Plus you can play so many things on a tele shape without it looking weird, you can play everything from death metal to jazz to country to math rock, you can’t really play jazz or country on a Flying V without it looking like satire
It's the best amp in the world imo. There are other great ones (I personally dig the JVM and the MESA Mark IV), but nothing compares to how ferocious that EVH sounds.
i think we have to take in account that this guitars are designed to play together and complement each other, Christian is the lead tone in Gojira, and Joe has more of a rythm tone, but at the same time, Joe is the one that does the "solo" sections in some of their songs, you can appreciate that in backbone, THMOTU, l'enfant savage etc etc. IF this guitars where equally beefier, then the sound of Gojira wouln't be so unique. They also love to play the same riffs but with differents shapes on the power chords and thing like that so they give a lot of variation to their songs
@@crestfallen821 not directly, but Joe and Christian are long teammates and they build their sound together, when they desing his guitars, they do with the idea in the mind of complement and achieve the sound that they want. Sure maybe Christian would like a ghuitar with 2 pick-ups, but he knows that in Gojira he is not going to use it for example
@@helloyu6270 im not a musician and explaining this in English is difficult for me, but for example, in the heaviest matter of the universe, in the riff that starts around 1:51, one of the guitars play 2(6 string) X (5 string) and 4 (4 string), slide to 3X5 and the other guitar plays 2,4,4 slide to 3,5,5. but there are times when one guitar plays something and the other does so in a octave higher, things like that. you can clearly see this if you try to play some Gojira in guitar and see some online tabs
@Abs quatulate i actually mainly hook up to my computer and use amp sims. I can dial up some great tones, but amp sims just don’t sound quite as round and whole as the real thing.
The jackson for me all day. I love the charvel too but admittedly I'm a jackson fan boy through and through, just love the RR body and the simplicity of having one pickup
There’s something to be said about the clarity and articulation of a single bridge pickup. I think overall, the Jackson has a much better rhythm tone and the Charvel is more versatile for leads.
I had the Joe Duplantier model for about year but had to sell it recently. I really miss it. The pickups on that guitar really give it a lot of versatility. From Jazz to Metal it has you covered.
Both are great! In the last few years i have started to appreciate guitars more and more that are more "simpler", like the Alexi Laiho guitars. I mean i never use the neck pickup anyway and i like the idea of a guitar that is just ready to shred. No useless knobs
I just bought the Christian signature Jackson over this last weekend. Saw it and knew I had to have it. I’m really liking it so far. I’m hoping to get the Joe Charvel soon to complete the duo
I actually did a pretty similar test at the music store I work at. Thankfully we had both in stock and I was able to AB them, I ended up going with the Joe Duplantier signature, mostly due to it just being more versatile. The only thing I’ve done to the guitar in the 7 months since owning it was add a treble bleed, which I do for all my guitars. Part of my decision was also my fondness for telecasters, and his guitar, despite being geared for metal, also has a look that could let you blend in with the classic rock crowd.
Can you tell me what a treble bleed is? Sounds like something I need. (I'm never satisfied with the treble control on guitars and amps...) Thanks! Oh and congrats, that "Tele" looks wonderful!
@@asharpbflat7179 it’s just a capacitor that gets attached to your volume pot. So when you roll down your volume, it doesn’t get muddy and lose all the high end. I put one in most of my guitars with humbuckers. It also generally brightens most of them too
I just bought an LTD EC-256 that will get fitted with the same pickups that are in Joe's Charvel. I think it's going to sound the same. I played the Charvel but felt more comfortable on the LTD so I am making an "Joe Duplantier' version of the EC-256. Ola, love your channel and amazing skills!
The specs on the Andreu sig seem a little disappointing considering it retails for over $1000. That "high output humbucker" is the same pickup Jackson puts in their $300 JS series guitars.
Almost all guitars are over priced. It’s sucks we’ve reached a point where you need drop thousands of dollars to get anything made in this country. Much cheaper to have them made in an Indonesian factory and charge the customer way more than it’s worth. Solar included
@@user-vy8jn9mc6g I have an Indonesian made guitar also and it’s nice. I know they need to make money too, but outsourcing in the US is a problem. Not to get political
The Charvel has more body to the tone but the Jackson slight more glass in the tone I would go with just the looks and feel because the tone isn't much of an issue with either of them 🤘
Coming from someone who's been playing modern metal on Jacksons for most of his career, i have to go with the Jackson. I can practically FEEL how buttery smooth the neck is on the Jackson. I can legitimately play back to back shows on a Jackson and never get fatigued. Jackson for life.
Maybe Solar could do some 7 string with TOM bridge and stop bar. It’s fairly uncommon design but I feel like the added string height helps me dig and there is something about the whole string being exposed and free to vibe that I like.
REALLY wish Solar would build more single pick up metal guitars. Like V’s and stuff. I don’t think I’ve used a neck pick up in my entire 25 years of playing. Not once
I have one of his white Charvels and I love it so much (swapped the pups for Dinarzios, PAF 36th anniversary bridge & Evolution neck) I'm probably going to get the one in this video too.... I'm so in love with it!!
I have Joe’s first signature Charvel. I swapped out the Ducan bridge pickup for his signature fortitude pickup. By far my favorite guitar out of all the guitars I own. It plays its self and has so much to it for the price. It also helps that I play it through a EVH 5150 stealth 100 watt. Love the Videos Ola!! You are an inspiration for me and I love to hear and see your opinions. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Yeah I swapped out the pickups for a DiMarzio PAF 36th anniversary bridge & a DiMarzio Evolution neck pickup... I'm so in love with it too I got the white model and am probably going to also get the Charvel in this video.
Love the simplicity of the rr. Tom bridge, single bucker AND reverse headstock. If anything i'd love to see the bucker having coilsplit. I've never used neck pups and probably never will.
Everytime you say “yumbo” it reminds me of the adverts from years ago when the cleaning product changed from “Jif” to “Cif” to help our Northern European cousins pronounce it correctly. This comment is not relevant to the video, but relevant to the amount of caffeine I’ve had. Great video, love the chugging Ola. Tack kompis!
Yeah with an EVH, output is never a problem. Medium output Alnico humbuckers bring out the clarity and detailed midrange of the 5150III. A stupidly high output humbucker or an EMG will just crush all that gain into a fizzy nothingness.
Love the Charvel one, it's an elegant machine gun. "An elegant weapon for a more civilized age" as Obiwan would say
Agree
Definitely agree
Ironically he would also call it “so uncivilized” 😂
I would definitely go for the Charvel. I'd rather have a multi-purpose instrument than a very specialized one, even if it's working wonders.
I also choose Charvel
Flying V looks rad as shit though.
If the one trick pony sounded phenomenal id get that.
Completely disagree.

