    I got the 2005 Charvel San Dimas Lightning Sky from e-bay. I am enjoying it so far. I love how this guitar plays but it is lacking a little bit in tone for me. So, I decided to put a Bare Knuckle Holydiver in the bridge and BG-pickups Vintage 60's in the middle and neck position. I will update once I get the pickups in, and I will also get some pictures up soon.

          Sweet. Would have been ever so better if it was an H-S.

            The neck is thin with a flat spot all the way down. I like the feel of this neck a lot. The more I play it the more I like it, so far.

              Nice! Hope the new pickups work out. Here's my lightning sky (late '85 with '84 neck, originally had a rosewood board):

                    The lightning sky look has changed quite a bit since the 80's. I like them both.

                          I put the Holydiver in the bridge today. It really made this guitar scream. Through the Mark III it an almost Alice in Chains "Facelift" tone, but it sounds great for classic thrash also. it worked very well for "A Dangerous Meeting" and "Into the Coven". I love it!
