Marco Sfogli Presents His Signature Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HSS FR QM

[@andreaszanker8318]

Reminds me a of the old Valley Arts Guitars that Lukather, Carlton and co. used to play back in the day. 😉

[@phenixreturns]

the sound of Luke in 2022 lol

[@igorlit9780]

A great solution is a modern neck heel, great active pickups. An excellent blend of tradition and modern technology. A wonderful musical instrument!

[@phenixreturns]

Gilmour had more than this

[@Javier-qk7ms]

All the SoCals should have that heel

[@SO-bp2uc]

I second this comment! I want the so cal body with the DK heal carve!

[@alessandrogallotti5508]

Great guitar. Great guitarist. What a fantastic duo!

[@greekfreak1980]

Interesting seeing Marco playing EMG´s, when he was using passive DiMarzios for many years. He is using basically the same setup as Reb Beach.

[@MaksymBubyriev]

Oh yeah! Great instrument! 💜 Perfect sound! Time for @NeuralDSP to release Archetype: Marco Sfogli

[@devonboes2376]

Still waiting for them to release dang it😂

[@maksymbubyrievofficial]

@@devonboes2376 Oh yeah!!! Marco definitely deserves it! He has a very detailed approach to sound. I'm sure it would be a hit, on the level of Nolly, Petrucci, Rabea...

[@sethcollins893]

Miss you Marco!! Can't wait for your new material.

[@tel5690]

Very twang and bright and spanky....that beautiful purple quilted maple top....so excited to be getting

[@TheNothing6]

That guitar is magnificent! 💥👻🤘🏼

[@dntinpalevo]

ALL modern stratocasters should have this guitar's specs; I still can't understand why they still build them with that huge block of wood instead of the all access neck joint! This guitar is majestic!

Agree. Fenders “modern” Strats still have the same useless traditional style trem. I blocked mine cause it was so bad. 😂

Got mine today. Amazing instrument. Feeling like the 80‘s Luke now 😅

I ordered this guitar......December gift for myself

lucky man

[@devonboes2376]

Same just a year later just put in a set of 52-10 cobalt slinky's tuned to drop C# it's a wonderful instrument

[@devonboes2376]

Got this bad boy yesterday the most professional guitar ive played since I was a teenager blows my RG Ibanez out of the water. Neck is flawless really love the amount of room my right hand has compared to the Ibanez as well.

[@Ky_fan]

Very nice guitar. I’ve had mine for 2 months now and have a hard time putting it down. After I received the guitar, I had to make a couple minor adjustments. I’m loving the EMG 89; has unbelievable tones. The finish and attention to detail are incredible. I just wish they would include a hard shell case with purchase. Anyhow; this is an awesome guitar. 👍🏼

[@wickiederchef7126]

I am owning one too. Let me guess what adjustments you did: changed the Volume knob with a Dome know, changed the tremolo arm with one to stick in? In addition mine has an issue with the octave purity.

[@adampeters1241]

Great specs on this guitar! Would love to see it in more colors

[@devonboes2376]

Beautiful guitar cant wait to own one of these. Just waiting for after Christmas til I make my purchase.

[@mikemeloofficial]

Such a solid guitar, got one myself and the thing really sounds and plays quite nicely. Marco is one of my favorite guitarists and this guitar is a great pairing to his style.

[@ClearColorCloud]

When you split the bridge pickup, is the volume lower than the other single coils?

[@tristand5461]

Beautiful guitar, that tone is freakin juicy.

That bend at 6:58 is possibly the juiciest of all bends

[@fracrolla]

Orgoglio italiano!!!

[@SO-bp2uc]

If I ever get this guitar, I’ll have to get a set of EMG retroactives. Not that I’d permanently change them to the retroactives. I’d swap them back and force during string changes depending on what tones I’m craving. Absolutely awesome guitar!

[@claudetoybox]

I bought this guitar and I can attest that it looks and plays beautifully. The caramelised neck is a treat. However, when I combine Marco's guitar with Marco's AXE FX preset, I still don't sound like him - what am I doing wrong?? 🤣🤣🤣 Sincerely though, this is a great guitar. Great playing as usual Marco. Ciao Marco. Vengo dall'Australia. Bravissimo!

