1986 Charvel Model 2 – In-depth Gear Demo – MasterThatGear!

In this MasterThatGear! video we look at my new love, a Japanese made 1986 Charvel Model 2 in awesome Ferrari red!

Talk about a hard rocking machine, I talk about the upgrades and repairs that have been made, namely replacing the bridge with a German made Floyd Rose with D-Tuna and have that all realigned.

All guitar sounds recorded using Charvel Model 2 through Line 6 Helix LT. Intro music written and recorded by me. Check out the mastertheguitar Patreon page if you would like the Jamtrack of the music at the start or a copy of the Line 6 HELIX patch used for this video.

Thanks for watching!
