New Charvel Star

[toejam]

Got this from Matt's Music yesterday. New USA Standard Star! Sorry about the crappy indoor pics, but I'm sick today and didn't feel like dragging it outside.

Congrats Joe! You have a life after all!!

So, you reported sick to stay home with the new toy, eh?
I hope she play's as expected.

What's the body wood on these Standard Star's? Alder? <i'm too lazy to look it up heh>

[toejam]

Thanks! I love the Jazz neck pup, not too sure yet about the slightly scooped sound of the Custom 5, though. And it came with a form-fitting G&G case which properly holds the neck up and keeps the headstock from hitting the bottom of the case. The strap button on the neck bolt was a little loose, I had to tighten it... guess they didn't use enough custom shop toothpicks in there. I don't see why they couldn't put it in the center of the plate, but it doesn't bother me all that much. Plays great!!!!

Well, I'm pretty much self-employed and work mostly from home anyway, so it's all good.
Yes, made of alder, very light. Oiled neck feels great, neck is slightly round and beefy, no thin Dinky neck here.

Kickass! You gotta love black w/ maple board. I've been itching for a Star and this didn't help matters any. Congratulations!

[SeventhSon]

Great lookin Star! I have a white one with a maple board.

[shreddermon]

Cool! Looks great. I was wondering when someone was going to nab that one. Congrats, Toejam.

Someday I'll have to get myself a star again.

[Mr Graphic]

That's one classy looking Star, congrats!

[JZ06]

Very nice! I was going to say the same thing, "Classy" lookin' axe!

Even though you're sick, I'm sure that guitar can relieve you!

[BLOOD SPLATTER]

Congrats Joe!!Love them Stars!!

Re:the strap button placement....ugghh!!But I digress!!

Congrats again!!

[toejam]

Thanks, guys! It's a cool player for sure. I haven't really played it much today due to my slight cold and cough, but I really should get some of my work done and then jam on her later.

That's a nice looking guitar. It's nice to hear the new cases are showing up.
