Charvel vs suhr

[toxikdeth]

Alright I know alot of you are going to say apples vs oranges but I thought to post this since theyre both bolt ons and many people on this forum have said suhr makes the best bolt ons. So what would you say is better overall a custom shop charvel or a suhr.

Well, it is a tough comparison.
So tough that I would think it would depend on the day, the model and what you are looking for.

It's kind of like asking if you like pepsi or coke. Both good, just a little different.

If I had to say that all things being even, same options across the board.



Suhr. The product is just maybe... 1/10th better.

Not that the Charvels are bad at all, its just the Suhr's are that much better.

But then, Suhr is a little less customizable. No neck thru, no stars.


Can I say both? They really are both very good.

Yeah I knew people were going to say differant. But their also kinda similar.

I'm gonna stick my neck out on this one and comment a few things.
1. Were really getting down to a personal preference when making a comparisons between the two. Both are great guitars so either one would be a great investment.

2. The plus with a custom... your specs your dream guitar.
That's the whole idea with a custom.

3. Suhr - no matter what you can't or won't go wrong with Suhr.
Great guitars no matter what they look like the playability is top notch.

4. Knowing no matter which of the two I would choose I would be getting a great guitar.
That would bring it down to a money issue.
Which of the two would be cheaper that would be the one I'd go with.

Good luck and have fun with whatever you choose.

Oh no Im not buying one I was just curious to see wich brand jcfers would prefer becuase I have seen some say that suhrs are the ultimate bolt on guitars.

Love them both.

Truth be told, IMHO.
It is like comparing a Mercedes Benz to a Mitsubishi.

Benz being Suhr. Soft, classy, smooth,etc.

Mitsubishi being Charvel. Functional, good value (USA STD production), can beat it up and not feel bad about it.

I haven't played a Suhr yet, but really, look and listen to them.. I think the winner is obvious.

Also, I've never read a single bad review about Suhr..

[toxikdeth]

God dammit no dont say suhrs are better

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was gonna say.

The only small 'issue' with Suhr is that for me, there's no 'vibe' with them. They're very pretty and doubtless play and sound great, but they seem like a session players guitar, rather than a 'rockers' guitar. If that makes any sense...

I played a suhr modern "I believe thats what it was called" I thought it was amazing but right after I played it I played this

Maybe it was just the graphic but I liked it way better.
Then I played one of those de martini "yes I know I spelt it wrong" and thought it was up to par with the suhr in terms of feel.

Funny because in my original post I was going to mention that they don't seem like metal guitars, but then I watched a video of Reb Beach playing one and it sounded killer as well.

Most guys that I've seen playing Suhr are session type players though.
