I've wanted an old one for years, but it seemed impossible. The good ones that popped up were always snatched up by the collector types. Well, this one is going to get played... carefully lol.

You maybe surprised to know that many "collector" types play the sh1t out of the old ones and are not even as careful as you are over your new one.

Re: New Charvel. Check it out!

I didn't mean that as a put down at all. I will say though that it was frustrating because it seemed like the only way you were going to get ahold of those guitars is if you were "in the know". Hell, I don't blame the folks that buy up all the old Charvels/Jacksons. If you've got the scratch, why not? I don't doubt that alot of them are players either.

agreed! trace has the paint chips (in a bag, saved for posterity! ) to prove it! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

i can't see your pix, scuba steve, but did you order it with a blocked floyd, or is that how they're coming? very cool, imo!

Re: New Charvel. Check it out!

Damn onlinerock! Those pictures are less than 200k. It's solid black, one hum, Floyd, maple board pointy... The way god intended lol.

I didn't order it blocked. And when I opened the cavity, there was nothing in there blocking it. The trem block is very close to the route (about 1/32 of an inch), but there's no wood or metal holding it. The trem just doesn't pull back, and if it did, you could get maybe a half step out of it. I don't mind, I knew it would be a non recessed/flush mounted trem and was expecting it. This guitar seriously rocks and has great sustain. My band is playin at Harpos in Detroit opening for Overkill in April, and I'll definitely be playing it... can't wait! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Harpos....killer venue! Have someone take a lot of pictures.

Re: New Charvel. Check it out!

They're very funny about taking pictures there, but I'll definitely try.

Yes and no, the first 3 or so major dings were from playing, a couple from where I bumped into other guitars (I have them everywhere), another few from a piss poor lean up against the amp trick and a few more while taking pics...

but yeah most of mine have gotten dings cause they all get played. I especially pick up dings from the ones I rotate in and out of my office (keep 3 there at all times) from people grabbing them and attempting to play. But I am not complaining, it is cool that I am allowed to have guitars in my office (and an amp!!)...so no complaints from me regardless of how many times I get asked to play American Pie or Brown Eye Girl..lol!!!

I think that may actually have been Chuckracer's "Elvis" or one of his other guitars.