Are they really designed to complement each other? Jackson and Charvel sat together and worked together to create these models?
What do you mean by different shapes? Octaves, inversions, suspensions, or just same notes different strings (such as low E6 and A string 1st fret)?

Joe actually plays most of the leads
Loving that sleeper telecaster
What’s a sleeper?
@@Only1Guitar
Basically that it's a pure metal machine despite looking like a regular old tele.
The JD Charvel for me 😍 but can we talk about how crushing that amp is?! 🙌🏽
Agreed I really understand why they play evh amps in gojira. it's such a crushing sound
@Abs quatulate I still have one . It’s so tight for downtune riffs
That EVH 5150 with the EL34’s is my dream amp, such a beast!
@@Baalzz302 yes bro!! I want one too but my dream amp is the Marshall JVM 🙌🏽
@Abs quatulate i actually mainly hook up to my computer and use amp sims. I can dial up some great tones, but amp sims just don’t sound quite as round and whole as the real thing.
The jackson for me all day. I love the charvel too but admittedly I'm a jackson fan boy through and through, just love the RR body and the simplicity of having one pickup
When you asked which should I get -- I also said both. I have the Jackson, saving for the Charvel. Great video, thank you. Great playing. \m/
Holy shit man, those are both beautiful guitars! I'm leaning towards the Jackson though, sounds just a tad meatier
Been jizzing over that Jackson for a while now, glad someone finally did the vid. Thank you kind sir!
I picked up the Joe Duplantier Charvel today along with the 5150 iconic cabinet. And lets just say Joe's guitar + 5150 iconic= instant Gojira
Just brutal. I'm planning on 2 guitar builds this year and those are pretty much what I have templated up already!
SO glad I finally got to see them live this past Oct🤘
I'd go for the Charvel. I love the tele shape and I'm starting to grow fond of vintage voiced pickups
There’s something to be said about the clarity and articulation of a single bridge pickup. I think overall, the Jackson has a much better rhythm tone and the Charvel is more versatile for leads.
When hearing em back to back one can instantly hear how great they sound combined. The Jackson’s a 57 and the Charvel’s a ribbon mic. 👌🏼
f*** Yea Dude!! that was awesome. the intro was killer! sounded great!