[@DanRodriguez1]

Amazing! 😍😍😍

[@yingnanwang9304]

Can’t wait to hold it in my hands ❤

[@dntinpalevo]

How is it? Any issues with the guitar so far?

[@yingnanwang9304]

@@dntinpalevo nope, I love it and play it everyday. The neck is very comfortable, I like it more than my MSM100. It can easily deliver the same tone as Marco’s latest music. Tuning stability is ok. And I like the painting of mine. One small complaint is maybe switch can be better quality. Also should remove the push-pull which nobody gonna use it. Definitely worth the price if you are Marco’s fan!

[@bedirhanozturk612]

We want to more left handed models 🤘

[@franckrichard8077]

I am soo waiting for a fixed bridge version of this one !

just like some kind of old Lukather stuff !

[@phenixreturns]

maybe better with a rosewood fingerboard like his original model (before this one ) +Emg boost and more presence control like Gilmour

[@Matthewhorn93]

Easy enough change. And it's low enough price with good specs that it'd be worth it imo

[@edgarguzman9191]

I’m buying a new guitar but I can’t decide between one of these and an SSS American Ultra. I would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

[@danielalonso9460]

I can see how you matured in music and taste.

Are these stainless steel frets?

this is not really important for the price you can t have all that ibanez has for 2000 2500 E

how about the clean sound ? very far from a Strat or not ?

[@familiarfaces2221]

I love this but you can hear the guitar through the mic as he strums it! Can you please do one without that so we can hear how audio of just the guitar tone please??? thank you so much, thats the only thing stopping me from buying it

[@goredrinker2740]

1000 times prettier than the ibanez, sorry not sorry. And i'm an ibanez fan

the only negative point is that we at Brazil cannot buy them directly in the country. the rest: perfection. i'd better work the sh*t out of me, saving money to buy this one.

[@cpamiseso]

Ah no more japanese made ones then... But this one will do as well.

[@silkk60]

Per una questione di praticità se la chitarra avesse avuto un push push anzichè il push pull sarebbe il top dei top...ma volendo la sostituzione non è poi così complicata.

[@juancarlosbernabeaviles]

I prefer passive pickups.

[@phenixreturns]

it sounds like young Luke

[@noob-shredder4757]

More like ultra strat for me

[@phenixreturns]

it can't be a strat with active pickups like that

[@CroneRaven1810]

No Stainless steel frets? C'mon Charvel. Ibanez, ESP LTD, Solar do it for less as well.

[@phenixreturns]

maybe better with a rosewood fingerboard like his original model (before this one ) +Emg boost and more presence control like Gilmour too

[@minstrel9806]

True that, but even LTD signatures don't have SS frets and cost as much as this guitar. They come with an hard case tho.

[@mc30052]

1600€ for MIM guitar? Okay, it's really nice one, but so cal are already quite expensive... 1000€ sound more decent for mass production guitars

[@alexjackson8841]

It being Mexican made isn’t the be all and end all. For the most part a good setup on one of these will having it feeling exactly like a USA/Japanese made guitar. Only thing I’d want for that price is stainless steel frets.

[@Jeanraut]

Can't play it with a clean sound?😄

[@DavidFeilyMusic]

Awesome guitar for an amazing player. However not a fan of the emg pickup sound at all

Bolt on. No case. Made in Mexico. $1,600. Fkucking ridiculous, but I did need a good laugh.

[@phenixreturns]

i can add no boost no Gilmour specs and no rosewood but i want this too :) you pay the signature

[@alexjackson8841]

I’d expect a case but apart from that the price it’s perfectly reasonable. Play one - it’s playability competes with any high end $3000 guitar. Seriously! I find my charvel comfier than any Suhr, Ibanez J custom, PRS, music man etc…

[@mc30052]

Yeah price is absurd, the spread is huge with other charvel classic.I will wait on used for 800-900€ max...
