I have the Starcaster in the sunbirst finish. I love it! Some guys swap out the pickups, but the originals sound fine to me. I did add a Les Trem vibrato (NOT tremelo!!!) and that is highly recommended...

Van Halen 👍

4:36 what riff is that? Its so familiar to me!

Sick demo

I have one … that’s a beauty guitar and sounds great

Less blathering. More playing. Its fair to say everyone here know what a jazzmaster is and what features it has. Quit yappin' and get tk the playing so we can draw our own conckusions. PS oh no, he played a bunch of metal blues rock and classic rock riffs. Jazzmasters are for indie, alt rock, and shoegaze. Smh.

Still trying to understand how it's "baseball bat thick" when reported at .820-.920... thinner than my 50's Vintera Mod or 60's Vintera Strat. My Ultra Strat -.820 -.890....

Love mine, killer axe! But my trusted seller (an amazing luthier also) made me choose about the out/in-phase and I picked up back in. More useful to me. Grat video!!!

Very nice

Building an Ibanez rg550 (reissue). Putting one of these in the middle position. Holy diver bridge and emerald neck.

Sss s true strat you need hot ,sss 50s or 60 s .hot pickups Your you can get away with more with humbuckers you know then just wire it with a spliter you get singlecoil

Not a true strat if you can't tame singe coils just get humbuckers your not a strat man or womann😅 if you must hss is the best other than 😅😅😅sss

Amazing man!

You're a monster bro 😮‍💨

I replaced the bridge (fender American), the tuners to locking and the pick up (JB) and filed out the nut quite a bit and with lubrication all but the G keep in tune if you don't go to hard on the trem, the G i tune a little to low so that when you trem it gets a bit to high until you bent again on that string, but you hardly notice then the g is a tiny bit off, others on youtube had good results with a new black tusq nut. I also leveled all frets, so a nice low action is possible with no buzz at all....

Just picked one of these up for my son - they seem to have sorted the fret QC. I absolutely love it.

very nice, i love it

I cracked tf up when you played that first riff, you would’ve thought that was a ESP running through a rectifier 😂

sounds great

Good job, some very nice lines!

Kinda late here, but new to the tube amp scene. I recently picked up a DSL40 amp, similar to the DSL100 you're using. I didn't have an overdrive pedal at first, but did have a CS-3 lying around that was given to me as a gift many years ago. I noticed the boost it would give, along with the EQ pedal I had. I quickly bought a SD-1 since they are so cheap and love it. I tried using them together and there can be a lot of feedback, even with a noise suppressor. After a few weeks of tweaking settings, etc., I have so far come to this conclusion for my sound, which is based on the No More Tears album: I use the SD-1 on the Clean, Crunch and OD1 channels. I use the CS-3 as a boost on the OD2 channel instead of the SD-1 as the gain levels on that channel are a bit overkill and the amp needs a little help keeping the EQ's shape (the EQ pedal is still doing a good job here, used in the efx loop). If I want to play a lead, I might kick on the CS-3 for it's duration. I can't stand the compression when playing clean as it clips my lower end a bit too much. This CS-3 pedal isn't the easiest to figure out at first and thanks for making this video to help my learning curve.

I like my player tele. I don’t have any of the issues you described with the fretboard. Mine is perfect.

What guitar is that? Love the aqua color.

Yo, what kind of tone is that at 3:47?

can you tell me the wire guage of the sinner ? 43 or 44 ? no mention on web site except for ....SPECIFICATION Position: Bridge DC Resistance: 21.5 kΩ Magnet: Alnico 5 Position: Middle DC Resistance: 15.5 kΩ Magnet: Alnico 5 Position: Neck DC Resistance: 15.5 kΩ Magnet: Alnico 5

Nice. I’m a drummer and this looks hard as shit. Good work with the left

Awesome brother. Very satisfying though when you get though

Interested in purchasing one of these, for the price it should have stainless steel frets, imo. But I have to say, it feels and sounds great.

THANK YOU! It’s refreshing to see someone not dogging on the SG in a review. I never understood the hate, especially for the look. It looks like it was carved straight from the Devil’s workshop, and what’s more ROCK than that? Always loved the symmetric design. I’m in the exact same boat as you brother, Angus Young was my first guitar hero who made me want to rock. I too find the SG very comfortable to play.

Thanks for the video. Might have to get one of these. I just want a cheap 80s style guitar while i wait to get a Jackson Rhoads.

How does fender have a 2 tone knob option but Charvel doesn't. lol

That pinch harmonic at the end🔥🔥🔥

Great review! Good that you dont have the guitar hanging to your croch. I am a strat guy, but this guitar really has my curiosity going. For me, its all about the neck and comfort. I seems this guitar has both...including, being light weight. i am 60 and I hate skinny necks. Tone is in the hands and your signal chain. Thanks for your honest opinion.

10:14 Installation begins.

I just picked up a newer one and it doesn't have the fret problem yours has so I'd say its basically perfect. Didnt see your video until I already had her home lol. Great guitar.

Is that neck pickup a lace sensor?

Getting to the point where that 24" scale neck is what my arthritic hands are calling for. I have in the collection a '51 Squire that has the angled neck single coil with the bridge HB. Best $100 new bargain ever.

Do you need to use the return too?

Hey man! With this set and the sinners, did you mess around with closing your tone knob? Do they both respond well to rolling your tone knob back?

Is it neck heavy?

What if i'm trying to sound like Bloodbath"s older albums? lol That March of the Crucifiers tone! Their riffage is some of my favorite.

It's an amazing guitar. I love mine.

How's the neck?

Wow, your one of the few players that say it has a thick neck!!!!!!!!!!!!! I own one and for me, it's definitely NOT a thick neck. Good video Joe, they do sound awesome.

@1:38 I thought of that as a pun with the band NIHILIST, the original bands before ENTOMBED.

I bought one for 120 bucks second hand... put the neck of a squier cv Jaguar on it...looks and plays amazing now!

The "special tool" is called a screwdriver... It's designed to be adjusted with the neck off. If you want to adjust it with the neck on, that's your choice, but you'll need to buy a (non-Fender) produced tool to do so. Your real issue with it should have been that Fender initially advertised this to buyers as made in the US, but when it came out they decided to hide the serial numbers in the neck pocket because they all start with MX... Made in Mexico.
