6th Batch Custom Colors

[Bionic]

Speaking of artists playing Charvels - when are you going to get these into the hands of some more guys? Why are John 5 and Jim Root playing Fenders?

Also... a metallic burgundy (Kandy Burgy) Socal would be so choice...

Good question... in the case of the guys you mentioned, it's simple... they are Fender fans. Which is what you want from an artist...they play what they truly love.

There is more Artist news to come this year... Nothing I can say at the moment as it would be improper...

We did that half white/black San Dimas for Jon Levin from Dokken. It's killer looking.

It would be interesting to see a Wildcard that was painted half black and half white like a Michael Schenker V.

Bionic- I'm still waiting on that star body.

I hope when I get a job I can still find either of the white ones that have come out. Or both.

Wonder if its going to hurt the Adrian Smith sales?

maybe they are just going to offer 2 colors each time instead of one and not put out another guitar.

Whoa nailed that one!!!!!! From the what will replace the tele thread hahahahaha.
I like the white so cal too.

newc is gassing again.

They should change the base color to white. It's a hot seller!

I'd like to address this, even thought it breaks my rules when it comes to these types of posts.

The Trans Kandy Magenta "Wildcard" has two features that were not offered on the past "batches". It has a trans finish and a 2 piece body (which makes it lighter and more toneful).

We originally went with Chrome hardware on this color, but the black looked better. It was more important to make the guitar right to itself, than to worry about it being different for differences sake.

As I said in other posts, you will see many other options creep in to the "Wildcard".

I was surprised to see a trans finish offered since these are 3 piece bodies. But I'm glad to hear Charvel coughed up the extra few dollars on thier part to actually use 2 piece center seamed bodies for the trans finsh.
I have to say they that I really like the like cleam simple look of the white SoCal. I bet that one sells out quick. I got an email from a major Charvel vendor that said he couldn't get one for me and he tried. couldn't get any of the white SoCals because they are all gone.

I'm liking the sea sick green a lot. Can't wait to see some better pictures of it

[Hellbat]

I like them all. The white one the best. The trans finish doesn't really come across well in youtube vids I'm sure. Any chance of a higher res body pic of one?

None of them are doing it for me this round.
The Seasick Green was so close, but, not quite what I would have wanted.
It's a neither nor color. Not quite Robins egg Blue, not quite Seafoam Green. It's Almost like that Sage Green that they used to use on MIM strats.

The wildcard is a bit disappointing for what would be a #1 of the new series. I would have expected #1 to be an all out attempt to show what is meant by the 3rd option.
Tell mgt to forget the concept of "feature creep" and either commit to the concept or only do 2 Custom Colors per run.

This one feels only half pregnant.

At least the black guitars are still available for those who feel this was a letdown batch.
