My Top 5 Favourite Guitars I Own

[@gonspeak]

Dude, I could watch you play all day! Your playing is so smooth and melodic and even when you are messing around, it seems like you are playing with a purpose. There are many amazing players on KZbin but you stand out. Keep making these videos and I'll keep watching....

[@juanchaves2971]

That blue Charvel (#2) does sound very distinctive and unique- I love that guitar!

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

Every time I look at my notifications there is a killer new video from Cameron. You must be working full time on this channel to put out all of this amazing content. I love it!

My favorite is Penelope it has the most raw energy sound to it. Your top five are some serious instruments nice collection. Thanks for sharing it with us and the back story to them with the specs to them . ✌🏻

[@stevenramer7961]

Love the pink Stormshadow. That looks like a ebony fretboard on there and sounds awesome, thanks Cam!

[@jakenogard9667]

Awesome video Cam and awesome guitar solo from dream theater song called “Another day” i just love that song a lot😍🤘

[@Musettelover]

Your finger vibrato is as good and natural as it gets, on par with anything else I've ever heard. Exquisite 👌

[@slowpoke7888]

That Big Apple Strat just sounds amazing!

[@FlyingEddies]

Ah man. When you started talking about "candy" that really reminded me of when i got my japanese sandimas. First time i picked it up i was in love. Probably still my favorite guitar to play. Great video cam👌🏼🤘🏻

[@davidgallery5649]

Hey Cameron,I wanted to comment on the Big Apple strat.I have the same exact guitar as yours .I stumbled upon your channel one day looking at info for big apple strats and had to laugh ,that our guitars were the same right down to the locking tuners.The only difference is the year .Your correct on the 3 humbucker settings, but 2 and 4 the coils are split .The forth position is the single outer coil of the neck pickup and the 2 position is actually the 2 inner single coil pickups from each humbucking pickup .I discovered this years ago on the Fender site under Fender Big Apple Stratocaster specs.I also use to own a Lone star strat which was from the same Hot rod series as the Big Apple it had 2 Texas specials for single coils and the Pearly Gates +Humbucker like the Big Apple.I hope the info is useful . Great playing and a great channel ,keep up the good work!

[@mikemorrison3791]

Enjoying your videos - would like to see a run down of how you set up your lead sound - delay settings - and anything else you might be running.

[@CameronCooper]

Mike Morrison Hi Mike. Probably would be a really boring video because I use a Yamaha THR10X and nothing else

[@mikemorrison3791]

Cameron Cooper you’re getting much better tones out of it than I could. I tried one in GC a month ago - primarily based on what I was hearing in your videos - and was very disappointed.

[@CameronCooper]

Mike Morrison Perhaps it just wasn't dialled in right. I use software to make the majority of my sounds anyway. :)

[@centurionmusic11]

Mmm EVH Wolfgang has technically been around since 1991 when Eddie was an EBMM signature artist.

[@cwilliamwhitejr]

Outstanding as always. Keep up the good work

[@evalex71]

Man I love your playing, Cam -- so many tasty little licks.

[@CameronCooper]

[@yonikup2865]

Cameron because of you I have decided to buy a Charvel guitar and I found someone selling one and I would love if you could tell me if you think its good (the price is 850$)facebook.com/groups/notebook78/permalink/10156477356307238/?sale_post_id=10156477356307238 Thank you so much!!! i just bought a thr10x because of you as well xD

[@CameronCooper]

Yoni Kup Hi! Thank you very much for your comment I really appreciate it. Sadly I don't have Facebook so I can't view the guitar but I am sure that if it's a Charvel made in the last 10 years and it's $850, that's not a bad price at all if it's a US or Japanese made Charvel but if it's a Mexican model, that's massively overpriced.

[@mariamarin8152]

Absolutely amazing guitars and I love your playing wowww!!! That Wolfgang is incredible. ..Van Halen a genuis, his legacy "techniques, style, knowledge, virtuosity" is an extension of himself in this guitars ... Congrasts for your channel !!!

[@Mark-OutWest]

Just purchased your #1 guitar today. Only wish they made this model with a Floyd. Glad I could still find one in great shape.

