New Quote form/ Reduced Options

[Predator1]

HEY All, Just got a copy of the new Charvel Quote form and would post it if I knew how. If some one can post it I will email it to you. It is dated 4/2/07

I'll post it - [email protected]

Unfortunatly, it is on my email at work and I just spent the past 30 minutes trying to access it from home. They have recently installed some monitoring software that has totaly fucked up my access to files at work. I will keep trying and foward it asap.

Shit - it's a Word doc. I figured it'd be a PDF and I'd just be able to convert to a JPEG and host it on Photobucket.

Um, I'll keep thinking how to do this, but in the mean time, if anyone else can host a word doc, let Scott or myself know....

[rjohnstone]

Send it to me and I'll convert it to PDF.
PM me for an email address.

HERE it is...

Yeah, my thoughts exactly more than 5000 bucks list for a Charvel strat with one MB feature.

I guess we'll tend to see more basic guitars now then, if we see any at all

[brent]

yep - less options and even higher prices compared to Jan.

They will do things not on the list but it bumps it $2000 to Masterbuilt
anything other than 1-11/16 makes the neck a $2000 option. 1-3/4" strathead? it's a $5300 list plain jane

insane.

Crazy!!!!!!

They don't want to sell them. It's the only explanation.

They don't want to sell them. It's the only explanation.

I think they're going to get what they want.

[toejam]

They've got a nice, newer selection of finishes now, but insane prices!

[rjohnstone]

It's a bolt-on strat.
We're talking less than $400 in wholesale cost for actual parts and supplies.
So the rest is labor, licensing fees and pure profit.

I can see paying a premium for a MB as you have one guy focusing on your guitar. But a "Team built" guitar with a $3k base price is just insane.

Doesn't this set the list for a custom Charvel higher than Suhr,Anderson, McNaught, Melacon, Don Grosh, and James Tyler? This at a time when we're getting frequent reports of questionable workmanship? Those are some big brass balls!
