Hi you did a good here explaining and demonstrating the guitar, thanks. I have seen the common mindset about this guitar often, where people act like a company never does anything new, but then they slam anything that a company does that is new. Or go off on how the new features aren’t new or useful enough. I don’t get it, I can see here I could make some great classic sounds, and write some great new ideas with sounds that are more unique. Really cool idea for something a little different and useful, and really cool video demo.
Yesterday at guitar center i played this guitar through a friedman 20 watt head. I'm still trying to figure out what spoke to me, the guitar or the amp?
@@vedder10 Mostly because I prefer the more vintage LP tone and shorter scale length of the 594. The Split coils are great but not very Strat like. If you want more versatility and want to get more stratty/tele tones, the 509 is better. The 509 is a 'Super Strat' to rival Ibanez for example. It can be used as a SSS, HSS, HSH or SSH and as such can get those traditional Positions 2/4 on a strat - the middle SC with either the neck/bridge SC (or HB if you prefer) - the same options you get on an Ibanez Super Strat. it has a longer scale length (25.25") and great trem too. The Pups are quite modern sounding too so its a very different guitar. The 594 is a vintage Les Paul with the extra bonus of coil splitting but its coil split HB's more than a SC sound. It has a more vintage feeling neck too and a short scale length (24.594") so its great vintage LP alternative. As you can see, they are very different instruments and I prefer the more vintage LP style. My 509 tends to be used when I want something more modern sounding or need some more authentic SC tones but I don't find I need that as much so it doesn't get played as often.
nice guitar, great playing, i love versatile machines like this but id probably save a fortune and buy an ibanez az, certainly not as pretty but just as good
just took a look, nice guitar but only a 5 way, the ibanez has 10 tones plus stainless steel frets, i was also looking at a chapman ml1 pro modern which is very nice and a prs s2 single cut standard, but the ugly ibanez still wins through for me, its got it where it counts
Install a push-pull pot,on the tone knob,bam you have 10 tone variations.Doesn't cost that much and is a pretty easy task to do.Also,the Charvel has real Duncans,not ''designed by S.Duncan'' pickups,like the Ibanez. I would wait,until Winter NAMM 2019,because I'm sure Charvel will release some more variations of this series.
yes you can install a push pull but you still have to wire it up to what you want it to do , i dont like modifying guitars, if i like what it does off the rack, thats it, as for the pickups if they sound good to me then i dont really care what they are or where they are from and they sound fine, the ibanez also has stainless steel frets, and i love stainless steel frets, ive gigged my parker fly relentlessly most nights since 2001, and theres barely any fret wear, and as shiny as when i got it
My Epi LP has far, far more tonal possibilities. Two SD triple-shots surrounding P-rail pups, phase reversal, parrallel/series switching and a rotary switch to get the best out of the P-rails. That only cost me £250 all done. You do the maths. 4x4x2x2x6 = 394? Or you could spend thousands to get nine tones.
That's a biased opinion though. I could say the same for my guitar. This is probably the right guitar for right person. I don't think I'd spend my money on it either, but I cannot afford it so that's me out of the equation regardless lol
The only people who complain about the price of a guitar are those who can't afford it. I can tell the difference between a 250quid and £2500 guitar. Is it 10times the guitar? No. But doesn't mean its not worth it. Going up between 2.5k and 5k, is it twice the guitar? No. But it doesn't mean its not worth it. I could go on
