Re: strathead sold @ chicago show?

Mike told me - he never talked to anyone about this guitar - and could not give a letter from a phone call?

I'll check out the picts now

Re: strathead sold @ chicago show?

I seriously doubt Mike told this seller he remembers this red strat. How many red strats do you suppose they cranked out? Pre pro or not?
No plate? Large logo? No dice right there. Parts guitar...if its even Charvel parts.

22 fretter? not a prepro...Parts at best but not all Charvel. I suspect the neck is other. If it is possible to check the trussrod adjustment nut that may tell more. The multiple pictures in the other thread carfully miss many of the telltale indicators for validating the neck. No good picture of the skunk stripe.

Do any Charvel owners here hav a strat body where the trem cavith and humbucker route have that rectangular pass thru? I have seen it on parts bodies and Dimarzio bodies but do not remember seeing it on complete guitars, serialized or prepro.

Just saw page 2 of the photos

Looks like a wayne neck by the birdseye, recent and light color. I understand the headstock looks a little strange but may just be banged up.

Re: strathead sold @ chicago show?

remember NOT all of those dimarzio parts had the stamp. also chandler, performance & other parts makers from that time had very similar routes to charvels.
