I like it, the matching painted matching head is a nice feature

Matching painted and reverse headstock and an OFR...one of the better new ones I personally have seen.

Looks good to these eyes - I'd prefer black hardware on that guitar though, but I don't really go for chrome anyway...

One of the best since the return of Charvel.
I want to see more of these.

A cool one, for sure. It'd be even cooler with a neck PU, though.

Well, you cant get much more 80s then that. I agree on the matching headstock. Very cool.

I agree DJM but it is a custom shop and you have to pay out the a** for those nice but not "custom" features in my book.

How about a Charvel 'select' series, matching headstocks , one hum etc......

Re: This just showed up on DCGL\'s site...

Yea, I know.
That probably is the reason I wouldn't buy any of new Charvel.
Too pricey for what they are for me. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
1hum, Floyd, Reversed head with matching head, it should be cheap though.

I like those but IMHO are over priced on the high side.

I pinged Jason for a price of the 2004 NAMM guitar thats been there for a year...wonder why...hmm. Although his price was well below the list on it, still too high. I'd rather buy up all the used GMW's than pay that kind of coin for a new Charvel that has been sitting and not selling for a year.

Re: This just showed up on DCGL\'s site...

True, the price is on the high side but it is a custom order and a NAMM guitar. If you wnate dtaht exact guitr it be a great price versus custom ordering it through a dealer. Jason gave me a great deal on my HRF (and the other Shawn on his white Telly) - one of the BEST dealers I ever have dealt with.

With respect to GMW...true used GMW's bring what $1100ish but that is a GMW not a new NAMM Charvel...it comes down to what you prefer, want and bottom line - afford.

To address why the guitar has not sold despite being there for over a year. Several reasons come to mind, I think a lot of folks were waiting to see if:
1. are the 3D neck plates coming (yes they are here now)
2. wondering if a Strat head Floyd run will be released/appear (no mention at winter NAMM)
3. know that they can still buy an original Charvel (pointy) for the same or lower price, so its a toss up
4. market is soft for everything these days. Bad time to sell, great time to buy!!

I never played any of the new Charvel Strat heads but the pointies (like my BI Reissue and HRF) are very, very close in feel (neck shape) to an original. I love them and I am close to plaicng a custom order.
