ID'ing a Dimarzio body

[SeventhSon]

How do I tell a Charvel made vs. import Dimarzio body? The neck pocket is definitely 2 1/8". Here are pics...

that one is hard usually the charvel ones had a longer contour on the back extending past the trem route & the forearm contour extends past center, yours doesnt, but most of the imports were not 2 peice center joined. hopefully Kev 83SD will take a look hes really good with these things.

Not a San Dimas

Dimarzios get confusing, I have seen late issue ones like the one Mushcup built up that are not San Dimas but very close with the exception of the bevel. I want to get one so I can ID it better. I have seen Charvels with short bevels but they are rare and usually in the later years. If you have a picture of the back of the body vertical it would help

I would need to see the horns better to be sure, It is center joined and is that an 8 hole pickguard?

Still, the short sharp bevel....

Yep, 8 hole pickguard. And here are vertical shots of the horns...

hmmm

was this the Charvel Parts Guitar Tim Rose was selling a few years back? Are you under the impression this is a Charvel parts guitar or are you only curious about the body?

Per my email, I've never bought a guitar from Tim Rose...only have heard of his name. This is a parts guitar I picked up off of eBay a while back.

edit: refresh your browser window as I have resized these pictures to be smaller.

Yep, almost! Except for the maple board and the fender input jack (minor or major details depending on how you look at it! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]). I'm pretty close to finishing her up. I got vintage + NOS brass parts from all over the effin place. Gotta get rid of that Duncan LiveWire neck pickup though...can't picture myself taking the strings + pickguard off to change the batteries...EVER!

Re: ID\'ing a Dimarzio body

I am pretty sure this is a later Dimarzio because of the comfort bevel. In person I could tell. I would need to see a real sqaure shot (straight on) of the back, no angle to it to check the lines. The slight angle throws it off a bit but based on what I see it is later than an SD

Great guitar, I would not turn it away.
