Metal assault Sunday


Sunday morning metal assault ✊

Had some playing time in the morning (& nobody's home) so it's as metal as it gets. Had been re-listening to the early Emperor, Marduk & Satyricon stuff so the urge to generate some metal music was strong. The Charvel there is one of my favourite in terms of neck feel. The finish has everything to do with it, it's almost bare wood. The last time I came across such a very thin finish was playing a Yamaha Mike Stern model. The EMGs in there were as metal as it gets- no compromise! Moving on to the second half of the playing time, it's the Kiesel this time. The immediate difference is the fretboard radius. The very flat profile here should be essential for those of you churning out very fast metal riffs.  It's minimum stretching of the fingers so less lethargy in the way. Sunday morning had been good.
