  • I finally feel worthy of being here... NGD

    I just purchased this beauty last week and today got it back from my guitar tech. Its all set up and ready to rock. My 1st USA Charvel and Im so stoked to add it to my collection. 2009 4th Batch San Dimas Style 1 polar White (over the years its sorta turned a little off white) but still look amazing to me. The previous owner also upgraded the Floyd with a 37mm FU-TONE Brass sustain block and a Brass tremolo stop. He also replaced the original pick up selector switch with an all metal Gibson one. (He says its a Gibson switch. Im not sure if it is or not but its nice) The neck on this guitar is just incredible. It has a few dings on the body but for the price I got it for Im not complaining. Overall its in really nice condition. The frets and fretboard look almost in new condition. I have learned a lot about Charvel guitars from this site over the last couple weeks since joining and Im am grateful for that too. You guys rock. Anyway here she is:









    This last pic I just threw in for shits and giggles. We pass through the city of San Dimas on the way to my moms house and when I saw the exit sign I just had to snap a pic.

      Congrats! You are correct in describing Polar White as an off-white. I own a 2009 USA So-Cal in the same color. With a name like "Polar White", one can imagine whoever named that paint to have described it as snow tainted with a small amount of polar bear urine.

            Congrats. That has always been one of my favorites from the USA pro mod runs.
