Owned for about a year now
It's good. The action gets low with no uncontrollable buzzing the finish is great. The only thing I don't like is aesthetic, The way the maple neck meets the maple fretboard the wood coloring is quite different but that's really not a big deal. The fit and finish on this guitar is better than a usa fender, that might upset some people but it's true. I highly doubt there's any guitar on the market for a thousand dollars Is that can beat the quality of this one. Don't sleep on it.
Great guitar
I've had all sorts of guitars over my 60+ years of playing, both more expensive and cheaper than this Charvel. This is one of the better ones I've owned as to sound, playability, and especially features. Rolled fingerboard, locking tuners, Graphtech nut, Duncan pickups. I've had this guitar for about 6 months and couldn't be happier. Took it to my luthier for setup, and he was also impressed. Didn't have to do much to it. I don't find the single coil noise to be any worse than my strats. I would buy it again.
Good but not Perfect
Have had this guitar for a few weeks now. Overall, it's a good guitar. The Seymour pickups sound great and the body and neck are comfortable for playing. The natural sustain is very good. The frets are well polished.
The biggest issue that I've noticed is that the cavities don't appear to be adequately shielded so there is a lot of hum from the single coil pickups, even on clean amp settings. I have a MIM Strat with single coil pickups that is nowhere near as noisy as this guitar. Also, because the neck, middle, and split bridge pickups are not balanced in terms of output, neck/middle and middle/split bridge pickup positions are not quiet. The bridge humbucker, at least, is quiet.
Some other issues that I've encountered are that there are parts of the neck that are a little rough and that there is already a little fret sprout from the drier environment where I live.
Good luck and keep rocking.
