Guthrie Govan moves to Charvel!!! Pic inside!

[Anonymous]

Matt (who run's Matt's Music Center) said this on the Jackson/Charvel forum:

"Nothing has been released publicly but I'm being told by a reliable source he's made a change, this picture seems to show where he's landed. I'm in the process of ordering these and getting the specs on whatever his new model is going to be. If true, this is a great move by Charvel because I've been selling the hell out of Suhr's GG model for years, he's got a big following and has designed some great guitars with Suhr. I'm sure he'll do the same with Charvel..."

Awesome.... recently just started looking into charvels. GG is the best there is.

 

[snowdog]

I wonder why he left Suhr ? Is Charvel paying him to play their stuff ? (if he did)

You got that right!

The Custom Shop Charvels are some of the best guitars being made today to me...

That White One.... That is THE one. That aged neck just looks like it plays itself. Love it

Fender owns Charvel ---> $$$ endorsement

Very interesting....

Now just invite him to try one of your amps. Now that would be awesome

I wish I knew how to reach him - I think he'd really dig the amp!

[ACShreds]

24 fret Charvel just looks wrong.

I hope this isn't true...

Yeah the white one is cooler looking than most guitars. Cool to see GG playing a Charvel.

Good for Fender. Now if they can only steal Bonamassa from Gibson.

Sorry I have several Charvels but I'll take my Suhrs any day. Can't believe in 2012 I have to take the neck off the guitar to adjust it. In my climate its a problem and to me rediculous lack of ingenuity to not have some way to adjust the truss rod on these guitars. Makes it clearly an inferior instrument to me.

After hearing Steve's amp this past weekend I totally think Guthrie would love it, perfect for the style and tone Guthrie goes for.

I always did dig JB's version of If Heartaches Were Nickels more with a strat.
