played the charvel guthrie today

[mentoneman]

it is a really impressive feeling and sounding guitar. i could totally be happy with this if i didn't have my tyler though the GG does strike me as more of a shred rock guitar

buttery smooth action and the tones are classic stratty, tele-ish in the middle, and fat bridge tones.
played it through a fender ML deville and it was sweet and so nice i barely tried overdrive with it.

highly recommend the charvel GG.

i then switched to a quilter aviator and a kotzen tech 21 fly rig pedal. ok but not as cool as the landau amp straight in. played the keeley darlside which was pretty nice. looking forward to the keeley dyno my roto

and the vertex steel string pedal

finally i hung out with surf legend tom curren last night at a free conct he played. talked guitars (he's a strat man) and ukulele's and skimboards which he is into now!

Cool! All Charvel Customs I've played have been gems. I'm sure the Guthrie has a bit of its own thing as you say, love to play one sometime.

Charvel makes some really really nice guitars.

It took all I had not to buy the one here for like $2400.

thing is sick

That and a gibby 339 customized to my tastes would rule.

I have one and absolutely love it. Prefer the Floyd on it to any other I have ever played. Sounds great and the neck rules!

you're stoked!
the one i played did not have a floyd which made it much more my cup of tea. i just never got into floyds..

Nice guitar, I hate the middle pickup and the price.

i normally dislike middle pickups but the one on my friend's gg sounded great.
but yeah the price is steeep.
