"The Epiphone Slash Les Paul is a Bad Deal" - Hudba
Just to clarify, there was a misinterpretation on my part. Sean said he wasn't "vibing" with the track, meaning with the upcoming WSS album in full writing swing, he wasn't able to come up with anything he was happy with for it. It wasn't that he didn't like it, he just felt that if he wasn't able to come up with anything special, he shouldn't be on the track. It wasn't a diva move at all, sorry for any misunderstandings!

That color "correction" was priceless!!!
If there isn't a jazz bar somewhere called Hornpub someone's missing a trick.
Thanks for the love man, what a great video. Sorry I couldn't find time for the track. You killed it!! I owe you 1 solo. We will do a track together on my next sig release ;) - screen shot this. Peace.
OK, I take back my comment about not liking you. Hook Hunter up with a solo and you'll be on my "cool list" again... Lol
Top man.
All love, man. Stoked for the new album!!
I'm so confused, Why's the name Shane?
Very channel appropriate to write a whole song for the artist to play on and they just say nah. Extremely high Intergrity
🙃🙃🙃🥲
The demo was killer
Been waiting for this one!!!!!!
I used to pray for this video
Guitar sounds massive! The 57/66 is EMGs best pick up set imo. I'm glad I waited for you to do the demo so I could hear your thoughts and the tone you got. It's the perfect super strat.
i was just wondering when this vid was gonna come out lol
YESSS i’ve been waiting for this one!!!!!
More of a Les Paul and Tele guy and not the biggest fan of EMG's but I saw this guitar on one of your videos checking out all the new Charvels coming out and was interested. So I looked up Sean Long and While She Sleeps...fell in love instantly and bought one for my self. This guitar is something else, a total riff machine and super stripped back workhorse. Love it!
I definitely thought that intro was Isolation by Alter Bridge for a sec lol
Finally!
I got one in July and I love it!
Man, have I waited long for this video, and it was well worth it!
Very good breakdown of the guitar and the demo nailed the WSS-vibe 100%, I could hear the gang-shouts and screams in my head :D
Good job, buddy!
I have a Pro Mod San Dimas and it is amazing. I have the purple one with the Floyd Rose and ebony board with a pair of Duncans.
That was the best demo track yet!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼
The demo sounded great. I was worried after watching the beginning. Sucks he wouldn’t help you out with a solo, seems like a dick move
FINALLY
You ain't telling me NOTHING about the Whammy Pedal, Junior ... I got one the first year they were produced!😎 Seriously, though, I'm glad that they also put that functionality into their RPx50/x55 series multi-effectors. If I need it, it's there.
Thanks a lot Hunter, like your Channel and your Demo about the perfect Strat has given me the last push to buy this lady as my personal christmas gift in 2023, so super cool and smooth to play, the neck is from another world, i have about 6 really great guitars who also have a great playability, but this Charvel is outstanding, and the EMGs are killer, sounds just awesome, so thanks again and keep up the great work, rock on😎🤟🏻
Cheers
Jesus christ finally been waiting months for this!
Was literally looking at this guitar a couple hours ago on thomann.. what a beautiful guitar.. watching his video on this is inspirational in of its self. love while she sleeps, Sean is an amazing guitarist. This is definitely the next guitar I buy
I picked up the Sean Long model a few months ago on a whim as I was in the market for a super Strat with EMG / active pickups. Was not familiar with him, his work or band but, wow am I impressed. It has easily become one of my main guitars along with my HSS American Pro II. It chugs, cleans up nicely and a riff monster. I also can not get over the neck. It’s extremely comfortable and feels way more expensive than it really is.
Nice video! I just picked one up and also a yellow strap looks sick af 😊
I love maple fret boards. It's should be on more guitars.
I agree. More of them need to be on Les Paul style guitars, too.
Just ordered one thanks again for the video
HUGE SOUND!! You lit that song on fire Hunter...!!!
That demo track. This is not the Hunter that we knew. Mad respect, you always work hard to improve in every video.
I’ve been looking at this guitar for months now trying to decide if I want this guitar or not, and I think this review is the push I need to get it! However I have one small question/rebuttal. this is simply my opinion, I feel like when you get a signature guitar, you are getting a guitar that is set up on this person specific preference of how they play. Yeah some might be getting it because it’s a cool guitar but it’s also one that people are gonna get because it’s Sean longs. So I feel like when you get a guitar like that, your specifically asking for their specs, but simply my opinion! I’m glad you like it
Like it. Good little ditty. You ripped.
Just received this guitar. I had an Evertune bridge installed and put on strap locks when i got it.
I mainly wanted this model because I love the EMG 57/66 pickup set. However, after playing it for a bit, I have to agree that the neck is really what makes this one special. It is the most comfortable neck I've ever played and it was flawless straight out of the box (no sharp fret ends, no high frets, nicely polished, etc.).
It's also a surprisingly light guitar, which is a nice bonus for my back and shoulder.
For me, it's the perfect insturment.
I’m saving for a charvel and depending on my money situation this may be what I buy
Shame he didn't want to play on it as you are demoing his sig. Cool review.
