Re: Real or not??That is the question

added floyd or maybe just an added string tree?Overall the vibe looks good, more and better pics especially of the back are a must though.

Nothing strikes me as wring though...maybe added floyd.

Re: Real or not??That is the question

I say added Floyd.
The behind the nut string retainer bar is not straight.
I'd love th have this, but blew all my expendable income a few hours ago on another guitar.
If I didn't have to eat, I could have more guitars

I thought the body looks like a Kramer. Take a look at the top horn. No picture of the neck plate?

Re: Real or not??That is the question

just emailed the buyer asking for good pixs of the back and neck plate.....

Re: Real or not??That is the question

curious...if it's real, it's way cool...hell it's a cool neck anyway...the input jack on front seems a little strange...d.m.

I think the body looks good and has a nice even strat shape, if it was a Kramer the dip between the horn and back would be deeper. Just my opinion.

"what´s wrong with the top horn?" [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]
was my first though as well
seems not wide enough (too narrow at the tip)to me
just an opinion

Re: Real or not??That is the question

Again it looks okay to me other than the possiblilty of the added Floyd, also weird string tree. Better detailed pics are a must but the shape, wear, pickguard etc all look legit to my eye (alebit the pics are not high resolution).

I just heard from a fellow eBayer that someone emailed him and I presume the otehr current bidders to warn them that it looked fishy. You know the deal, you get an email saying its crap stay away then the same dude snipes/backdoors it for a song.

I emailed the seller and asked for more pics which I can post and add more comments when I get them. Looks good so far, beat but cool looking Charvel..good luck. Bid early to deter backdooring..that was the lesson I learned on that pointy Zebra Charvel that got backdoored recently.

Re: Real or not??That is the question

The seller sent me some additional pics, the floyd is aftermarket. the guitar is well played (kinda beat) but looks okay to me.

I think its legit and will make someone happy!!!

Re: Real or not??That is the question

judging by the pics on ebay...was the guitar originally white?...still...i agree...mojo aplenty with that neck...hopefully nobody will feel the need to have the logo re-done as it's much cooler the way it is...d.m.

Re: Real or not??That is the question

I'm glad to hear that the guy responded to your email. I haven't heard back from him on mine sent 2 days ago.

Re: Real or not??That is the question

kev...you always get the weird stuff [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ...i know they could do it, but it was not a normal thing...aside from yours i've seen maybe 3 or 4 others with the input jack on the front...most ive seen had it on the side [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ...d.m.
