SOLD - 2014 Charvel USA Guthrie Govan Birdseye Maple

What's Hot
MikeSMikeS Frets: 2133
edited July 2022 in Guitars £


Just arrived from Kev, but I absolutely hate it. Instant dislike. What was I thinking. Didn't even notice it had a Floyd Rose type bridge. I hate Floyd Rose bridges. Cutting string ends, tightening allen keys, It's meant to be quicker, I hate it with a passion. I've not even plugged it in. Put new strings on it, and that was enough for me. And what's with this "tremolo-no" business, no idea how to work that. If you like this sort of thing, I think they go for about £3300, Birdseye maybe more, I really don't care. You can have it for £1695. I hate it.

Apart from that, nice guitar. dream guitar for some even 

Few knocks on the bottom, but for £1695 I think there'll be a queue a mile long



Now SOLD, thanks to the buyer and the forum.

    Wow, there's a man who knows what he does and doesn't like!

    A few years ago I'd have been all over this but have seen the light! 

    Incredible price though, best of luck with the sale

    I wonder if people are a little put off but your lack of any buttery reference?

    Hmm, good point. Okay, somebody buy it so I can buy the family some butter?. Otherwise it's dry toast for breakfast. :#

    I had one of those, supposed to have jumbo frets. Interestingly they didn’t feel very high, and I found bending strings a lot more difficult than I would’ve anticipated…

    it sounded nice and it was very lightweight though

    Appreciate the negative comment. If this guitar sells it’ll be a miracle  =)

    Who is Geoffrey Govan anyway?

    I’ve got an Ash version, biggest frets on any guitar I’ve ever owned. Best set-up on any guitar I’ve owned as well. Looks like a coffee table though

    It is, IMHO by far the best of the Floyd trem setups you can get, no fine tuners, no locking nut, just a sweet “falling off a cliff” dive bomb action. Good luck man that’s an absolutely killer price. Were I not already at the “dry toast” phase this would be coming to Glasgow