I LOVE Charvel Guitars and I really dislike that they don’t provide a case, but it was interesting to see that they didn’t provide Sean a case either. Wow…
This was one of your best tracks Holy shit!!!
That Jet riff at the end of the video 😂 wasn't expecting it
Crazy how you get damn near perfect Mexican charvels while I struggle to get one. I had to send one back because of sharp fret ends and loose neck, and when I went to a guitar store it also had sharp fret ends along with another abundance of issues. Thankfully the people there were more than helpful and sanded the fret ends down, gave it new strings and a set up, tightened the jack and now plays AMAZINGLY.
It has a few cosmetic defects such as two small dents on the headstock, the nut doesn't sit completely flush on one end and I had to bend the electronic plate in the opposite direction because it was sticking out but all in all I'm happy with my charvel dk 24
I've had the Sean Long signature for awhile now and it's great. I agree with it being one of the best Strat-style guitars out there. I added an Ernie Ball Comfort Strap (the black with yellow stripe, obviously) and some strap locks, and it's pretty close to perfect. The pickups can end up sounding very aggressive, which is not necessarily a bad thing most of the time but, as mentioned, the pickups can't be lowered. That being said, it is still easily a 9-9.5/10.
You are a riff wizard, Hunter \m/
Sean is a total beast, absolutely love his playing. I'm not a fan of the yellow pickup cover but apart from that, what a belter of a guitar. No one needs a tone control... there I said it! 🎸🖤
I have two of them.. fantastic guitar !
Nice guitar. I have those sets of pickups in two of my E-II guitars and I really like them.
Best demo track yet!!!
Yo it’s my favorite CZcamsr making a song on my Favorite Guitarist’s Signature. Sick
If I were gonna order a custom Charvel, I would basically get this with a roasted neck and red instead of yellow. This thing RIPS. I've been trying to get one for a display in the guitar room at Sweetwater, but haven't been able to yet. So sick.
In my opinion charvel is the kind of classy workhorse guitars, I've yet to play one personally but I've been eyeing that joe duplantiar signature model for quite a while, it just looks so good
Had this Charvel for about a week and it's one of the best super strats I've played and looks awesome. I'm not a huge fan of the band I like 2 or 3 songs. I love this guitar but for my style I'm thinking of switching the EMGs for something different like SD JB/59 or a different set of EMGs. This guitar has a massive sound my only complaint is that my bridge edges feel sharp but I've gotten use to it. You won't miss inlays if you get this guitar but I've also had many guitars without inlays and I prefer the look. I play different styles like AIC, Metallica, TBDM, LOG etc it works flawlessly you don't need a neck through I can reach the frets just fine with medium/large size hands. I parted a super start with a basswood body years ago and it played amazing as well but sounded great but didn't have the playability this guitar has its just easy to play. Try one out if you like Fender style strats but are looking for a nice super strat this is perfect.
Bro the track is killer and you always nail the vibe so well. I’ve followed WSS for a long time and it seems off he didn’t want to jam. The whole band are so DIY and so pro fan engagement.
As always, great video and content.
First for the double cut!
Track kills!
Not sure what he didn't like about the track...I thought it was awesome. Do you think the issue with not being able to lower the pickups is the depth of the cover or the pickup itself?
Sometimes you really impress me with your work output, Hunter. You’re such a riff machine.
Isolation 💪🏻 at the beginning… hell yeah
Recently bought one and i love it! Swapped the yellow 57 for a black one. But hes right the 57 has A LOT of output
So much that i need to use a hard gate cause its straight up noisy and compared to other guitars i track the waves are massive LOL Sounds awesome though
Would be cool to see your thoughts on the Virtual Jeff pedal. Its basically a whammy pedal but you can attach it to the body like a tremolo and even do a virtual capo with it. I don't know about the rest of the comments but I think it would be cool to see the gretsch baritone with an octave drop virtual capo
very pretty, but I've decided no more super strats, my next guitar is going to be a nice les paul.
You did freakin' great on this video!! Did you grow taller recently?
i am a complete beginner, but my local guitar shop has one and it's tempting me way too much, is it a good idea for me to get it or not recommended for a beginner ? (btw, incredible review my man :) )
Which one do you prefer: this one or the Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HSS 2PT CM?
Agu what string gauge do you use for drop c
I have ProMod DK24 that will not stay in tune. If you even breath on the trem it goes out of tune and bending will do the same. Does anyone know how to keep these 2 point trems in tune? I've set it up properly, locked down the posts, but no luck. Almost ready to get rid of it.
that demo track is a killer tho!
Those Charvels are $1199. Used for around a grand. I have 15 guitars and in the end I always go back to my Satchel signature. If I tuned it down to C I think it just might surpass this one seeing we have Fishman influence pickups. Tomorrow its on.
Charvel makes pretty good ice cream too. 🙂
Hey ! What is your guitar tuning in this video test, please ? It sounds lower.
Now I want one. Dammit. :)
22:08 fuck yeah JET!
