A pretty great guitar with a minimalistic touch
Koki, the shredder-wannabe from Zagreb 12.10.2024
For 20 years I hated the floyd rose with regards to tuning and the volume knob that gets in the way of playing. I frankly don't know why I suffered for this long.

After purchasing this guitar, my playing technique got way better and I can shred cleaner because of the right hand position that comes to me more naturally at an angle with straight fingers, which I can now do due to the lack of the damned knob in the vicinity of the bridge pickup. A real relief, I must say. The sound is quite good, though I could wish for more sustain. The guitar is also quite light compared to other guitars I played, which is a plus for playing for hours while standing, although I must say it does have a bit of a neck dive. And due to this lightness, it may kind of wobble if you are playing aggressively, but nothing that you can't handle with a bit of more focus. Easily accessible thrust rod adjustment near the neck pickup is such a great feature! These are my first locking tuners on a guitar, and I am pretty satisfied, though the guitar doesn't hold tuning that perfect it holds it good enough. I use 56/11 strings in standard D tuning. Still haven't used it live, though. The looks are fu**ing amazing, I love it! Plain and simple, no bullshit stuff, although the paintjob is kind of cheap. My first impression was a bit disappointing, but after playing it for a month or so, now I think the guitar rocks! I will not buy other guitar any time soon, and this one is definitely worth the purchase, though it could be somewhat lower in price in my opinion. I don't care that it is a signature guitar.

Overall, having in mind that no guitar will ever be perfect, and if you can live with some of the cons (which you might not find as cons), I do recommend the purchase. :)

Great vfm guitar but...
dim stel 15.04.2021
purchased this guitar about a month ago, really suprised with charvel's features (compound radius, neck graphite reinforcements, locking tuners, great sounding bridge PU although is a duncan designed ) in a 500 euro guitar. But when I played open strings (B,D,A) , there was a strange metal buzz/rattle (not fret buzz , I checked it).Turned out to be the nut (cheapish- generic material from the factory) that caused all this horrible noise (note: I play with daddario xl 11 to 49) ... So strongly recommend swapping this out for a tusq xl one from graph tech

Wonderful Beast, with some setbacks
urobert 09.06.2022
Hands down most beautiful guitar I ever touched.
Wonderful output on bridge pickup. Cant get enoguh of it.

Now to the bad side.

Was a little bit disappointed with "shakey" neck pickup. I know that pickups are mounted on 2 mounting screws and they are subject to moving. But they should not move while you play guitar. Bad look for guitar that is suposedly checked and "set up" prior to shipping.

I know that it is possible that bridge pickup got damaged in shipping but i thik that is unlikely because rest of the guitar and package did not have any damages.

Overall, I am very happy with the guitar, but for that price i should not have to fix anything.

Please note that when I say "that price" I mean that standard in my country is low so this mid range guitar is actually quite expensive for me.

Please excuse my bad english.

Great value for the price, solid construction
mxdb 29.01.2019
This guitar is an extremely great value for the price, to be honest. It comes well packaged, and it offers some great specs such as the graphite-reinforced oiled neck, the ebony fingerboard and the good quality hardtail bridge. The lack of the tone knob may be a problem for someone, but I expect this guitar to be used mainly for modern metal (and distorted sounds). One minor drawback is the pickup selection: the Duncan Designed models are not that bad, but I find that the neck pickup is not as good as the bridge one. Still recommended!

Great feeling guitar, but the finish wasnt the best
bored at work 21.03.2023
Straight out of the box i noticed the paint job had black dots in it, some were a little speckles of black on the front and the back.

But, the guitar played like a dream and for me, its sounds great. It played so well i didnt want to return it in case it didnt compare to it. I play metal only and i love playing with this guitar. i wasnt expecting to like the neck as much as i did.

Negatives: Black Speckles on the guitar finish, the bridge is too straight to the strings on my guitar, dent in the neck, small split on fretboard, had to bring guitar to a shop to get frets levelled.

Positives: Sounds great for me but i only play metal, the neck feels great, great guitar for the price but has since gone up, aesthetically looks killer, and plays like it too.

Nice "metal" guitar with classic look. Needs split-coils to be more flexible
frosby 26.09.2020
Made realy good, but pickup switch have backlash (much more than you expect from 500 euro guitar). Very high output pickups. It overdrives even clean amp chanel. It's okay for metal guitar, but it will be much more flexible with split-coil option. Pickups is seumour duncan designed and have 4 wires. It will be easy to add split coil.
Neck feels cmooth and comfortable. Guitar looks great - simple and clear.
