the new bullseye retro ltd rocks so much. it has the mojo of the older ones except the stupid sticker on the back of the headstock that is a FMIC disclaimer on the rights to the strathead. but other than that, its impressive!

I was not & still am not very impressed,nice guitars,no doubt,but no comparison to an early 80's strathead Charvel!!

That's just the sort of thing that hurts sales, Mister, and I for one as a Devotee of FMIC won't stand...errr, sit...er.. whatever...for it [img]/images/graemlins/nono.gif[/img]
Don't waste your money on those "Retro" money-grab editions - get a USA Standard model. I played one of the USA Standard Stars at Summer NAMM and shortly thereafter got an 83 SD Pointyhead Star. Same neck, same feel, same everything. Plus the Standards are priced a bit more realistically than those Wretch-hoe editions [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
Chuck, I personally feel your opinion is valid. You are exposed to way more old and new Charvels on a regular basis than most of us will ever see in our lifetimes.
LMFAO!! Go back & read the first line of his post:
"I am interested in these newest stratheads"
Kev,you are absolutely right,I am very impressed with the 2002 Bullseye Reissues but they are not a "strathead" which is what he asked about,if the new pointy Charvels have the same neck profile as the 2002 Bullseyes I am sure they're very nice but again,not a "strathead"!! My opinion is based on the new strathead neck profile which I don't think compares to the "mojo laden" early 80's stratheads at all!!& as "Eddie" so eloquently pointed out, I Splatter am a "Charvey snob"!!LOL!!& thanx Jim,much appreciated bro,Chuck"Charvey-Snob"Splatter
