I freaking love this picture...

That is a crude "Replica"... Not very well done..

Cool thread. Maybe I missed it, but what's the scoop on the leopard Charvel? IIRC, isn't it one of the others with the faux-fur added?

[dvscool]

This is all really cool shit man. Thanks for posting all of this. I don't know a lot about Gary, I think I'm going to check out more of his stuff.....

Bill, I believe the leopard spot was on the first batch of guitars Gary received from Charvel.He used it for a certain period of time, say late '84 to '85. I believe it is covered in faux fur and it isn't a graphic




Here is a cover from a DVD bootleg showing the white Strathead Charvel with replacement Jackson neck and Gary with his white Jackson Soloist:

Somebody has ordered a charvel which is similar as the white one.

Well, it's not like you can throw it in the wash after sweating all over it.

A European member posted pics of his Custom Shop white Gary Moore Charvel tribute. He plans to place an EMG81 in it. I have to call the obvious incorrect features:
R2 nut should be black anodized
The knurled stack pole volume knob is fine for the red version, but the correct one for the original would be a white Strat knob.
Not enough pick guard screws, needs eleven to match the original otherwise it is very tasty, also no trem cover on the original. Nice job though:

Very cool thread. I have an blue '86 s-head 3s white pick guard factory Floyd that could be the red one's cousin based on pic of what I assume is the original config. One of my favorite playing guitars actually.

A little OT

Hey emerald.. You probably know the answer t o this..

What is the correct color "white" for the other fender Strat Gary played during the 80's ( besides his normal fiesta red one)
Hard to tell from the few pictures I've seen.. Could be Olympic ..could be Cream?

[BLOOD SPLATTER]

That was an off the rack cream white (vintage white) 1962 Reissue....Gary bought that guitar when his "fiesta red" strat was breifly "lost" by an airline!!

[xenophobe]

Love his one hum matching headstock Charvel with the pickguard. If it had ebony, I think I'd die....
