no Jake?

Thanks, that was one I actually didn't do myself, but I entrusted Marty Bell in Orange County, CA to do for me. He does nice work and is really fast.
I did really want that Charvel Blueburst. I was in on it from the beginning. Strange how the business world works sometimes.

What does Jake E Lee do nowadays? I haven't heard anything big on the Jake front but I've never been a follower. You'd think if he hasn't been up to much he'd welcome the endorsement to keep his name out there in some sense. I dunno, though. Perhaps some Jake afficionados know better.

He's living in Las Vegas and came out with an album last year called Retraced. He did a bunch of older 70's tunes with bassist Tim Bogert of Jeff Beck and Vanilla Fudge fame. As far as I know he hasn't been touring or playing out. He is endorsing a pickup company and a stomp pedal company these days.
I hope he would get back to writing and playing out again. I think his contract ran out with ESP, so I don't know what the problem is with having the Charvel deal go through.

To me this is kinda stupid. I would understand if the said guitar was actually an official "signature" model. To not make a Charvel Submarine finished pointy, a white , blueburst or purpleburst Charvel strathead, Snakeskin covered Charvel strathead, etc... just because at one time in their career Lynch, Lee, Demartini or others played a guitar like that, is just going overboard IMO. Like I said, if it was an official signature model, then I'd understand. Where should the line be drawn?

[RhoadsLeeLynch]

Man I was hoping to get a real Charvel Blue Burst and one of those Charvel strats for a decent price...oh well I'll get them custom from Charvel.

[gtrbuyer]

likewise I was hoping to snag one..bummer.

[pebber]

I can wait

If you do the white one with the 4 bolt neck plate instead of the 3 bolt,is that sufficient enough change to negate "signature" status??

Depends on what you mean "signature" status? Fender built YJM's "Signature" American Strat with a 4 bolt, when actually his "Duck" was a 3 bolt 70's model. Much more stable IMO! I think most would agree. I built my white Jake with a 4 bolt and a contoured heel.

Pebber,
Gee, that was fast! Nice Blueburst! Awesome! That's what I will build next since Charvel will not be making this run.

[bsteff666]

Pebber....that's a great guitar. One of the few I really miss & wish I still had (I usually never part with anything.)

[npacheco]

Lovin' it pebber . I so wanted in on the purple burst

[RhoadsLeeLynch]

Kick ass guitar. When I get a bit more money I'm going to have Charvel make me the Blue Burst and The White one. It's my new goal. I need to get a Charvel anyway!

[ProjectX]

Just got this in the mail today.Don't thin I'm going to be able to build it though.I need a new amp.

[Trycolore]

ProjectX - where did you get the body from?
