  • On the way to me...

    So I picked up a US Production San Dimas on ebay, looks new as per seller is pretty much new. It's the wildcard fiesta red with a (1) Humbucker, chrome hardware, and rosewood board. Should be here on Tues or Wed! I picked up a one of the new SKB Charvel logo molded case from a guy on CL so I am set. fingers crossed it all works out!!! I plan to put a Duncan SH6 zebra or a Dimarzio SD in the bridge. Only down side is what to do with my Ferrari red Model 2? I should just keep both!

                Just got here, yes it more salmon than red. Neck feels great. Need to adjust the neck relief, too much for me. So now need to decide on a zebra Duncan sh6 or double cream dimarzios distortion.

                  Looks sweet. Surely that plastic over the hum pup is blocking tone/mojo.

                      ^ Holes aren't big enough for the larger diameter screw.

                          we have a winner, yep thats what I was thinking, so much for my first US made charvel. You would think they would have drilled the correc sized hole to begin with. I will contact the seller in the morning for return ; (

                            You're going to return it for that? Is this number 4? For the sake of all the sellers losing money on shipping (and yourself if you're not getting reimbursed for your returns) you should stick with buying after you see a guitar in person.

                              I bet the seller never even noticed it.

                              I think I could live with that.
                              It doesn't affect the playability/sound and it's kind of hard to see.

                              But I understand.

                              I was actually watching that guitar but had just bought a Wild Card #7.

                              I'm watching another Fiesta Red right now hoping it doesn't get too high.