Great demos. Gojira rhythm is so tight and heavy!
LOVE this demo ! tones are awesome !
One of the best sounding Ola vids I've seen. Dang.
Thanks for the review Ola! Been eyeing up that Jackson for a while. Just gotta convince the wife why I need another guitar.
This amp it's a beast! Sounds absolutely awesome
Ive recently bought a Jackson RR JS32T and i m loving it. Even the cheap ones worth the effort.
Reminds me of Matt Tuck's V with the reversed headstock. Badass looking guitar
Awesome video ola!
Man I love Gojira. Awesome video
Great work on the lighting! Matte black walls/light floor is classy too ;-)
I love that fact that they're both natural finish 😍
I just bought the Christian signature Jackson over this last weekend. Saw it and knew I had to have it. I’m really liking it so far.
I’m hoping to get the Joe Charvel soon to complete the duo
Awesome review.
With that Charvel, and a noise gate good measure, I think this is the most perfect metal rig for me that I could possibly imagine.
Damn that charvel is beautiful and it has a real nice low end punch 👊
Sounds so good :) more metal 🤘
Good review man!
I like the charvel in my opinion for my picking hand techniques.
I bought the Charvel and I find it's my go to guitar. I absolutely love how it looks.
AWESOME playing I like the jackson
The tone in this video is so sick.
I would definitely go for the Jackson 🤘🤘

Hey Ola...Just came over from the Sunday Premier to check out the Jackson Sit Model
That mahogany body on the joe: charvel is super figured. I loves it
Came for the guitars, stayed for the baest shirt 😂 love baest. They’re an awesome band

How haven’t you used a neck pick up and why? Not being a knob just curious
@@tomsmith184 Just never used them.
Got a wah for all my other tones.
I’m old school 80’s player. Less is more…. Maybe 😂
@@Dan_Ranger if you like what you get why not😂

It's pretty simple to add a coil split with a push pull pot on volume. Most jackson pickups have the wiring to do it (4 cables)
Can’t believe the poplar sounds so good on the Jackson. Wow
You don't hear the wood on an electric.

Ola obviously digging BAEST as much as me 👍🏻
I’d take both and Gojira are the best!! My fave band!!!
I could have everything! Included your talent to play Ola 😅
Definitely the tele a lower output pickup into high gain amp is always what I think sounds best plus it looks smexy as fuck
Yeah with an EVH, output is never a problem. Medium output Alnico humbuckers bring out the clarity and detailed midrange of the 5150III. A stupidly high output humbucker or an EMG will just crush all that gain into a fizzy nothingness.

Never listened to Gojira but the Jackson guy has really good taste un guitars god damn, that rhoads looks sweet *chef kiss*
I love the string noise actually.
I have a DiMarzio Fortitude in the bridge of a Les Paul. It's a great pickup. I find it to be really close to Pete Thorn's Thornbucker bridge pup.
The charvel! It is a workhorse and just deliver what you need.
🤘🤘
you total liked the t can see it in the playin and feelzzzzzzzzzzz. both look amazin though.
cooooool
I have the charvel and I love it, it is wonderful. I did replace the nut tho it was cheap plastic !
@ola Englund I'm not 100% sure but the reason for that mark on the 7'th fret may be because that's where the riff for Oroboros starts
