Look what came in a couple of days ago. …Vrrooom, vroooom! 
Strat body – Alder
Quartersawn maple neck
Strathead
Pao Ferro fretboard
22 jumbo frets
MOP dot inlays
Pointyhead Charvel neck backshape
Clear gloss back of neck (…like a Holdsworth)
Schaller tuners
1 hum & 1 single coil – Dimarzio Evolution & VV Blues
1 volume & 3-way toggle
Original Floyd, non-recessed
All chrome parts, inc. strap buttons and knob
Special Hot Rod Flames graphic – More Orange and Red to the flames, Blue pinstriping outline, and over a base color of Ivory.
Custom shop logo on the back of the headstock
Serial # 7499
Actually, this is a NAMM guitar. Sort of. No, not really.
What I mean is, I ordered this on the very first day of last year’s NAMM show, when the strathead option was first allowed. So it took just about a year to the day to arrive.
I haven’t had much time to play it, but first impressions have been great. Thanks yet again to Matt at Matt’s Music, as well as the guys in the Charvel custom shop. They’ve both been especially good to me lately.
