With all the fake shredder drama out there right now, it's so fucking cool and refreshing to hear Angel play these leads with no edits, minimal backing(you can barely hear the backing track!) and just raw dogging it. Nice open tone, great feel in the playing, and it's all real.

Angel is the man! Always loved his playing.

I love his new album Songs in the Key of Zod.

I love Dimarzio pickups. I was looking for Air Norton neck demos at the same time i discovered a great guitar player. Thanks Dimarzio!

That tapping was cool! I love the 6-string versions in my Ibanez, and he makes everything sound great with these.

I feel like the thumbnail sold me a bill of goods.

Angel Vivaldi will forever have a special place in my heart...His playing is so full of feels that you just can`t hate him.

The air norton is one of my favorite neck pickups ever. So versatile.

Outstanding vid, Angel! Love the lover correlation- an artist and its muse- making beautiful music together. ♥️

Definitely picking up this guitar when I can. Pickups sound great and Angel kills it. Keep it up guys!

Man talks about guitars the way Gordon Ramsay talks about food

I've been using the Tone Zone since '91 when I popped one into a Charvel Holdsworth to perk up my tone for an upcoming gig and never looked back. I use the Tone Zone/Air Norton combo in many guitars. I love what it does for all of them, including my main ax, a Basswood Schecter that cost about $200 and sounds like a million bucks. I've always preferred low mids for guitar and DiMarzio know how to make pickups that check these tone requirements for me. Consider also that most guitars out there are some variety of bolt-on, strat scale. What you want is balance, and the Tone Zone is great at filling the tone spectrum. I think it's one of the most versatile and organic pickups ever made. It feels wonderful to play.

If I had a signature guitar that is exactly what I would build. Love the sound and the newest Black color.

I love the combo. And I began using Tone Zones as soon as they hit the market in '91. I bought my first Tone Zone at a Guitar Center in Hollywood about that time, popped it into my red Holdsworth Charvel, replacing a Duncan Distortion, and I was ready to rock. Great, great pickup, perfect for strat scale. I have a Tone Zone/Air Norton combo in one of my basswood Schecters right now and it just sounds wonderful.

I can say that I'm pretty happy with my Gravity Storm in the neck, for now at least.

That's a great combo. I also recommend the Steve's Special bridge with Air Norton neck. Perfectly balanced, great clarity and harmonics. Petrucci used the Steve's Special for years in his Ibanez sig. Highly recommended.

I wonder why Charvel haven't ditched the string trees on their Pro-Mod stuff, like they did on Angel's (and Guthrie's) signature. IMHO a significant oversight on otherwise brilliantly designed guitars. The TZ/AN combo is just a classic and in this setting it just works.

Vivaldi's sig guitar has a tilted headstock, the other charvel guitars do not. That's why it doesn't need string trees.

@KamilKisiel

4 жыл бұрын

To get rid of string trees you need to have staggered height tuners or a tilt-back headstock. I'm guessing the added cost (mostly in labour / installation) of staggered height tuners would have brought the cost of the guitar beyond what they wanted to charge for it.

This guitar looks expensive!

@Angel Vivaldi i prefer your 7 string playing over Steve Vai's. Nothing against Vai, it's just when he plays 7, he's very often going to abuse the extra bass string, and then it's going to stick out like a sore thumb, like when literally everyone else plays 7. But you blend the extra string into the guitar, which most people are not smart enough to do on a 7. You also don't abuse the low tones, and that is extremely impressive. I have my own way of doing that as well, but for the time being, that's my little secret. But I keep telling people that it's 7 string guitars that are the future, not just 6s, and you, more then anyone else who's big right now, is living proof of that. Great job my friend.

In a live show with high volumen you don't need all that fizz and high frecuencies that the other pickups offers, for the public that is only a harsh noise, I think this is really good pickup in a real live situation, I used a lot of pickups live and this set is very pleasant in the highs is like tape, and if you have some muddy frecuencies you can use a Eq to filtering depending other wood on your guitar (I don't recommend this in mahogany).
