Re: The new Charvels both rock AND suck

Here is a pic from another NAMM star.



How would the ground wire thing happen?

I was also told the wires sticking out of the post was from the pickup ground. WTF! Any one ever heard of this before? I never have heard or seen such a thing.

Huh...I'd like to see more pics of the wiring on that guitar...is there a ground wire headed from the cavity to the stud?

There's nothing wrong with the star's ground wire that I can see. The additioal hole is a route-through...happens often when routing deep trem cavities on humbucker equipped guitars. Not generally on high-end guitars, mind. [img]/images/graemlins/brow.gif[/img]

Regarding a field trip: I'll get with Kevin and the other Admins. Maybe we can set something up.

Re: The new Charvels both rock AND suck

I would assume that someone is getting mixed up with tunamatic / stop tail piece instruments: In that case, the ground wire is often fed from the control cavity to the bridge studs to earth the strings - On a floyd / vintage trem, it's just much easier to solder it to the trem claw as on Tracy's guitar pictured above.....

Re: The new Charvels rock....

Re: The new Charvels rock....

I've played 3 new pointies myself... I will agree they dont have that broken in felling that a 25 yr old guitar does...
but I was pleasantly surprised and would have no problem spending on a few suiting my needs....
come to think of it... I am thinking c/s tele !!!!

but dogs do exist even in the dimas era...