Have you switched to amp sims? It sounds simmy
Wait, what is the PH guitar??
Love charvel that’s why I have 4
This thing is about perfect. It’s close the JR Charvel without the Floyd rose. I MUST HAVE !!!!!!!!!
Can someone please tell me what this little black block is he puts on his strings after the nut? Im curious what its called and what it does 😊
Probably a jimmyclip
It helps with the extreme string sounds you hear when he's trying out riffs
@@Sticky_Tea It is a Jimmy Clip, that's how I heard of them
9:06 I'm not a guitar expert but is charvel own by fender?
Yes
Nice, the demo track turned out good without any other guitarist. I especially liked the low-high dynamics of the verses, that gave me some ideas for new songs.
That last part was in two different modes in the rhythm and lead tracks so that was kind of jarring at the first listen. I’m not sure I hated that though, it kinda grabbed the ear how the notes grinds against each other.
@@PatriciaP1111 Not my favourite part ever, no.
I see that EVH sitting there behind it.
When is Charvel gonna start putting stainless steel frets on their affordable(ish) guitars?
So Sean didn't like it huh
Between Sean’s new signature from charvel and Jim’s new signature, I am really torn between the two. I am a die hard jim root fan. I own two of his guitars and they are both my ride or die favorites. But…BUT… Sean’s new charvel strat is damn sexy. I love everything about it besides the gloss finish. But I can get over that considering how simplistic and perfect it is. The yellow accents are awesome and that maple neck really pops on a black body. I don’t know… I really want Jim’s new charvel…but this one’s right where I wanna be. Plus I am not a fan of Floyd’s in any shape or form. So this might be the best of both worlds
For throwing that demo together in a day….or 2? It’s one of your best demos to date …. I’ve never even heard of him or his band …I had to Google his name to find out anything about him …. Maybe I need to get out more….but for him to shoot you down after writing a cool ass demo for his guitar is fn WEAK SAUCE!!!! What a lil ….. I’m not going to allow this to turn me in to a internet thug and start calling people names but that was a weak move!
I just don't understand the decision to go with a traditional block heal. The contoured heal is a must in my opinion, especially for a metal signature guitar.
In my opinion, it is 99% perfect, just needs a reverse headstock
For everyone saying it was a dick move on Sean's part, lets not forget he probably gets tons of requests for his time/talent, is probably very busy all the time with things musical, so for him to carve out time and attention to something it probably has to blow him away.
See above comment. 💯 Righto.
When did charvel stop those quartersawn necks? I always enjoyed those because often you'd get a little figuring.
that key will be G# in drop C
2:39 I dont like when its so rounded you might slip off with strings... Ive seen that and its nonreversable and makes the guitar unusable
Guitar looks great! Bit poor on Seans part to say no on contributing though.
EMG are still the kings of active pickups and not the underdogs in my opinion. Fishmans do sound pretty good, but I still like EMGs better. Fishman have just got a good PR/marketing team and campaign. And also have guys like Ken Susi (who is awesome btw) pushing and promoting and recruiting artists. I hate to say it, and its kinda ridiculous, but its almost borderline trendy/cliche to use Fishmans now. And that EMGs are "bad" 🙄 . I remember when the Fluence line first came out and nobody really gave a shit, and then after 4 or so years and some good marketing, now they are everywhere lol.
That whole part about Sean Long not liking it and not playing anything…….that’s a weird vibe…….. he of course doesn’t have to play on it but uhmm…… awkward……
whos pretending they didnt recognize that drum fill?
Really not a fan of the whole no fretboard inlays craze sweeping the modern guitar world lately. I do just fine with side dots, but I don't know, people say it looks sleek or whatever, to me it just looks like a rushed, half finished neck.
While She Sleeps are Sheffields best band.
We have a killer line up of bands tbf
@@Jando_Fett There’s a huge amount of talent in Sheff. I’m in Chesterfield but I played in post hardcore bands in the early 2000’s around Sheff. The scene is better now than it was then.
Some say BMTH but that’s a wicked lie.
Nah, the perfect strat is the Fender Player Plus I just won in a Crimson Guitars competition.....
Hell yea happy for you :))
Ssshhh, don't tell them all, it ruins our odds ;)
Roll back the volume a hair....duh.
The only hardtail San Dimas that’s gloss black with maple fretboard and headstock… and it had to have those dumb yellow things all over, and no SD 👎🏻
It's literally just the pickup and the logo. Sell the EMGs (the exclusive yellow EMG should move quickly) and pick up some used Duncans, and you're good?
Join the Kvlt of Floyd Rose. Don't be a Kahler.
Lol what a tool for not doing the collab
He should have played, poor from him.
If it only had the G&L headstock
Also why does Sean long look like Kootra from the creatures
Maybe he didn't like it because you basically ripped off a load of his songs in one track 🤣
Major 👎 to Sean Long for just being like, "Nah, I don't like it. Screw your colab." I've never heard of the guy before today and I already don't like him. 😅
Nah he’s chill. He just didn’t vibe with it, and he’s focusing all his creative energy on the new album which is gonna slap!!!
