Very nice guitar. In the hands of a pro player. Old-school style guitar. Into an old-school amp. In the hands of an old-school player! That's how you do it.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Indeed 😎👌. Thanks!

[@albertarmen4839]

Oh nice Mediterranean Sundance that was very cool

[@andydinesguitar]

Great playing as always Euge, loving that chorus sound with the gain. Got a San Dimas and love it to bits, so 80s!🤘😝

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man! Cool! 👌🤟

Amazing guitar as usual by Charvel. I'm primarily playing Jackson and Charvel myself, so I enjoy this video even more. ;)

Great lick love that style of 80s playing on the higher strings. I had a Charvel San Dimas Custom Shop hardtail it was mean and very very light. I sold it kinda wish I hadn’t.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

Killer guitar I always wanted one of those but not in my budget 🤟🏻As always awesome song and tones!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man!

[@jasonsheppard7428]

I have this guitar in Satin Plum. I use it on my channel. I love it so much.. Such a smooth playing guitar. I ended up replacing the neck and middle pickups with a chopper and air Norton because although the HS2 pickups sounded great, it seemed the Super Distortion was disproportionately more beastly.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

🤟

[@mookytc]

Nice demo of a sweet looking - sounding guitar.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@geraldrauch1701]

Euge!!! just got a mexican version just like that except w two humbuckers and an ebony fingerboard...love the ebony fretboard!!! oh, the new amorphis is brilliant!!! cheers brother!!!

Hey gotta those song you come up with for the demos are great!!!!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! Thanks!

[@eTERNIAN69]

Totally Epic Guitars, I have a charvel san dimas made in Mexico, it shreds. Plays great acoustically for an electric. Great range of tones on that bad boy also. Top three guitar brands for me, Charvel, Gibson and ESP.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

👌🤟

[@albertarmen4839]

Recently started GASn'g for a USA Charvel... dang this review has just added to it big time. That matte black is very cool. Always can count on Euge to nail it.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

I've never liked strats, but that thing gives me the fizz! Matte black really suits it, veldig fin!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah! 🤟

[@maximumguitarage]

@@EugeValovirta230V it is a great looking guitar and has the goods ! 22 jumbo frets, rosewood fret board, dimazio hot pups, and the Floyd Rose floating bridge !

[@EugeValovirta230V]

I want one in Satin Plum! 🤘😁

That brought your inner eddie and randy on the leads lol 😆

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yep 😎.

[@yanossnicklefritz7064]

A good player is a good player regardless. Well said Euge. But yeah we are used to our preferences. I have always liked the high end Charvels. I've seen and played with a few over the years, but never bought one. That model without the Floyd Rose and a matching painted headstock would be very good for me with a string through hard tail bridge on it.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Indeed 😎👌.

[@paulcfo]

Music not war. Glad you said something about Ukraine!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

🙏

[@AleandFire]

Riffs and songs flow brother. I just bought a strat and seeing this…..yep

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man! Cool!

[@apocalyptitube]

I have this exact guitar model with baritone strings, tuned down A to A. 😆

[@stevengoodman3498]

Euge my man! Sick ass riffs on a cool axe by my favorite artist and channel. Is it time over there to play more live shows? Looking forward to that as well!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Yeah 🤟.

[@Moirchester]

It's very beautiful that guitar :) totally black \m/ and it has a great sound (when played by a pro, of course) :)

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Indeed🤟😎.

[@gral9440]

I have the San Dimas Plum version with Floyd Rose since January, so it's basically the same guitar and indeed it's a great axe. The DP100 is awesome, the neck is one of the best I've ever played on. The manufacturing quality is almost perfect. The only reproach I could made concerned the middle pickup. I feel the placement is a little bit weird. Maybe it's because I'm not used to play with a middle pickup, but I had to change the type of pick I used in order to avoid hitting the pickup when I play the strings (ernie ball prodigy to jazz III)

[@EugeValovirta230V]

I usually just lower the middle pickup a bit so that it doesn’t get in the way of my picking 😎👌. It also changes the tone of the pickup a bit which is kinda cool too.

[@gral9440]

Yeah it's what I've finally done, it help a quite well. Thanks for the advice

[@maximumguitarage]

@@gral9440 hey Gral94 I am headed down this path to get one of this. I am digging the plum purple as well. I am on the fence about plum or pitch black . I am a blues shredder. Cheers !

[@HiredGoonage]

Yeah have the same guitar, Satin Plum, just like in my profile pic. Beautiful guitar. Prefer the original Floyd to the 1000 also. The Dimarzio's were a nice alternative to the Seymours that seem to be in most of these type of guitars.

[@dav31078]

[@EugeValovirta230V]

[@vladzubac5360]

Amazing playing as always, but i think the neck is slightly wider than the neck pocket, in the shots from behind, the neck joint seemed to show that neck was wider than rhe pocket…hopefully it’s just the angle of the shot…

[@thomascusik6109]

Man Euge...... that Ukraine statement at the end was powerful man. That gave.me goosebumps. So true, evil Putin. One man's mind and wicked heart is causing all this. Incredible. Like Hitler or Stalin....etc. Okay, I'm done. I just had to tell you that. Oh ya.........and you rock dude. Love that opening tone. Kerry in Houston.....out 🎸👍🤕

[@EugeValovirta230V]

🙏💪

[@jelmeromero]

Love that guitar but damn that’s pricey. Great vid as always

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@maximumguitarage]

depends what you are comparing too.. this is far less than Suhr, PRS, or Ernie Ball Luke III. So a super strat at 2499 that has all the goods is a great price IMHO YMMV.

[@iesusm]

11:46 la mejor parte

[@BenjaminWong]

Great stuff. Great playing as always. The only way it becomes more 80's is that you wear spandex and stuff, lol

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Indeed 😊.

[@Breathemusic4202]

LOVE your videos! How would i connect my tube amp heads to my computer? I currently have a scarlett 2i2 interface and yamaha hs 7 monitors. Im new to all this kind of stuff. Im used to just plugging in and playing into amps, but i want to find out how to further my knowledge. what do i need to do this and how would i do this? budget is unlimited

[@reneotten7376]

You need a mike and put it in front of your speaker cab. That gives best sound and is the most used method for ages.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Like Rene said or then a reactive load and impulse responses, which is the same but a bit more convenient especially if you don’t have a sound proof / isolated studio 👌. This video might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mojKeGt3gdOdppY

I have style 2🙂great guitar but its most your playing🙂give you squier and still sound great🙂👌

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Probably 😊.

[@vladzubac5360]

how do you like the SUper Distortion compared to a classic Seymour Duncan like JB/Distortion?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

No idea 😎. I mainly use EMGs but I have a few fiddles with passives (Duncan Custom, EVH Wolfgang, ’59 & Wilde L500XL).

[@chrisdavies73]

Superb Euge. Do you use harmonics much? Fan of Alex Lifeson?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! I use whatever needed 😎. A great player 👌.

[@maximumguitarage]

awesome video and superb playing ! Just subbed I am headed down this route also. Just need to know pitch black or purple with black pickup guard ;) I play blues shredding. I am curious how the DiMarzio pups compare to the seymore Duncan's. Had a WR1 like 10 years ago in the past and did not like the DiMarzio. Have these changed ? How is the sustain ? Right a good guitar that resonates without even being plugged in a very good sign. Cheers from America !

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! I haven’t really used DiMarzio’s but in general the sound is mostly on the player’s hands and pickups pick that up, amps amplify etc. And obviously a good guitar with a good sustain & tone plays a big part too 👌.

[@maximumguitarage]

@@EugeValovirta230V well said thank you Mate ! Cheers !
