Charvel reverse strathead? Let me see 'em!

[fullmetalguitar]

Yeah, yeah, I tried the search function already and couldn't find any pics. I wanna see pics of any Charvel reverse stratheads. They seem fairly rare.

How about this one?

Wow, I never would have thought a V would look good with a reverse strathead, but that looks very cool. Is it a real Charvel?

[Devotee]

I just realised that reverse stratheads look more like a smurfhat than the SLS headstock.

Graphics are badass but the reversed strat head w/ the V? Nope. Not doin' it for me. Now, a reverse strat head on a Strat shape or a Star? Yeah, that's badass.

That V was AWESOME!!!!

Don't have too many good pics but here are a couple....

Cool. Is that yellow one of the recent "relics" they put out?

Yes it is. Fantastic guitar. The neck is to die for. I need another reverse strat head with the same neck!

How about this one?

Is that the nut that came on the guitar? It looks narrow for the neck?

Since you asked....Lets get PERSONAL, shall we?

Yes totally original, legit Charvel Employee Project. Built 1983 by/for employee Eric von Theumer (Front & Center, 4th from left on the back of the '84 CJ catalog) of local Glendora , California band 'Blitzkrieg'. The nut is the original and the extra wide neck is from the same batch as Warren DeMartini's original Charvels...Eric liked Warrens idea so much he wanted one for himself!



Here's Eric live with Blitzkrieg in '85 with another of his project guitars RR0150.


And finally some AUDIO of the Charvel V in action. From Blitzkrieg's '85 release Ready For Action

Very cool history on that one.

At the time, I was really hoping some of the lefties out there wanted to trade their USA Pro Mod necks for righty necks

Sweet V, man
