CHARVEL CX692 reviewed by Robbpaul

I am not joking but this is the best guitar I own. This includes PRS core, Les Paul and American Fender and Ibanez.
Neck is incredible. Comfier than a wizard but just as playable. The pickups (stock) for some reason really sing and aren't over bright and compressed yet loads of harmonics still. I’ve had other pups in, but always gone back to the originals.
I must add that the two of these I own (bought another I liked it so much) have been customised with a ‘proper’ Floyd which required a bit of routing to the front but a truly amazing guitar.
