More Charvel Dweezil problems...Uhhh!

[L]

I am ordering a Dweezil Green guitar first thing tomorrow. I can guarantee that it will be the nicest guitar on the planet knowing that the staff have worked out all the bugs on this first batch. Thank you for your sacrifices, early adopters!

[sully]

i just wish they'd allow us to have stratheads sometime.

Nice post, DM. I see a bright shiny "demo guitar" in your future, right John?

*snickers*...for the record...i am merely a name on their website...i have not asked for free guitars, t-shirts, or anything...i'm just happy to be there on the site in the ranks of players who far outclass me...so no...i dont expect a demo guitar or anything like that...just wanted folks to see that having the jcmi guys here is a priviledge and not something they have to do...tcs~devane

Well put DM...nice post. I think that's probably the best essay I've seen on how to mitigate the polarization that we have been seeing lately.

[diablomozart]

thanks rupe..im in one of my philosophical moods today...lol..d.m.

Well said DM!!

BTW...It's a privilege BOTH ways. You get to talk directly with us, we get to talk directly with you.

Gosh I hope we can end this thread so JW can get back to work and get Charvel swag on the website. (i.e. shirts, caps and a cool wall banner... please!)

Yes, and what happened to the Letterman style leather jacket?......

I'll take some pictures but what I was disappointed with was the fact that this guitar was sent back with multiple problems and this escaped a quality inspection. I went back to my other Charvel USA custom shop guitars and discovered they probably had the same problem but it was caught and someone chiseled the route to make it clear. I am debating sending this one to get properly repaired. I ordered that guitar from Guitar Asylum during the Fender transition and it took a year and a half to get the guitar. I told GA that I specifically wanted a 3D plate and that I would wait as long as it took. That guitar showed up with no dot inlays and I was told "tough" by GA. That was the last thing I ever bought from there. Now I deal with MAtt. This my 3rd Charvel custom shop to have a serious problem in one year. I have gone through an EVH Art, 2004 Custom Zebra Tribal, and now the DWeezil.

Just on a positive note here.....JCMTKGGUY contacted me and I advised him of the problems I experienced. I think that's very decent and I appreciate it. I am a huge fan of these guitars ...like all of us ..and I really want nothing but the best success for both sides here.

Well here is an update....I dropped the guitar at a Fender / Charvel shop and they are going to contact Charvel Custom Shop for direction. The shop said they will either tell him to route it, send a replacement body, or have me UPS it back to Charvel. Here is the kick in my stomach though...If they don't return it to Charvel I will have to pay $125 to have the guitar set up after the repair. I was told that Charvel/ Fender will not cover that. I am quite pissed about that.

FYI.. even if they do send it back to Charvel, it will still need to be setup when you get it back.
The shop does a very basic setup. I just got my PC-1 back from Jackson and while it was OK, it really needed a good bit of tweaking to get it right for me.
$125 is pretty high though... I paid $55 to have mine setup. And it's spot on perfect now.

I feel a little better now. I am telling you either then that route problem they really did a great job on the guitar. This luthier in NY is the best I have ever dealt with in 23 years of guitar playing. He can turn garbage into a nice instrument.
