"So, this Blackstar gets a pretty mean tone, and I've been recording a lot with this. What I really like about it is how it goes from that nice heavy tone to a nice clean tone with the push of a button." - Aaron Abeyta at :30s in this video.
El Hefe picked up this guitar, according to Charvel's official blog.
"Although now i am using a EVH 3 head. Now the reason for that is because the Mark 3 is old(it's vintage) and things break down." He says at 2:05 in the video.
