfortable than an overstuffed armchair, the So-Cal body is sleekly sculpted out of alder and paired with a rock-solid bolt-on maple neck with a pair of graphite reinforcement rods to handle the ravages of the road and climate. A conveniently located heel-mount spoke wheel allows for rapid truss rod tweaks, even in between songs. Engineered for effortlessly nimble playing, the speed neck profile and 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard with 22 frets is perfect for all styles of play - from low end riffing to soaring leads with worry-free upper-register bends.
    Hot-rodded for unparalleled performance and versatile sound, this instrument hosts a high-output Seymour Duncan® Distortion TB-6 humbucking bridge pickup and a warm, fat Seymour Duncan Distortion SH-6N humbucking neck pickup for killer tone. The volume control hides a push/pull coil split for even more highly useful tonal variations, ideal for everything from a biting lead sound to thick, chunky rhythm work. The no-load tone control operates like a standard tone control from positions one through nine, removing itself from the circuit at position ten for transparent sound, letting the full natural voice of the guitar shine through. Scream or rumble with the Floyd Rose® 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system without sacrificing tuning stability or the pinpoint intonation.
    Born from a love of high-speed playing and designed to inspire, the So-Cal Style 1 HH FR E is available in a Deep Purple Metallic, Gloss Black or Satin Orange Blaze finish with a maple headstock, black pickguard and black hardware.

      G Holmes The top mount Floyd is better for heavy palm muting because there’s much less chance of mashing it down & going sharp.

    • @cletusmax77
      @cletusmax77 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Paul Smith orange is nothing new to Charvel and this model has been around since the 80’s. Schecter had a super strat with a Floyd in the 80’s too but, Charvel did theirs first. Both ripped off fender though.

  • @GinoMarks
    @GinoMarks 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So basically the reason why the SoCal’s are brighter is because the Duncan distortion sets versus the JB/59 that’s used in the San Dimas is a much higher output pick up with a large ceramic magnet as opposed to alnico in the JB’s that means more output and much more trouble it’s brighter and more powerful. on Duncan’s website they actually provide an EQ chart for all the pick ups and you could see that for the distortion set the treble and midrange is really up hope that helps 👍
