After I read this, I had a strange thought...what is the rule on a dealer pimpin' their stuff in the classifieds? Just curious, because I know that the dealers already have their own section. I could see Matt (hypothetically of course) sell one of his own personal axes in the classifieds, even though he is a dealer.

I know I'll step away from the bong now and try not to think anymore [img]/images/graemlins/sick.gif[/img]

Re: Custom order Charvel

Interesting thing about the pricelist, on the option list under headstock it says "Charvel Pointy or San Dimas". The San Dimas would be a strathead would it not? Its odd that they have it on their price list/option list when they don't offer it?

It would not. That's referring to the strat-ish old PC1-style headstock shape.

Re: Custom order Charvel

The only San Dimas option I saw on the quote form was for neck profile. I am waiting untill Namm to see if they anouce the strathead option in the custom shop I have a feeling they will.

Re: Custom order Charvel

If they do start offering "strat head" option through custom shop. WQith out a doubt, there will be a surge of sales for sure.

Re: Custom order Charvel

I have a feeling they will as well but they will need to hire some more builders cause as Soap said, there will be ALOT of players wanting a new custom strathead.

I was quite suprised going through the quote form that by and large Charvels are cheaper than a bolt on Jackson. The upcharges vary slightly than Jackson tending towards the higher side but if you chose your options carefully Charvels are actually cheaper. Not knowing the charvel custom process was different I had already specced out a quote for a Charvel in the future, taking the same guitar and removing the one single coil pickup (one humbucker being the standard with no upcharge) the price was several hundred cheaper than the same guitar using a Jackson quote form.

I dont think they will be hiring anytime soon it would be against what Jackson is about. Also more employees would just slow them down as they would just be getting in the way and they just moved to a bigger building. Jackson is pround of the fact that many of their employees are the original ones from San Dimas. They definatley wont start farming out the work like BC Rich did or Dean and have an outside company like Wilkinson guitars make them that would also be against Jackson/Charvel business ethic.

Re: Custom order Charvel

Well they definitely won't outsource or hire mexican slave workers ala BC Rich, that much I agree on. However at some point you have to meet demand, if the sales of Charvels jump drastically due to the allowing of stratheads then I would not be suprised if they hire some more experienced luthiers. Moving to the bigger room would theoretically give them more room to expand if necessary. Also keep in mind that Charvel is only a portion of the custom shop, its Jackson as well so though you might be right about them not wanting to hire new employees, I can definitely see it happening if wait times get crazy due to a influx of strathead orders.

Re: Custom order Charvel

Wait times are crazy.
Never going to happen with them hiring more luthiers I will put money on that. They can double in size if they wanted to right now with the crazy demand.
