chavilbus « Very good guitar Charvel Japan 80 years »
Published on 01/01/12 at 09:01The guitar was made in Japonen 1987 (although it is engraved "Fort Woth Texas" plate on the handle) It has a locking vibrato T6 Jackson licensed Floyd Rose. The body is basswood, the neck very flat and very pronounced u in maple with a rosewood fingerboard. The benchmark consists of round spots and not the famous shark teeth of the brand. The head is trianguliare but not reversed, the mechanics are Jackson SG38-06 oil bath. Three microphones, two simple plots apprentice, a double with a plastic cover of the blocks, a 5 position selector strat type, volume 1 tone. It is bright red!
UTILIZATION
The neck is thin and fast, the classic Start shape with chamfers, access is standartd acute (22 cases). For sound there are two different guitars: the double ring metal jackson 80/90 very specific beacoup sustain very rich (an exmple, the solo of this piece are made with dual http://www.riffworld. com / Members / chavilbus / promised)
On simple, they look like tex mex fender, it sounds very warm and blues (given the odd shape). I find the grave excellent for SRV (eg http://www.riffworld.com/Members/chavilbus/goingtodallas or http://www.riffworld.com/Members/chavilbus/alleycatfastblues
For intermediate positions, it's clean and classic strat slamming (I did change the position for only two double coil that connect with the micro environment. I find the sound of these mics excellent but Jackson 's estaffaire taste
SOUNDS
As mentioned above there are two types of sounds: the double sounds saturated (in the clear is acid and ugly and it is not made for it) great for riffs and solos on the flights or Marshall a Mesa, for the simple is a very good Start (vintage and with a fairly good level of output) for the blues (with a tube screamer is great), but also for funky rhythm or clear harpèges (especially the intermediate positions)
OVERALL OPINION
I have over 20 years. I play it often enough to use a home studio, as stratum or more rarely to rock (in general I prefer the double of my hottest Lespaul for music as I did). I hesitate to sell it for a gain strat mexico but I am attached. In addition it's very good Japanese stringed 1980s, probably difficult to have both now in the range of ridiculous price when I bought it.
