Fender is notoriously stingy about bringing the best features down through their lineup. Is it because they own companies like Charvel or is it just Fender being Fender? Anyway, enjoy the demo!

To be fair to Fender, I have a modern tele, belly cut, carved maple cap with spalted top, seymour duncan HH pups with coil split, set neck + 14 inche fretboard radius and jumbo frets, so... Admittedly a Korean issue not USA, but it still has fender on teh headstock and is an awesome guitar.

@marcoheerema5726 3 года назад

Hehehe... Charvel is one of the best, I think its a bbit of a shame that firms like Fender buy companys like Charvel. I own a 1995 Charvel San Sandimas custom build and a modern Charvel San Dimas (2019 - Fender build in Mexico) Both sound great, but the custom shop USA Charvel wins in playability, sound etc Except the shape of the San Dimas, looking like a Fender Strat with humbuckers its a great guitar to play with. I love them

@bonedale 3 года назад

that is a killer tele option. I think Fender is obviously aware of their place and value and if they depart too far they will hurt the real value in their name. Might as well use other brands to capture that market.

@leomonster1973 3 года назад

If Fender is the standard of "Fender" classic styling tone, innovative features, without straying to far from the original vibe. And Charvell is the quality hotrod. They'll have hit their point

I own a Charvel-era Charvel, a Jackson-era Charvel and a Fender-era Charvel. Funny how the last two feel very much like their parent company's product instead of the original. I actually bought this exact model last year simply because I wanted an all-white guitar with a maple fingerboard and, boy, am I happy. This guitar is so loaded with great features that, at this price point, it should be a Schecter. Great post, Darrell! Cheers.

@@skarfie123 They're all very different. The early ones you'd have to buy used (of course) but are well made. The new ones are on par with any of Fender's Mexican-made guitars. As far as pickup tones, the Jackson-era guitars were very Metal-biased while the new ones are a little more versatile (depending on the pickup choice). My earliest Charvel is actually quite similar to a hot-rodded Fender of the day.

No such thing as a Charvel era Charvel. Charvel did not start making guitars till 1979 Wayne Charvel sold the company to Grover Jackson in 1978 before then they were just a repair shop and after market parts maker.

@forthedeaf 3 года назад

Thank you so much for reviewing this guitar that deserves a ton more attention. I’ve had my black version w Gotoh trem for about 6 months and I am absolutely in love with it. I’m mainly Gibson fan, but this is like a Tele made for typically non fender players. The body cuts set it apart from the traditional tele body and it is a shredding machine with deep fret access. I appreciate learning more about it from an outside point of view. I don’t think there’s anything I’d change about it. Great compliment to my SG and Firebird. And yes, seemingly endless tones!

@@craiger2399 Yes, but the utubers know full well they can outlay the cash up front..make their money back just from the utube money alone...but at the same time demonstrate a sales bump to Fender/Charvel, that will make the company conducive for favourable collabs and business partnerships going forward into the future. Utubers like Darrell Braun, Tyler Larson, Robert Baker, Rick Beato are entrepreneurs..and straight up businessmen. In fact, I'd go as far as to say they are businessmen first, and guitar players second! Big statement, I know! But, I think it's necessarily so. For them to reach the success that they have, they have been forward thinking for years to get where they are. They didn't just do a little dance, upload it to RU-vid and suddenly they can be crashing Lambos on Sunset strip on Saturday nights (like a certain Bieber-turdling).

My Gretsch Chet Atkins Country Gentleman is a MONSTER (and it should be, being priced in the $6,000 range!). In 1965, before the Gretsch Company was sold to CBS, the exact same guitar was $500!! And if you take a good look at one, you’ll notice all the GOLD hardware on it. Weil, don’t be fooled. What looks like gold on the Grover Imperial tuning machines, the pickup covers, the bridge, the custom Gretsch GB-7 Bigsby... THEY ARE ALL GOLD! FOR REAL! And since real gold doesn’t tarnish, every piece of gold on that guitar looks KILLER! And it will for at least 100 years! Now, instead of Brooklyn, NY, THEY MAKE ‘em in Japan, and they’re largely machine assembled. What does that mean to you, the player? It means the consistency in QUALITY from one Country Gent to the next is actually better now than it was in, say 1960 thru 1965 when the Baldwin Organ Co. bought Gretsch. At that point in time, the quality of ALL Gretsch models went right down the dumper. Now, they’re better than when they were first hand-made in Brooklyn. Fred Gretsch III now owns the company, and he made a deal with Fender (world’s largest guitar manufacturer, AND the world’s largest guitar marketer). That’s why it is that Gretsch is back to being one of the finest guitars in the world. I just wish I could afford a White Falcon! But I can’t complain about the Gent, or any of my other Fender-made guitars.

Great demo ! Liking all the tones. What are you using amp wise ?

@crispineda4630 2 года назад

Your review got me to buy one! Thank you so much! Definitely loving the value!

I hate the way you create such nice sounds and make it all look so easy.

A really beautiful T-Style Guitar. But I hate reverse headstocks. Too bad they don't have a regular headstock version. If they did, I would buy one.

@Auspexgetchell 3 года назад

They sure do! Look at the Joe Duplantier version

These are great guitars. They were all the rage during the 1980s and 1990s as shredder guitars along with Ibanez and Kramer. The way you describe the neck lets me know that they have kept that legacy right on up to today. That thing sounds amazing!

Wow. Really impressed with that guitar. I'm hoping to be in the market for a guitar around the £1000 mark, and this is a definite contender. The range of tones from those Fishman pickups is fantastic. Thanks, Darrell. I'd never have considered a Charvel before watching this.

After a couple of years I still love almost everything about my Charvel DK-24 HSS but I absolutely HATE the input jack location and that's why I won't ever buy another one.

@Bumpdy 2 года назад

Got mine yesterday. Already hate the location but that's my only complaint so far

Reverse tele headstocks need to be more of a thing

@michaelvaldez5453 2 года назад

I actually hate how tele headstocks looked until I saw this.

@madmod 2 года назад

Chapman tried to normalize it and people still resist lol

@jeffbrown3009 2 года назад

I love the Tele, but those headstocks are a little goofy how they sit on a lot of regular stands. Minor nitpick tho.

Thanks for this review, which set me off on purchasing this and returning my Fender Player Strat. Got the blue one. Playability, tone, "extras", have this being a much better value than the mid-range Strat and Tele's I've tried lately. Love the neck and frets (playability). I'm a novice, but still. Think I'm also going to sneak in and pick up the So-Cal Style 1 with the Tremolo as soon as my wife is out of town next month. If I get the Slime Green though, it might be noticeable.

Love that roasted maple neck! I played a Charvel Model 2 in the mid 80s that I gave to a friend about 30 years ago. He still has it in his studio for when he needs to play something for someone that is recording.

Always wanted to try the Jake E Lee signature.

@peterparker6634 3 года назад

If only it didn't have the reverse headstock, otherwise I'm sure I'd love it.

@kevindelk 3 года назад

Nice looking guitar. Never been fond of a reverse headstock but still looks nice

@flbiker57 2 года назад

I just bought the trem version of this guitar. Thanks for turning me on to this. I love, Love, LOVE this guitar.

Get John 5 one of these, it honestly sounds way cleaner than his Tele for the kind of stuff he plays, but also offers the same single coil tones he sometimes uses.

@kevinblackburn3198 2 года назад

John 5 could get excellent tone playing a broom stick attached to a pizza box strung with yarn. But I agree, I would love to see John 5's thoughts on this guitar. I know I'm sold.
