I get the impression that the Charvel staff forgot to make a real teaser and threw this together.

the Green SoCal could be cool though.

[ekalb09]

If that is a slime socal I'll be pissed too... I love candy green but it wasn't my number one.

[diablomozart]

Charvel will be entering the violin & viola market? Cool!

Prepare to be pissed... I'm almost certain that's what we're getting.

damn, I was waiting for the new colors to get a Socal, but I dont want slime green

I find it funny that throughout the entire pro mod series the SoCal seems to have gotten the biggest response when Charvel was mostly built on non pickguarded strat style guitars. Don't get the wrong vibe from me, So Cals are by far my favorite guitars out of the pro mods.

I agree with bombtek, I am TOTALLY into the San Dimas 1 style way more than the So Cal yet I own two So Cal's and one San Dimas 1 so far. The SD1, especially the single hum screams old Charvel more than any other model. I'm just waiting for the right color for me to grab #4.

[MakeAJazzNoiseHere]

Even the Sea Sick itself with cream and chrome would have sold much better. Same with the Trans Kandy Magenta IMO. Neither is a bad color- just not a good color with black hardware. Some people can't see past that.

A slime green SoCal would be cool, but a slime green single hum with maple board would be killer

Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands. It's hard to photograph and the pic came out a lot brighter than it actually is.. The yellow one is a Charvel pro mod.

[Code Red]

Yeh, well I'm glad everyone got a boner but..........

Batch this and batch that. It was all a fun novelty at first. The guitars are just the same damn thing over and over.

Same multi-piece alder body - big f'n deal
Same body shapes (woops Tele is gone!) - big f'n deal
Same body contour - big f'n deal
Same lower budget 'OFR' trem - big f'n deal
Same bridge style - big f'n deal
Same one piece maple neck (wooh 1 rosewood) - big f'n deal
Same single action truss rod - big f'n deal
Same headstock - big f'n deal
Same neck backshape - big f'n deal
Same nutwidth - big f'n deal
Same frets - big f'n deal
Same pickguards - big f'n deal
Same electronics - big f'n deal
Same pickups (pretty much)- big f'n deal
Same tuners - big f'n deal
Same no-binding - big f'n deal


I have maybe 6 or 7 of these now. I got most pretty cheap 'on closeout' but still it's getting a little freakin old. "Ohhhh this one is red, my pussy is all wet!"-Screw that

So much for the hotrod guitar company; Is "PLAINROD' a word? I knew this was going to happen when fender bought them. 50 models of the same damn guitar...cookie cutters and marketing hype....yeh!

Basically, if you're saying they're shit and you hate the company, why do you have 7?

No....YOU'RE saying that. All I heard was "i'm stoopid cause you don't like Charvel ohhhhhh'...Sorry, but seriously that what I think you just said?

Basically I AM SAYING it's the same old guitar over and over again with different paint. There's nothing new or special about any single one. Now that I think of it, even the custom stuff is plain and a little sad compared to everything else in the price range.

Where the bird's eye?
Where the different bridge?
Where's the Fender dual action trussrod?
Where's the sustainer?
Where's the Explorer bodyshape?
Where's the contoured heel?
Where's the lucite body?
WHERE IS ANYTHING DIFFERENT OR MODERN?

If you want to instigate me more....I'll say this - with exception of Pablo's work - even the Custom shop stuff is behind almost every other company except Squire. They might as well just scratch off the marketing plan of "cool hotrod cutting edge guitar guys" and change the slogan to 'pretty nicely made plain old guiters with an 80's paint job'. Gees enough is enough.

I can't buy another plain old outdated guitar no mater how much I like Charvel. By #8 batch....I'm getting sick of it.

[Jack Napalm]

Then stop buying them. Jesus H. Christ. Gee, my hand hurts when I put on the hot stove. Guess I'll keep doing it a few more times until it really hurts.
