NGD!!!!.....Charvel

[Guitar_Symphony]

Happy to have a Production USA Charvel finally..I've had plenty of Charvel USA San Dimas guitars from 81-86...but this is my first NEW USA CHARVEL....And it's my favorite one they released (polar white) She is a killer player, I was very surprised at the playability..And I was happy to find one N.O.S...in mint condition, Also i have a German floyd on the way for her as well. Thanks Wayne for the hookup on the early Blue lined San Dimas Case.

I cannot wait to dirty this neck up!!!

If I'm not wrong...they are... JB in the Bridge and a 59' in the neck....
I love it...It gets those perfect Dokken tones.

Nice grab...I would would have gone with the white as well.

I bought the exact same model in December. She is a killer. The zebra pups with the rings are a fantastic combo. The neck is probably the best I've ever played by far....

Congrats mate, play in good health

Congrats man she looks like a keeper

Dig it. Needs some double cream Dimarzios in that, though!

Is that just a tone preference bro?...I'm on the other side of the fence...I really just like the duncans better than the dimarzios...in most guitars. Matter of fact, I got a couple stock dimarzios in my SoCal that I'm thinking about switching out for Duncans...not sure yet

Symph...So is this thing a "pro-mod"...or did you have to special order it? I'm liking it alot

Tone preference mostly. When I first tried a Dimarzio Super Distortion in a Charvel - bam! that was it - that was the tone right there. Nothing against Duncans at all - I have and use them as well except for the JB which I do not dig. I think the Super Distortion, Tone Zone and Dimarzio PAF are three of the best sounding pickups I've ever played. The Duncan Custom is up there as well and I have one in my Fiesta Red San Dimas.

Yep - its one of the limited color options from one of the USA batches. These sold like hot cakes and I don't think I've ever seen one of the white USA San Dimas bodies parted out yet. They did a white SD2, Socal and SD1 in different batches. The white SoCal sold very well also.

It's a Pro Mod, it's the only one they did something interesting with (chrome, creme rings, zebra pickups) and it was a great seller.

They should have used those pickups/hardware on a couple of other guitars, the black hardware just doesn't work on everything.

There were a couple of colors that were just begging for chrome and cream...

Seasick Green - for instance - should have been rosewood, chrome and double creams.

SweeT!

That's a winner.

I would say the Slime Green would have been very cool with the same setup. Actually black, too.

The green works with black, zebra or cream, I think.
