Published on 02/12/13 at 07:07Solid body guitar, Telecaster shape body type
22 frets maple neck bolted unvarnished cut on quarter, head shape Strato
Key offset radius maple unvarnished, non REPORTED: the handle IS button
Pink Floyd "non ressessed", ie without knockouts in the body
2 Seymour Duncan
1 volume
Cover sold.
Range of guitar output between 2002 and 2007, made in the USA in California, taking the spirit of the 80s Charvel, ie strat improved. The brand belongs to Fender last fifteen years. The redemption Fender decided to relaunch the brand successfully recreating models of the 80's and very affordable price (about € 1,000 at the time of nine), but in quantities very limited. Every three months a new range of color was born. Mine is black (Black Mint), but there have been as improbable as various colors (purple sequined yellow indescribable mochetée green way stabilo, etc ... You could say that I had a bowl of finding in black). Now, the operation was a success Charvel, these models are only available in japanese manufacturing, only the Custom Shop guitars are still made in California, USA. Anyway, in conclusion, a good instrument. I take two points for a flightcase was nicer than the cover.
UTILIZATION
Its handle is incredible because it is not varnished, as the key, it fits neatly in the hand, even after long hours of gaming.
MORE: unparalleled comfort
LEAST: because it is not varnished, it is not protected, and very quickly takes a gray color to places where we camped. Personally, I love it. We see very quickly places the handle or we used to play.
The Floyd when he is very good at his job. It is not embedded in the body of the guitar, but is placed at a sufficient height to be pulled up and two good note and half tones. This is because the handle spring over the body, if you look at the guitar on the edge. If such an arrangement with the handle Floyd was down in the body, the strings would affect the key and the instrument was simply unplayable.
I put 10 because it is the top.
SOUNDS
With these two Seymour Duncan pickups controlled by a three position selector, it sends a lot, especially in big records sounds. It's a bit like falling to his knees on the gravel: it hurts.
on the other hand, its former owner, who committed the mistake of selling it (Shhh!! Could read me) had the brilliant idea to make up a split. So, in addition to sounds bags filled with gravel, one obtains sounds very ... stratabound on the neck pickup and middle position, and very télécasteroïde (it's hard to write that word - and also say, try to say it 20 times without skinning and I offer my guitar) on pickup.
Thus, although modified electronic level (but after all that's the spirit Charvel) this guitar is more versatile and has the original. So I put 10.
OVERALL OPINION
To be honest, at first I was not a fan of the body shape telecaster. I even considered replacing it with a strat shaped body. But ultimately, the guitars of this type having a strat shaped body is legion, have a guitar Shreder (which I'm not - oh it not) form telecaster me seems more exotic and friendly. So suddenly, I keep it as it is.
Though at the time I had the opportunity to buy new, I would have done without hesitation. I got caught up in finding the OCCAZ 20 minutes from my house. A sign of destiny that would have sent the god rock'n'roll? In short, if vou cross in one hand, go for it!
