I played one of the new EVH Charvel`s yesterday and have just 1 ?...How in the amp;^%$ does Charvel achieve that low of action ( it was ridiculous ) with absolutely NO fret buzz, and a ton of sustain and resonance? Im tellin you guys, I have never been so impressed over a guitar like I was with this one. In my almost 20 years of playing, Ive always had to sacrifice 1 aspect or another with action issues and etc for the sake of sustain, tone and whatnot. But not with this guitar. I didn`t even plug it in, coz it sounded AMAZING just on its own quot;acousticquot; merit. It almost p@#$ed me off thinkin that in all this time of playing, Ive never had a guitar that was SO comfortable amp; effortless to play amp; it wasnt sacrificing anything in the sustain, tone dept. I know everyone has their own tastes and preferences, but Ive never played a guitar that inspired me to play the way that one did, and Ive played just about everything thats been made. The various Charvel`s Ive had over the years ( even 2 San Dimas models) weren`t even in the same ball park as this
one. When I think of the money I handed out to techs over the years for a quot;greatquot; set-up, and in the end, NOTHING Ive ever owned was the quot;dreamplayerquot; like this guitar. I`m still kinda miffed about it. To be honest with you, I was always dead-set against throwing out over $2000.00 for a guitar, but now, I may be having second thoughts. Still, it`s a shame in my view, to have to spend that kinda cash to have a guitar w/ flawless playability. Sorry,just wanted to vent amp; share the tale.
Yeah, if you want an action that can be set very low with no fret buzz, the guitar has to be built to really high standards and have great frets..