[@timtomasello7194]

awesome video man :) my favorite guitar that i own is my ESP RZK 1 guitar

[@davidelkington117]

I just received my Charvel today , and its pretty nice and warm sounding

[@gyllipus480bc]

Cameron Cooper I enjoy watching you play dude. You've got a great style! I'm 45 years old and just started playing the guitar 2 years ago, and I love it! I'm struggling with developing speed with alternate picking and synchronizing both hands to play crisp without it sounding like shit. I practice several hours a day, and would do more if it weren't for a little things like a career, mortgage, a family etc...all those excuses (kidding). My 13 year old son jams with me--he inherited my old Line 6 30-watt and Epiphone Les Paul Standard with the dark gray quilted maple top when I bought an EVH 5150 6L6 50-watt in a 2x12 combo amp. Went with the combo because of the factory reverb it comes with, which the 50-watt detached head lacks. It sounds awesome!!!!! My guitars are: 1) EVH Wolfgang Standard w/ exotic burl top. I love this guitar! 2) Jackson USA "Mick Thomson" (#7 from Slipknot) Signature SL2 Soloist . That guitar is my favorite--it's a BEAST! It's so beautifully made, heavy--you pick it up and can tell instantly it's a high-end quality instrument., and a heavy metal monster! 3) ESP LTD ST-213 with "road worn" look. It has custom Van Zandt hot-rodded blues pick-ups tha sound amazing! This isn't a Fender Strat, but it sounds just as good if not better than many high-end strats I've noodled around on at guitar shops.

[@Musettelover]

Killer tone. Great playing with a sweet vibrato. Very enjoyable!

[@waterwoodguitars6871]

I’ve just discovered your channel and it’s turning into one of my favorites! You’re a fantastic player and I love your choice of guitars and licks. Keep it coming, please! 🤘🏻

[@MrJackal43]

Actually the Peavey EVH Wolfgang was introduced in 1996, got one. Sounds much better then my new one.

[@CameronCooper]

Jack Long Yes, but that's the Peavey Wolfgang, it was played fully enough on the Balance Tour in 1995 and then introduced to the public in 1996. The EVH Wolfgang (made by Fender) was introduced in 2007. Hope that clears things up. :)

What amplifiers and effects are you using to achieve your sound on this video. I'm in the market for a new amplifier. I will buy a Yamaha THR10X on your recommendation, but I also need to buy an amp for live performances. Care to share how you achieve this awesome tone? Fantastic playing, you're very talented.

[@CameronCooper]

jame61 Thanks very much! I'm only using a Yamaha thr10x in my videos. I don't use effects pedals. :)

[@jame61]

Can you share the settings on the amp so I may get the same tone out of the THR10X?

[@CameronCooper]

jame61 My tones you can't get from the amp by turning the knobs. You have to download the THR Editor software

[@jame61]

Thanks Cameron, I'm picking up one tomorrow, I'll download the software and look at some of your videos posted for saved patches.

Subject: Cameron Cooper To: Hello Charvel. I'm a long time Charvel lover of the late 80's Charvels. I really love the 1986-1991 Made In Japan Model Series. Recently, I came across Cameron Cooper on KZbin playing Charvel after Charvel after Charvel, and in addition to his amazing playing and the amp he uses, the guitars look and sound phenomenal. So much so, that I've watched about 20 of his videos or so and reading the comments on various videos, I saw that ATLEAST 10 people and I have something in common!! We purchased a Charvel( in my case Another Charvel) because of Cameron Cooper's videos. His videos are so well made in the sense that it's not just his playing, but his insight and Knowledge( because of his Dad) on Charvel guitars and their history. He is spot on with his reviews and I haven't seen a better review or insight on any brand guitar that has made me go want to play a guitar so badly. I went out and purchased a So Cal, and it is everything that Cameron said it was. I know of Atleast 10 people saying they purchased a Charvel because of Cameron. In his latest video, his Dad is introduced and he is an Ocean of Knowledge on guitars and especially on Charvels. Cameron and his Father each would love a custom Charvel. I think Cameron and his videos have accounted for a boost in sales just in the short time I've been watching his videos and like many others that will agree, I believe and hope Charvel will also notice that, and make and gift Cameron and his Father the custom model they want. You gotta give credit where credit is due, and Cameron and his Father deserve this. Let's All Tell Charvel that WE'RE All In Agreement. I personally emailed them exactly what you are all reading right now. Please Echo My Sentiments and Let Charvel Know!!!There is Power In Numbers. Sincerely , Cameron Cooper KZbin subscriber, Luis Morales

[@morggianbenitez3092]

I love the Peavey Wolfgangs the best. The Fedner made ones are hit and miss like Gibson quality. Ed screwed up with Peavey. THe Peavey 5150/5150II were the best. The EVH Vietnam made ones are toys.

