Great to see someone showing some decent clean tones on a rock guitar!!

7:20...that harmonic though

This is exactly the type of guitar that was being rocked in early to mid 80s on the Sunset Strip on the stages of the whisky a go go, the Roxy and Gazzaris. This guitar was the in guitar to have and be seen with back then and they all joined the queue to get one custom made at Grover Jackson’s shop over in Glendora / San Dimas. First it was bastardised strats and I mean seriously butchered, there were real vintage 60s strats being painted over in bright colours, routed, drilled and filled to take a floyd. Many vintage gems were destroyed. Then this model came and changed the way guitars were made to this day. The San Dimas strat guitar is a piece of rock history.

Killer Vito Bratta licks in there man!

Man, Charvel should hire you!

Christ - you know _ALL_ the best riff's. This video is a treat to my ears :-) Great to see a San Dimas delivering the goods as well!

What a nice tone, riffs and playing! You’re a master in these 80’s stuff!

Absolutely superb sounds and playing. Love the gold hardware too. Best sounding clean tones I've ever heard on a superstrat. Great job!

Really usefull demo and what a pleasure to hear all these famous riffs !!

Absolutely love the clean sounds!!!

Awesome demo!! Rocco your playing is amazing love all the old stuff in there, great tones clean and distorted!

I’ve seen this 30 times. Your playing is just something else man.

Very inspiring video. Beautiful guitar, killer tone and amazing playing!!! Keep on rocking, man!!!

Sounds incredible! You make it look so effortless too

You could put a button killswitch where your volume knob used to be. It wouldn’t get in the way of your switch and would give you that cool stutter effect. Eddie van halen has a few guitars out with EVH that have them now. They’re pretty fun and a cool, simple effect. Great video tho!🤘🏻

Terrific review. Lots of tasty riffs, tones, and, technique. You're a superb player!!

Great playing and man what a beautiful looking & sounding guitar! Love the gold hardware & upgrades you made to it. Now I want one!!

One hell of a demo! Sick playing!

I was on the fence about buying this guitar, but Rocco sold me !!! These tones are absolutely SICK!! :)

Been considering a superstrat...this is the sound I want.. Thanks for the broad clean coverage...most demos just deathmetal everything.

Yeah! Light Up The Sky! Great job. Excellent mix of classic tunes, well done!

Excellent review. Just bought one and can't wait to get it. You play great and my type of music.

How you received any 👎 is beyond me. One of the best reviews of any guitar. Playing is perfect.

I WANT IT!!!!!!

So much enjoyment watching such awesome clean ripping. Best vid thank you.

Outstanding Rocco. Nice gold hardware swap and switching options. Carv-awesome!

Bellissima.. suoni fantastici sia clean che distorti. Gli anni 80 regnano!

Great combination of Seymour Pickups....the 59/JB are amazing....you get a lot of guitar for the money! Thanks for a great overview!

All those killer 80s riffs - you're a badass player Rocco! \m/_

Wow Rocco, just incredible playing as always. Killer axe, that one is!

Excellent stuff!!! I really enjoyed this demo. Very well done :)

Fantastic playing. You nailed everything!

Great song selection thru all pickup position , good job Rocco

Rocco, I take my hat off. Very good job pal.

Nice video man, awesome tones and guitar

I could sit and listen to your tone all day the tone you have is great

That clean tone is amazing! Reminds me of the band Novembre.

Woah. Came for the review, stayed for the sick 80s riffage. I thoroughly enjoyed the high gain part of this video, those were some killer riffs man! You're one hell of a player.

very good video and guitar playing! amazing tones too!

Very nice sound and great style! Enjoyed watching and listening to you play.

Super covering vito bratta in here ;) way cool

What a beauty! Some tasty tasty licks too Rocco. Awesome 👏🏻

These are such great guitars....great playing man! \m/

So many awesome songs and the tone is incredible!!!

Great demo and fantastic playing 👍🏻

Damn Rocco... the amount of control you have on a guitar, you're incredible man!!

It's nice to nice someone showing props to Nuno's excellent and groove-tastic playing!! ;)

Superb playing! Awesome!

Thanks for this Beaty clean tones!!!

You are the king of 80s rock...

Excellent playing, old school riffs are the best 👍🤘💯

Fantastic playing man. You could have been up on any stage in the 80's.

Your best video and playing by far! Superb, Rocco!!

You are a wonderful player! One of the best I've ever seen. I've been watching you for a while now. I knew every song you were playing in this entire video. We love the same music, that's clear to me. The tones on that guitar are fantastic. I never thought about splitting inner and outer coils on a dual humbucker guitar before. I've always played H-S-S as a result. I'm going to wire up a dual hum guitar the way you did this one. Outstanding video!!!

Diggin' the beard bro, playing is good too as always

Wow....I've never heard someone play WASP during a guitar demo before!! Nice to hear Mean Man! Great sounding guitar!

damn...great idea with the gold hardware...looks great!! Rock on!

Wow two songs off Hey Stoopid, funny thing is I got myself 2 Charvels today. Great stuff Rocco!

Fantastic demo, the best i have seen. May have to sell a guitar and get one of these. Great playing by the way. Really impressive. Thanks.

Great demo and playing dude.

great playing, great demo

Killer line-up of pieces, fun shit dude 🤘

Thumbs up, for "Time To Surrender" riff at 9:55! You are awesome dude!

Absolutely killing it bro 😸

Best demo ever.

Man, I rreeeaaaaaallllyyyyyyyyy want one of these. Great stuff!

Superb Playing :) I definitely want this guitar now.

Awesome playing!

Ha! this medley of tunes...that tone...you may be my new favorite guitar player! 😂

F****** great job man!! You nailed every riff....🎸👍

Great playing!!

Bravissimo, Rocco!

Great playing and tone rock on🤘

Just got my "chlorine" San Dimas today. Nice chops, Rocco!

This is a fantastic video!

I love listening to all those licks from the 80s... best of the best!

Looks sick with the Gold hardware. Very nice

Looks great. Great guitar. Had to sub. Great vids. I don't always comment, but always a thumbs up. 👍

Damn. That was just some killer riffage!!

Awesome guitar awesome playing!

I want a Charvel!!!! I love Vitto and Nuno guitar style.

good demo thanks

I believe that was the "folking fury" I just felt by witnessing such fine fretwork!

Love mine, but really like the gold and was planning an replacing mine with black hardware, nice review!

Wow killer tone I like the clean ones as well lol

great taste in music by the way

The most versatile configuration ! My Peavey Vandenberg Quilt tops have it (originally taken from the T-series) John Petrucci later streamlined that for his Ibanez signature series. Washburn used something similar, but not as sweet as this (I'm modding my A20)

Rocco - you da man!! You should do lessons on all these riffs - per episode 👍🏻💥

i love your sound!

nice tones good playin man

Very well played

Very very good repertoire!👏

you play very well love the van halen songs!!!

Great job@

amazing tone....

Light Up the Sky! Bravo.

U are such a fantastic player!
