  • The Charvel Faerie Visited Today, unannounced!!!!

    <font color="yellow">OK....it seems, my brothers and sisters of the mysteries of the strings, that my beloved wife, a certain Boobarella and one Mr Splatterpuss have been conspiring behind my back on this aforementioned Charvel.

    Mr Splatter has had this for a while in ICU (Intensive Charvel Unit) at his Home for Wayward Charvies.

    I have known about it for a while, fell in love with it for a few reasons, and tried to get it but, didn't know if I would or not.

    Now...this isn't a pristine, cosmetically perfect guitar...but, to me, it's gorgeous and perfect for me!!

    Here are the features:
    dual hum (Duncan Custom bridge and 59N neck)
    Kahler Pro in Gold
    Plate #3062 (84')
    V-V-T and 3-way blade switch
    22 fret EBONY boarded pointy with dots
    Really cool purple colored body..dare I say...Grimace the 1st!!

    My beloved wife calls me today at work and says "honey, you have a box here", and hangs up!! Oh, the beast!!

    Here is said box:


    Well, me being the curious type, I look to see who it is from...thinking Splatterpuss...but, ya never know around here. I read the label...oh, the intrigue:


    The plot thickens...so, I notice the tape job on said box...which can mean only 1 person alive:


    I finally get the blow-torch back in our shed, give my dogs Valium from trying to help me open the box...and finally get out the case...and find....the Shroud of Charvel!!


    I finally get it un-mummified and find this lurking beneath the layers:


    Very cool eh??





    I am sooooooooooo stoked right now....the neck is fucking killer and the ebony board is very sweet. The sound is thick, crunchy but articulate, and it seems to have a lot of natural sustain.

    Chuck..brother...I don't have the words...thank you is so meaningless the way I feel right now. I have a new child!!

                  <font color="yellow">OK...story on the Kahler is this.

                  It was originally a Kahlered Charvie...then, somebody got a hair-brained idea to mode it to Floyd with a hack job (shudders), and Chcuck put it back to its original Kahler version after having some work done to it.

                  I didn't snap any pics of the back of it yet.....standard non-recessed plate and regular SD control route.

                  It's basically the same operation that was done to Red #5174 [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

                  Chuck did the best he could with the touch-up on the body, but it's incredibly difficult to perfectly color-match after something like this.

                  I don't care...I'm a player..not a collector...so, to me, it's only cosmetic but the guitar plays and sounds awesome!! </font>

                    Chucks restorations are always top notch.
                    Who give's a f*ck if the color doesn't match?
                    Not I, as long as it plays well and it sounds good,
                    and the area around the kahler is solid,
                    which we know it is if Chuck did it, I then say SCORE!!!!!
                    If this is our perdition, will you walk with me?
