Charvel Charvette Review

History:

Purchase: Aquired this one from a pawn shop in North Bay Northern Ontario for $275.

Pros: I love the colour scheme. It's a real crazy red with black crackles and it is so intricate and awesome. The pickups absolutely scream when you turn on the distortion, and surprisingly they also have a not bad clean sound. I am pretty sure however that whoever owned mine before me swapped out the humbucker. The neck/fretboard is wide and the frets are massive so it makes soloing very easy. Finish is also very durable.



Cons: The neck pickup hasn't got high enough output to match the rest of the guitar. That's about it.

Charvette Quality: Construction is solid. I've been playing it for 2 years now and other than changing strings and cleaning I haven't done anything to it. The quality of the paint is beautiful. I can't believe how fine some of the work is on it.

Charvel Summary: This guitar rocks. It's perfect for anyone who wants something versatile enough to scream heavy metal leads and then quickly change to softer sounds. A guitar like this will also help to develope your soloing skills almost instantly too. Buy this guitar!
