  • NGD - '05 Charvel 5A Masterbuilt Prepro Specs

    Just unpacked this beaut when I got home today and wow do I love 'er. She's an '05 built to prepro specs by Mike Shannon for a vendor (hence no serialized plate). It's got a 5A flame maple bound flattop (my cellphone pics sort of show that), Northern ash back, a lightly figured maple neck, and what appears to be a Dimarzio Super D. This makes #10 in Charvel stable. Thanks to Hellraiser for hooking me up.

    Here are some money shots.

    Wow! Just wow! I am speechless. That is one hell of a book matched top and that thing is gorgeous bro! Congrats and HNGD!
    This is what I think of Gibson since 1993. I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED! I rock out to Baby metal because Wilkinsi said I can't listen to Rick Astley anymore.

            Me too which is why I pretty much jumped on this one when it was offered. To me it this guitar has sort of a Western vibe to it. I may stick my Duncan '78 in it.

                Yes, the price is very reasonable and the transaction was smooth as glass.

                  Any left handed models?

                        It's funny I was just going to post about that but I don't want guitars with just 21 frets. I can go from 22 to 24 frets then back to 22 but 21 really messes me up. It does have a 1 5/8 nut and I think (haven't measured yet) a 2 3/16" heel. The aluminum backplates are also not true prepro spec either but I like them nonetheless.

                            Yeah, that looks great!!
                            Popular is not the same as good
                            Rare is not the same as valuable
                            Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get
