Two Charvel parts monsters completed

[bsteff666]

I just completed my latest Charvel parts projects & I'm very pleased with the results.

First is a trans blue strathead. The neck came from DJROBA on the JCF....its a nice fat & full profiled 1 & 3/4ths...very comfortable. The body is a NOS Dimarzio (Charvel built)body factory finished in transparent blue over ash. Trem is a Stars guitar high mass. Pickup is a double creme Duncan JB.





Next is the Ojeda Bullseye that I bought from Monte. I rebuilt it to my liking using some parts that I had.

The body is an original 82 San Dimas that was refinished by Big Head Guitars. I scored the neck on ebay a while back....it has a thinner profile to it & some nice birdseye. Pickups are Seymour Duncan.....an EVH in the bridge & an Alnico Pro II in the neck (matches up nicely with the EVH). The bridge is a Double Eagle....I do plan to replace it with a more appropriate one eventually.

The bullseye looks great, but you have to do something with that trans blue finish! Please get her refinished please [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Where did you find a double cream JB?

Re: Two Charvel parts monsters completed

They both look really nice.

In general, do the parts guitars go together well, or is some finessing necessary with a knowledge of which parts work well together? I guess I'm asking how uniform the parts are.

Re: Two Charvel parts monsters completed

You can still special order double creme Duncans in just about any model.....Duncan has to ship them with a cover on them though....usually they don't even solder the cover on when you order them this way.

As for parts guitars & how they fit together....inevitably yes there is a little "finessing" needed, but if you're using the right parts.....Charvel bodies & Charvel necks.... the fit is pretty good.....& like wise with parts that are made to the correct specifications.
