Steve Vai had a Charvel nicknamed "Green Meanie" when he did his Flex-able record and then playing with Alcatrazz. Wayne Charvel said in an interview that Steve Vai, Gary Moore and Eddie Van Halen were visiting his shop frequently, taking bodies and necks and knocking them hard to hear how they resonate to match a neck and a body.

[@chuckleggio279]

The Green Meanie was Grover Jackson's personal guitar that started out as a cherry burst paint job and he loaned it to Steve to take it on tour until he could make Steve a guitar. Steve had it painted green while on loan to him and when Grover called to ask for it back Steve told him he painted it green, Grover was like "you painted my guitar green, seriously?" Anyway he told Steve just keep it, it's a gift.

[@gtrman69777]

Hearing Dagan say he wasn't around for the 80s blows my mind..just a young man still!! Few these days represent the greatest era of guitar...the 80s...from the way he dresses to the live of hair music to his style and choice of guitars Is PURE 80S... RIGHT ON BROTHER.. MAD RESPECT 🤘😜🎸🎶🔥

[@roywarriner8441]

Let me guess, you also think that was the best decade for rock and todays music is garbage. You would be wrong on all counts. I'm probably much older than you and I think we are just coming into the golden age of guitars. I'd say the guitar came into it's own as a lead instrument in the 50's though. In my opinion the 80's is the decade of the least influence or innovation.

[@ericwarrington6650]

@@roywarriner8441 you got the today's music is garbage part correct...that's not even really debatable..at least the crap mainstream stuff...60-70-80....those 3 decades gave us the best rock has to offer imo..I grew up in the 80s and 90s...I'm 47 so I'm no youngster buddy.. been around..I've seen almost 200 shows.

Very good job on the explanation I couldn't have explained it any better. A lot of people didn't know if it wasn't for Randy we may never have had Jackson guitars. And think back over the decades of all the iconic Jackson guitars that have come and gone. It's such a good story that doesn't really get told enough.

[@BrettKingman]

Well done, Dagan. I'm a little older than you and had my first Charvel around '85. It was a cobra blue San Dimas with the pointy headstock and brass hardware. Great guitar. Qantas managed to break the headstock off on a flight from NYC to Melbourne so I stuck the neck in the garden and put a Kramer neck on the body. (I know, I know, I was young and idiotic. Now I'm old and idiotic..) Anyway, a year or so later, when they moved the line to Japan, I was offered my pick from the dozen or so models they had then. They were doing amps too - under the Jackson label. I took a 750XL and a Fusion plus a double stack 4x12 and Jackson head. The guitars were OK (especially the 750) but the Fusion never stayed in tune so I hocked it pretty quick. The amp served me well for a few years on the road. I gave it back to the distributor in the end in a tattered and toured condition. He wasn't happy (but what did he expect?). Come 2002 and Fender bought the brand and, in my opinion, did proper justice to it. I have around 25 of them now and they're all great. Thanks for the vid and sorry for the long rant! All the best. B.

In 1986 I bought a Made in Japan Charvel Model 4, and it was amazing.

[@gregorytranchita2676]

Absolutely love watching your videos! Your enthusiasm for guitar is second to none. I grew up in the 80s so, for me, the best era of music ever. Im also a guitar/gear addict so your channel is pure entertainment. Thanks for constant great content!

[@greekfreak1980]

Charvel is the OG of the Superstrats, back in the 80´s EVERYONE was playing them. George Lynch & EVH were buying parts from Charvel and building their own guitars in the late 70´s, later Charvel started to custom build guitars for guys like Jake E.Lee, Warren DeMartini (Ratt) , Criss Oliva (Savatage), Gary Moore, Allan Holdsworth, Joe Satriani, even Jeff Beck. Steve Vai´s "Green Meanie", which was the "blueprint for the JEM, was a Charvel custom shop guitar. And they made the transition to the modern age very well. and still make some cutting edge stuff. You see guys like Guthrie Govan, Angel Vivaldi, Rick Graham or Joe Duplantier from Gojira, palying Charvels.

[@whitebread940]

Great video. I’m 52 and always been a Fender strat man. Recently just bought a Jackson soloist to try out the Floyd Rose for fun. I’m now selling my guitars ( Fender & Epiphone) to get a Charvel San Dimas ash sunburnt. They are a joy to play.

[@dixee6498]

That is awesome!

[@salildeshpande7]

Great to hear you enjoyed something new after playing vintage for so long. It's such a joyous hobby.

