I have one with the same exact problem. Looking at the foam in the back, that’s designed to mute the strings, I wonder if it is hampering the springs. That might be the problem…but I’m gonna take it to Sweetwater soon, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll be forced to return it. :(
Mundo sold me on this amp, got one today, just in black…confirmed everything worked on the unit today and charged it up!Tomorrow, I will dive, more in-depth with the mic and guitar! Cheers mate 🇨🇦 Although….now that I think about it, I do have a question? 1) is the DI post or pre effects? 🇨🇦😋
Great sound samples. I'd buy this guitar based upon the pickup / mic configuration alone. I wish newer guitar models would offer a rechargeable battery insert for the on-board power supply. Maybe something that could be developed and inserted the same as the battery tray?
Thank you! About the rechargeable battery idea it's possible and a great idea. My problem (which might only be a me thing) is that to my ears real batteries sound better than rechargeable ones. Weird right? I do use rechargeables in the Mystere show for both Yamaha acoustics. I going to try a new type of rechargeable battery that holds it's full charge until it needs to be recharged. Might do a video when I get it. Thanks again.
I am inclined to believe that "Mic" means Mic. and I am not going to buy that there are samples mixed in, 1) because the electronics to trigger and store samples would cost more than putting a small Mic into the closed body, where it would be both isolated and get a very hot signal. 2 ) because the mix on that side is called "Mic"
Thanks for the Video! Im 65 and decided to learn guitar... I was going straight for aa Les Paul Studio not a traditional choice I know. Then I cam across this Yamaha. i like it. To learn and to grow for my personal enjoyment. What do you think.?
Guthrie himself talks about using "nut sauce" as well as the floyd style bridge. I guess there is a reason you still see him use his USA models most of the time. It's definitely just a unique marketing thing, the gotoh 510 has been used for years and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I love Charvel but there's no denying they make some weird choices sometimes, and their quality control needs drastic improvements
Dude, you didn't give up on it and now you have a way cooler guitar. That guitar looks awesome. Totally worth it imo!!! Also, I agree on the forearm contour without even having played that model, forearm contours should be pretty well comfy. That trem with that color looks better also.
Super awesome demo! Thank you. I just bought a Yamaha NTX5. Do you by chance know if the guitar you demoed has the same electronics as the one I just bought?
Thank you! And yes same electronics but the NTX5 should have a thinner neck with upgraded tone woods. Walnut back and sides, ebony fingerboard and European Sitka spruce top. But double check those stats to make sure I’m right haha?? I’m just going by my memory!
I have Gotoh in my Suhrs and Strat like greens they are great. Return to zero awesome with abuse. This Charvel didn’t come with a Gotoh but their own bridge-which at least for this one gtr wasn’t not made well. Love the axe and actually found the solution on the Part 3 video.
@@mundojuillerat thanks, I've watched part 3. It's quite a shame that a guitar of this level, at least yours, had this issue. I have cheaper guitars that don't have that problem. My Fender Ultra returns to pitch even after incredible abuse, right out of the box and I didn't need to set it up. After 3 years it remains tune solid. Same for my Ibanez AZ (made in the same factory as this Charvel I believe). Even my Cort has better tuning stability. Just a shame.
wow. 2500 buck signature model, no way worth the money. Definetly low budget guitar with sanme attached to bring the price from around 500 buck into 2500. Pretty dissapointing.
Thank you I appreciate it! That is a gypsy jazz song called "Made In France" by Bireli Lagrene. (check it out to hear how it really goes!). I have a gypsy jazz band called "The Hot Club of Las Vegas" We have three albums on all digital platforms if you want to take a listen? Thanks again!
@@mundojuillerat aah yes, that track I have the one with Joscho duetto on my playlist video can be found with name "Made in France ⎮Bireli Lagrene & Joscho Stephan"
Seems to me like you could have bought an Ibanez S Prestige or Premium for half the price and gotten everything you wanted. Ultra light, rock solid tuning, super fast neck, cool looks, better build quality, etc.
A $2700 guitar with a cheaply made bridge, a crappy selector, and won't stay in tune? That's simply unacceptable. I have no idea why you stayed with this guitar and put in so much effort. You can buy a thousand different guitars for half the price that will perform better.
Cool. I checked this guitar out in a store today. Sounds good, but I found, it‘s incredible heavy compared to my other classical guitars. In the store they said, it has to do with the technique inside. What do you think?
Some people have no problem, but it does seem to be a very common "tuning" problem for a lot of people like us. I just posted Part 3 of this series last week and share how I fixed the issue with a Sophia 2:92 tremelo. Check it if you haven't and thanks for your comment!
I totally hear you! Definitely would've been easier to buy another Suhr, but ultimately I'm glad I stuck with it and now have a solid and somewhat custom axe.
If you are still able to pull sharp on the Sophia then what are the posts on the trem block doing? They don't look like they are touching the body when in the zero position so I don't understand their benefit? Also what phone tuner are you using? Is that one that comes with the Spark app? Mundo it sucks that you had to put all of that time, effort and money into a very expensive guitar. Expectations of perfection when buying a $3000 guitar should be very close to justified upon delivery IMO. Thanks for the effort!! These vid were very informative.
Hello, the “posts” your asking about are actually spring loaded Stabilizers We have a variety of lengths and tensions The HD (heavy duty) are so stiff you can break a string and still finish your song live But more importantly there’s absolutely no arm dive during string pulls!

Big Mahalos Braddahs! I'm not a chugger I just play one in the studio (for sessions ha!) These shorts are all part of the Solar Chug demo video I did. I really appreciate all your comments!
@@mundojuillerat I’ve been chugging the entire 34 years of my guitar playing. I never really branched out to be able to do what you do. But we do both pretty good mean Hawaiian look. I was born on Maui. But now unfortunately call Nebraska home.
I have this amp. I'm generally happy with it but the internal battery went bad after 2 years of use. Now I use an inverter with a small lithium battery to power it. It would be nice if it had an easy to replace battery. I'm seeing other owners with this same complaint.