I own a hardtail charvel san dimas ans a Floyd loaded jackson both made in Mexico by fender. Awesome guitars for under 800€ but on the Jackson I had to swap out the Floyd Rose for a Schaller one because they only come with cheap korean ones made out of low quality diecast. Using thick strings the knife edges will were out. But still Id suggest a Charvel.

An 80's charvel model

[@yonikup2865]

such as?

Yoni Kup Model 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Depends on your setup preference but all those crafted between '86 and '89 are from sublime quality and overlooked on the market. You can pick them up from around 300 depending on the state. You should check out charvelusa.com for any info on the early models and what to look out for when buying them on the second hand market.

First time I'm seeing your videos. Just how many guitars do you own? I own 8 electrics, 2 acoustics, and a 5 string bass. Your tone is awesome btw. I have a Marshall code 50, a Boss Katana 100, and a line 6 50 watt for amps.... I can't afford a tube amp and head at the moment. However, that all said, I get my best tones out of software anyway. I'm using guitar rig 5 and to get big tone, I'm using free VST's like the emissary head, a tube screamer, and NAD ir with Kathleen impulse responses. Rock on! Greetings from Connecticut U.S.A.

My absolute favorite was made by Wayne Charvel his self and his son Michael and it is called a Wayne Guitar his name was stolen but he is the original Charvel

Wayne Charvel sold the company to Grover Jackson in 1978, and was to be bought by Fender in 2002 to revive the company, turning it into the company you see now - so not 'stolen' aha.

Please young man my intent was never to argue with you I think you are an absolute virtuoso . Please forgive me my intent was that you deserve one of his handmaid Wayne guitars I'm sorry I phrased it the way I did . I know Wayne personally he's the most humble man you will ever meet but he just lost everything in the Paradise California fires. Please forgive me there's enough trouble in the world without me starting more I watch all your videos. Just know this there is a story about him and Grover Jackson I will stay out of it but when he makes you a guitar he makes it by his start to to finish there's nothing like them again please forgive me

[@capsuleboy]

Man, about your second guitar (and third) they are ugly, but my question was.. you were talking about the marks and dirt that sticks in the neck, well I have just that problem and I wanted to ask you if you know how to clean it and leave it like new!. or at least not make it look like a dirty guitar, decently clean enough. thanks.

[@CameronCooper]

capsuleboy I use lemon oil although apparently you're not supposed to. I don't know why and don't care, it does the job perfectly well. I prefer it when they look dirty, it's a reminder of how much effort one puts into their guitar playing so I don't clean fretboards very often. If my second and third guitars are 'ugly', then all of my guitars are 'ugly'. Don't expect too much help or guidance from people if you're insulting the product featuring the thing you want advice about. Think your comment through next time. Thanks!

[@capsuleboy]

I was joking! hahaha. I know I know, I am rude and funny sometimes. I never practiced discresion haha. I was being funny anyway. Now about what really matters I heard lemon oil is used to maintain the neck, somebody said that lemon oil does not do the job, or is not enough. Somebody else said that he used lemon (not lemon oil) to clean. I dont know if I should believe him.. Anyway I think I will follow your advice and try lemon oil. Thanks man, and smile a little! for god sake. ha

[@jasonsimmons7479]

What is your age and have you ever had a day job?

[@CameronCooper]

Jason Simmons My age doesn't matter and I do have a job. The trick is to buy cheap secondhand gear. My Dad also plays but is now a bit of a collector which gives the illusion that I am some snobby rich kid with loads of guitars.

[@jasonsimmons7479]

Cameron Cooper I was just curious about your age because I was wondering how long it took you to get that good. I asked about you having a job because you told me once that you practiced around 5 hrs a day. This amount of practice would be difficult for me with my job,so I was just curious. And I never even thought you were a "snobby,rich kid". 😀

[@CameronCooper]

Jason Simmons Sorry Jason, I didn't mean to come across as defensive in my first response, I do apologise. I get those questions a lot and sometimes it can tip me over the edge. Quite immature of me I suppose. I do all of my playing at night. Ever since I left high school I went through intense stages of insomnia and I used those hours to learn and teach myself. :)

[@jasonsimmons7479]

Cameron Cooper no worries mate. I've been playing around 30 yrs so when I see someone who appears to be fairly young (nothing wrong with that) and so good on guitar I get curious as to how they became so. Just because I'm always looking to improve my playing. As far as owning lots of guitars... I think that's a personal preference. I have 2 electrics and an acoustic which is fine for me. I would like to add a telecaster to my arsenal though.

Charvel are too expensive for what you get you can get the same quality out of a Jackson, for what a Charvel cost at half the price.
