I don't think I have very fat fingers so I can't relate too much to that part, but for me they're both great. I'm loving the Strandberg a lot, and that could be recency bias, but it does play really easily and is very comfortable on the body and left hand. I've had mine for about a month, and I know now which guitar to pick up depending on what I'm playing. The Strandberg definitely suits rounder sounds and I would pick it up for heavy distortion tones or smooth jazzy cleans. The Charvel I really like for its split coils, it has much more personality in pickup positions 2 and 4 than the Strandberg does. I think the Charvel overall has more expressive and dynamic pickups right now, but those are just the pickups. I'm using the stock pickups in both guitars, so that could be easily changeable if you wanted. The Strandberg is super light, mine is just about 5lbs, and that took some getting used to (and made the Charvel feel bigger and heavier at first), but now that I've had it for some time I really value how lightweight and "small" it feels without feeling lacking. Long story short, I love both, I'm glad I have both. If it's within your means to keep your charvel and save up for an Essential I think you'd like the balance they give each other too. Hope this helps.

@@chicken6111 Thank you for such a detailed reply! You seem to like the same type of music that I do, and we play a lot of the same stuff - so I very much value your input. 👍🏻 I love my Charvel! It’s the best guitar I’ve ever owned, and I want to keep it! But the weight, specs and ergonomics of the Strandberg is so tempting…😅 I have a lot of tendinitis, and I do a lot of legato and tapping; so I’m trying to find the best way to play with the least amount of strain on the left arm. The Strandbergs seem perfect in many ways…but playing Chon / Polyphia chords when you have thick fingers is hard if there is not enough string space…🫠

@@Indiegaze If ergonomics is something that's important to you then definitely grab one man! Strandberg is for sure the best at it in terms of guitars that are commercially available. I love my charvel too, i'd get another even. But by the sounds of it a strandberg is something you gotta grab some day! Best of luck to you, and let me know!

No I actually have gear now! Fender blues amp, abasi pathos and horizon clarity compressor pedals

Thanks man! I'm playing this is drop C, but i think they are playing in D standard.

Thanks so much man, you rock 🙏

Thanks! Learned by ear, I'm playing this in E standard.

@@chicken6111Noice!

I did a quick lesson on Open :)

@@chicken6111 sorry I was talking about the solos I forgot to put that in the comments 😅

Thank you my friend. I say this all the time but I want to post more! Glad you find these useful.
