All user reviews for the Charvel STX Custom

Guitar stratoïde shape, made in Japan for this model, excellent woods. (I do not know the wood can be used for the frène body, maple for the neck and rosewood fingerboard. My old Luthier François Artige (Lag) assured me of the quality of wood used)
Schaller Floyd Rose tremolo.
Handle typical Strat 22 frets.
Pickups Jackson (Update to mine by EMG 89 in the neck position, vintage custom in international and 85 in the bridge.
1 volume knob and 2 tone.

UTILIZATION

At use is very comfortable (manufactured by Fender Strat neck) and good ergonomics is what a strat ...
A vacuum is a guitar that sounds good and vibrates, which it leads ignifie good sound (good quality woods and copy violin, we see too that the more recent guitars).
The sustain is very good (ash body?)
This is a guitar that sounds great and is very versatile (especially update with much better than Jackson EMG). You can do everything: jazz, blues rock, funk, metal ...

SOUNDS

Level sound is just excellent with the EMG kit:
Jazz, warm and accurate at the handle in its clear and double-config. In severe distortion that sings like the Les Paul (I had two). Splite singles found a strat side. Those who know the excellent EMG 89 can confirm.
Inter is very useful for the funk and we find once again the strat side in combination with 89.
The bridge pickup, EMG 85 and say that it is a bomb saturated: powerful, bold and precise as the musicman Luke. Besides this guitar sounds really close to Luke or Lukather models from Valley Art.
Playing with the pots, you can browse all styles crunch, clean and lead remain accurate and friendly.
Basically the sound is vintage and modern at the same time, I know it's strange but I felt the more modern and accurate saturated than strats and Les Paul and warmer than the Ibanez, Jackson and other. It is located between the shred and blues ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have 17 years and I sold it today because I play 7-string, 6-string fretless guitar and flamenco. Before buying, I tried a lot of guitars and still more ... Well, for my part, I do not take Strat, Les Paul, Tele, Prs typed for me too. I found this with a Charvel guitar bringing together the main qualities of the models I love, but one guitar. I love all that Luke (I much prefer the handle of the Charvel) for much less. A sort of Swiss Army Knife with Swiss quality ...
In summary this is a guitar that caters to those looking for a versatile instrument, very good violin, which sounds terrible with a warm vintage side.
I put honest notes, for me it is not perfect, but good. I 've yet to find a perfect guitar ...