[@tony_n316]

I have a Jackson (JS34Q Dinky) which is a 350.00 guitar and most recently I got the new Charvel San Dimas HSS in Blizzard Pearl for 1,000.00. Both guitars are a complete joy to play, but the appointments on the Charvel are just so much better with the rolled fingerboard, Floyd 1000, No-Load tone pot and an EVH low friction 500K volume pot. The Jackson is a straight up shred machine, but the Charvel is a straight up... Everything machine.

[@billygwalthney369]

I have 1 of the charvels from 1988 with reversed pointed headstock that says Charvel by Jackson. I bought it myself new back then. All original near mint condition 👍

[@jimmartin4430]

I bought my Charvel Model 4 in 1987. Went to the guitar shop to buy a fuzz box and walked out with my beautiful Charvel. It’s the best guitar I’ve ever owned and play it regularly. So versatile but more importantly it’s so stable.

[@BessieBopOrBach]

Fun video! The most important current Charvel fact, though, is that all the Pro Mod Charvels are made in the very same factory in Ensenada, Mexico that makes Fender's own instruments! They aren't just owned by Fender -- they ARE Fenders. And in my opinion this makes them kinda special, because most Jacksons are contract built in Asia.

[@bigquinny32]

Brilliant video yet again Dagan. Just got a Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR. Amazing instrument and up there with my PRS CE24 and 1993 Limited Edition Fender USA Strat.

Just to make you jealous, I grew up in Hollywood in the 80's and spent just about every weekend on the Sunset Strip going to all the clubs when hair metal was huge. My girlfriend at the time was a photographer for some rock magazines so we were backstage a lot and at all the parties after the shows! God it was a good time to be alive! I miss it.

[@NWTMasterWolf]

The 80's were awesome and I love the styles from then still. Charvel has always been a favorite of mine.

[@othrerir_jussi]

Jackson and Charvel guitars will always have a special place in my heart. I always knew they had a connection but never really researched it, i just knew i liked them.

[@rocktorrocks]

Awesome vid as usual Dagan! I have a neon yellow Charvel So Cal that screams 80’s and I love it. I can’t help but hammer out Motley Crue riffs whenever i pick it up. I feature it often on my channel for 80’s covers. It’s surprisingly versatile for other styles too.

[@victorramsey5575]

I have a white with maple board so-cal. I play it more than any of my other guitars. I discovered the middle position with both 'buckers split and going into a little fuzz is pure heaven for some moody jazz.

[@rocktorrocks]

@@victorramsey5575 So true! I was genuinely impressed with the tones it can get with the humbuckers split. The middle position is great, I’ve found it gets a surprisingly close traditional strat tone. The white so cals look awesome BTW, i think they had that as an option the same year as mine.

[@AudaciousAce1989]

[@markslima1557]

Bought in a brand-new Snow White San Dimas in 2020, something to do in quarantine. Best decision in my musical life - best guitar I've ever owned. Yes, it is an 80s shred machine monster, but it is so much more versatile than just that.. with the single-coil option gives me six distinct tones to work with. Plays like such a joy! Buy one immediately.

Since the moment I graduated from high school I've been a huge Charvel guy. Bought a new Made In Mexico So Cal like the one Dagan plays in the intro (but in all white), one of the best guitars I've ever had, hands down. However I then traded it for an older Made In Japan CX291 from I believe 1990 (whoch has the toothpaste logo but on a Fender headstock), It's a guitar I've been dreaming about for a long time and I literally can't stop playing it!

I preferred the Charvel w/ the Jackson headstocks. Criss Oliva's Charvels always made me want one. I saw one at a pawn shop back in the later 80's, it was just a black Charvel w/ the Pointy headstock and at that time even back then they wanted 900 for it..

Thank you MARC DIGLIO for playing the most infectious hair metal riffs on you old beautiful red charvel at the end of the best decade in music history.

[@see7music261]

Wayne stayed about a year after Grover purchased. Documentary called "The Charvel Gang" explains it well. Grover worked for Wayne for basically free for about a year and borrowed money from his parents ($8000) to buy it when Wayne was ready to get out of it.

When I first starting playing guitar I went to a local guitar store and he refused to sell me a Feder Squire. He instead sold me a Jackson/Charvel model 1 and a 30 Fender amp for $250. I still have both pieces 24 years later and still love playing this guitar to this day.

[@elsantoproductora]

Charvel also made a replacement neck for Guilmour's black strat

[@damonsdeliberatedetour492]

I started playing them in the 80's. I have one made by Lee Garver. I still have mine from the 80's and a couple of others.

