I had to admit, 1st time i played this Guitar straight out of the box, i was NOT really happy...
Not with the whole Guitar, but specifically with the frets, it had really sharp edges & fret sprouts all over the place,
& the Jumbo frets really felt like a freaking Railroad with speed bumps when doing slides...& the action was way too high,
funny, i was charged with a Thomann Guitar Set-up Service that i feel did not even happen,
coz it's was really painful & and unbarable to play, that i put it down right away..
Don't know why, but THAT'S really the truth.
(& I just can't really help to look up & ask the Heavens, "CHARVEL, wHY???!!!"..)
Good thing Thomann CS Gave Me a fair amount of discount as a resolve, after I Brought-up this issues to them,
& that's what I used to pay for a proper set-up, fret dressing & fret edge treatment to a very good Guitar Luther
here in our city & He really did a good job.
After that,,, MIRACLE,!!! The Guitar just transformed into a Shred little monster, it's now very easy to play fast, with quick slides
& backward slide licks, & I can't even feel the jumbo frets anymore.it is now very nice to play, the Fishman pickups sound versatility amazing.!,
love the feel & comfort of the compound radius caramelized neck,, so yeah, this is now My Favorite Guitar
& i'm Really happy with it now, I can't Put it down... & that's the story of My 1st Charvel...
One quick advise though...(based on what i learned from this experience)...
when you order, Never pay for a Thomann Guitar Set-up Service, coz it's Really not worth it...
they will never do what you instructed or request them to do, or won't even do anything to your guitar at all,
& You'll just end up disappointed when the Guitar arrives ,,, it's better you just do the setup yourself or
bring it to your trusted local Guitar shop for a proper setup, it's better that way,,, Take it from Me.!!!
(A Proper setup really needed to make it a shred monster...)
Thankz & CHEERS.!!!
