Incoming - Charvel Guthrie Govan Signature HSH Carmelized Ash USA & Victory Sheriff 25 amp

[HowieJams]

I have been on a SuperStrat type guitar kick lately.
I have bought:

Ibanez Prestige AZ2402 - HH - my favorite of the bunch by far
Ibanez Prestige LB1 - HSS - more of a super telecaster - my 2nd favorite
Fender American Ultra II HSS - very modern sounding, but comes in 3rd
Fender Player II Modified HSS - not really a superstrat, a very vintage sounding strat which is a nice change of pace

What I have come to realize is I am a humbucker guy, that is why I own so many Les Pauls.
I also have a Gibson Custom Shop SG/Les Paul 61RI which is probably my best playing guitar of all of them with killer humbucker tones and a fast neck. It is Gibson superstrat.

So I started looking for HSH type guitars and narrowed it down to the Charvel or the Suhr Modern Plus.
The online shop is was buying from that I had a ton of rewards points did not have the Suhr in stock, so I went with the Charvel.

If I can get along with the thinner neck and the weird string change bridge it should be a keeper.

While I was at it I ordered a Victory the Sheriff 25 amp, should be a nice complement from the videos I've watched.

The guitar should arrive Thursday and the amp ahould be there Friday.

Stay tuned for a thorough demo and reviewof both , hopefully with videos, but I do have family coming over for the holiday weekend.

The Victory amp sounds amazing from the videos I have watched.
It looks to fit my need of enough gain without any pedals as a boost.

I’ve been using an Ash GG as my main gigging guitar for several years now.

It’s fantastic…amazing neck/fretwork and the tones are extremely versatile. Tuning is rock solid although the bone nut does require some sauce now and then.

But be aware, the body finish is so fragile a good sneeze will scratch it. Mine is just about bare wood underneath the middle pickup.

If you’re one of those “relic it the natural way” folks, this is your guitar

Also, I have owned a Suhr Modern in the past and the GG is equal as far as quality. Can’t really say one is better than the other, both top tier guitars.

Thanks for all the great info. I am not a relic guy, all my guitar look pristine, so I will be careful.
I am glad the Charvel is equal quality compared to the Suhr.