I had a Charvel Model 3 back in the late 80’s it had the pointy headstock. I didn’t get on with as the neck felt wider and flatter than the Strats I was used to. Also my band mate called it The Shovel! I’m guessing the current range have a narrower neck, more Fender like but with the flatter radius?

[@mojoi_iv_v7_i975]

Great video! I personally have never liked Charvel's with the Fender headstock. I have a Charvel Model 4 from about 1987. That head stock is my favorite. I don't care how good the guitars they make today are, I don't like the look and I can buy other guitars that play and look great. If they ever brought back that late 80's head stock, I'd be tempted to buy another Charvel. And I really wish Charvel would bring back the Model 4. That was a great guitar, it really set itself apart from all other guitars at the time or today. BRING BACK THE MODEL 4!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chuckleggio279]

Karl had left Charvel to go on his own in 1979 and Randy had the guitar built in 1979 at Karl's shop. The guitar was built while Randy was still with Quiet Riot. Randy wore polka dots and bow ties while in Quiet Riot.

[@djmessina9278]

I am not sure exactly, but i do know that my high school girlfriend used to babysit for Wayne’s kids in like 1985-86 and he was actively making his Charvel guitars at the time. In fact, she was having him make one for me as a birthday gift, but we broke up before i got it. 😢

After getting a Signature Wolfgang... I'll wait for the Guthrie for my Charvel, as it was my dream guitar until I learned about Wolfgangs. I believe his Charvel could be the most versatile guitar ever made

[@enthused7591]

As a huge Charvel fan, I think we're in the midst of the EVH brand becoming the next legendary guitar brand. Coming from the same Mexico factory, the 5150 series guitars are similar enough to Charvels but with paint matched hockey stick headstocks and slightly thicker necks, which I like a lot. I think at first, people thought the EVH brand owned by Fender wasn't super cool because it was like this over commercialization of Eddie's name, but now that he's passed and knowing that Eddie himself had lots of input on these guitars, my bet is that the EVH brand is kind of in an infancy of becoming that next big household brand name that people want.

[@eddiejr540]

I would love to try one if the 5150 guitars but I can’t get my hands on one and I been burned buying online but I agree with you in that!!!!

They haven't been doing the fluoro colors, the last few years - I do hope they bring them back. Need me a "Kawasaki green" one - but a fluoro yellow...orange...or not pink one would be an awesome "next, best". If I got the cash together today, it'd have to be the white one. I do !Ike the white - it's crisp, and contrasts well with whatever you're. Whether you wear a lot of black because you're I to metal...or whether you're just a fat bastard like me..(!😆), It's good to have a white guitar so you can wear black and still see the guitar when you're on stage!

I played a Charvel only once... In a guitar store while I was waiting on my Ibanez to get repaired when I was 15. So-Cal San Dimas I believe, HSS Black on Black pickguard with a Maple neck and fretboard and blacked out hardware, sounded amazing, felt amazing, been chasing that guitar ever since because I couldn't afford the $990.00 that day and I haven't seen one like that in over a decade... Charvels are worth the money hands down...

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

It's simple to explain, the way I feel it. When you pick up a Charvel it's like a playful puppy. Wagging it's tail happily, it wants to play. Wants to just have fun, and be little silly. On the surface it's a bit tongue in cheek, clearly a bit of a love letter to the 80s. Underneath it's all business. Finely made, great specs, spectacularly well playing necks.

[@rosskn]

So I went to your Manchester branch to try out a Charvel DK24 sadly they didn't have any just some San Dimas ones which I tried but I really want the DK 24 the salesman (who was very nice and helpful) he said they could get one from another branch oh good I thought I can try it out before shelling out £999 but no I'd have to lay out a deposit before they would bring it from one PMT store to another PMT store then if I didn't like it I'd get the deposit back. I was a bit taken aback that I'd have to do this never had to put a deposit down to try out a guitar that they had in stock in another store.

Wayne didn't have anything to do with the bumble bee. Grover built that one. Sorry I keep chiming in here. I just watched a 2 hour interview with Grover, and this was all covered there, Still fresh in my head.

I love Charvel guitars...

I purchased my charvel so-cal version 2 from PMT online, sadly the setup was shocking, The nut needed major work, as if it had just been missed from the checks and setup. Guess they can’t all be winners…

That would be a problem from Charvel not PMT. You would think each guitar gets checked by the shop but sadly that does not happen.

The Bumblebee was built as the Charvel garage
