Charvel So-Cal Style 1 HH Electric Guitar  

Simple, straight-forward but perfect. A single volume knob and a selector switch for the two humbuckers. Nothing is in the way, and if something ever fails it's alot easier to work on.

  Feels like it should cost alot more than it does.  Really well built and the case is the same as the U.S. made Fenders, only it has Charvel engraved on the top.  Overall, I was highly impressed.

  I didn't buy it from this fine company, but the price they are selling it for is still a good value.

This is my first Charvel as well as my first Floyd Rose guitar. I absolutely love it. This guitar can play any kind of music from any genre. The cleans are classic fender and with the humbuckers, it can cover the meaty Gibson tones, too. The floyd is korean or chinese but stays in tune perfectly ( It's the same Floyd that comes on the Ltd. Kirk Hammett KH-602).

The Dimarzio pickups are very nice and well balanced. I've never used Dimarzio's but I now understand why so many people praise them. The evolution neck pickup is so warm and can nail blues, high gain soloing, low gain rythm, and clean strumming. The tone zone bridge can do whatever you want it to, your imagination is the only boundary.

  I highly recommend this guitar for anybody, if for no other reason than the neck on it. It is super smooth and extremely fast with great action and perfect fret work. Give this guitar a shot and you will not, WILL NOT be disappointed. Great job Charvel!!

  BTW, the Japanese factory where these were built has been closed down so get one while you still can!!!

Everything I need, and I have to admit those pickups sound very good on a clean setting, but I do wish that there was a coil split in the volume knob.

The soldering was my only issue as there were stray wires that didn't make the full connection, along with a few melted spots on the wire casings. The paint was close to perfect, but I did notice the slightest ripple in the clear coat on the back of the guitar.

The parts, woods, and that awesome hard case are well worth it

The only thing that is holding me back from a ten is the build quality. Otherwise it is a very nice guitar with a great tone and very fast quartersawn neck

There are so many things I like about this guitar  Comfortable neck that is very fast.  I was looking for a guitar with a floyd rose and this one didnt disappoint.  I may change out the tone zone to a more classic sounding pickup but otherwise I wouldnt change a thing.

Great quality guitar but needed some setup work out of the box.

Great value!!  Well made guitar and it even comes with a hard shell case.

Overall this is a great value guitar for this price point.

Overall these aren't the best rock/metal guitars out of the box. the tone and amazing build of these is beyond belief! i have no clue how they are getting any profit off these at the price they sell them.     they use all high quality parts(dimarzio's or duncan.OFR,high quality pot and switch,great finish,fret work so well polished and crowned that it allows a string action under a 16th" at the last fret.     MIne is under a 16th" at the last fret on the hig E and about 1/16th on the low E last fret. simply amazing     they are so exact and precise! best fret work i have ever seen/played from guitar under $2000 out of the box,simply amazed me! the even have a mirror shine to them. check for yourself.

has everything i need and you can get another pickguard for other pick ups and control layouts

Stellar quality, fret work and everthing else is way above average on these!

for the price with hard shell case these can not be beat for that price,you would normally have to spend over a grand for this much guitar.

Very nice guitar for the price.     Comes with great pickups.     Gigged     last night for the first time with it and it performed well.     The only     drawback to this guitar that you should know up fromt is the need to     remove the neck to adjust the truss rod.     If that's a deal breaker then     Ibanez make great ones too.     I just like the feel of this a lot.

Thanks and hope this helps.
