Overview
Vivaldi's signature axe delivers spectacular style with a modified Dinky caramelized basswood body capped with a flame maple top and 3-ply body binding. The sculpted heel provides comfortable upper fret access. Finished in an exquisite natural finish with gold hardware, the bolt-on maple neck is custom-shaped to Vivaldi's preferences with graphite reinforcement, a silky-smooth satin back finish, Luminlay side dots, and a heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel.
The tilt-back reverse 7-string licensed Fender Stratocaster headstock provides ideal string tension. Its 12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard has comfortable rolled edges, 24 jumbo frets, cascading black dot inlays and a Gotoh locking nut.
Unbelievably deep, full tones and rich harmonics come from an HH pickup configuration consisting of a DiMarzio Tone Zone bridge pickup and DiMarzio Air Norton neck pickup, both with gold covers. It also features a five-way blade pickup switch, dome-style volume and tone knobs, Gotoh GE1996T-7 double-locking tremolo bridge, Charvel-branded die-cast tuners, and more premium modern appointments.

"Poor Quality"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Both guitars I received from zZounds had obvious damage and quality issues. These are manufactured in a South Korean plant with poor quality and low attention to detail. Higher cost Fender brand guitars have an extremely bad reputation for low quality, and this Charvel is no different. I was excited to see this set of features made available in a factory guitar, but I won’t be giving Charvel another go after back to back damaged and poorly assembled guitars. I expected zZounds to thoroughly inspect the second guitar before shipping, as my first experience was so bad. What’s most disturbing is that organizationally, Fender does not care about resolving fundamental issues with manufacturing. Should have just bought an Ibanez from a top-tier dealer.
