A couple of new tone machines I just got a couple of months ago from the Charvel Custom Shop, stainless 6100 frets, black is ash and white is alder, light relic nitro, Jalen Origin pickups..hope to be using these on the Roth Las Vegas shows coming up!

That white Charvel sends me to boner status. Hell yeah, I wish I was out there to have a beer and hear you rip brother!! You da man Al!!!

 

[Racerxrated]

Congrats! They look amazing....I'll bet they sound fantastic too.

 

[Webb]

Nice. killer guitars. I just got a Charvel nitro and love it.

 

[psychodave]

Both look great.

What’s that thing on the back of the headstock of the black one?

 

[PDC]

Killer weapons! Nobody, and I mean nobody, deserves this gig more than you. For every person in the room to justifiably see and hear DLR, there is somebody in the room to see and hear you.

 

[fek]

Yes. Just yes.

Pretty sure its a sticky pick holder

Hey Al it would be cool if you did a rig run down video and demo some of the tones you’re gonna use in the 5 Vega$ shows. Just a thought.

+1

For sure.

Funny, I was just talking about you Al in that Splawn thread a few threads down. If you cover band came to the Midwest next year I'd be all over that.

some magnetic material to hold allen wrenches courtesy of my former guitar tech Thomas Nordegg who is Vai's long time tech!

Looking at your nitros… they make them differently. I’ve had a bunch and it seems my number one has the bridge pickup closer to the Floyd like your guitars. I’ve seen a lot Charvel nitros with the bridge pickup further away, which obviously changes the tone/sound a lot. Did you request the bridge locations? Obviously it’s a custom order since you have 22 frets, etc. I’m just curious.

Anyone with two TC 2290's and all that gears is alright with me !

Are those just the basic "L" shaped trem blocks? I got a Floyd Trem-endus for one of my guitars, the same as the ESP Arming Adjuster, and still doesn't "block" it enough for my D Tuna. Considering other alternatives.

Set list ?
Is this Davids last show?

 

[stratjacket]

Killer guitars!! I love the white one, mainly for the old school headstock. I’m not sure why Charvel does not do that any longer.

 

[The One]

Great looking guitars. Also love the rig in the background.

 

[Fret-Shredder]

Both are amazing. And I bet they play as sweet as they look. Congratulations Al. Rock on brother.

Pickup placement was not an option, just whatever came with the guitar
