Note the "New Manufacturer Pricing" comment in the description.

I wonder if this means that Charvel finally got real with the pricing on these Grover Jackson Legacy limited runs, and allowed dealers to lower the prices? ...Err "more" real, I mean. Still not there, IMHO.

[rjohnstone]

Still way to pricey for what they are.
They need to knock another $2k off.

[Joe_Steeler]

Still overpriced.......

[Rufue]

They knocked off a big chunck of change, but they are still priced more than what they are worth. However, this might be a good sign that J/C is getting their pricing more in line with market and demand. At least I hope so!

[Joe_Steeler]

Don't hold your breath.... I want to see more before my belief system is restored.

[MikeStrat]

I think Tommy is just concerned that he has more coming in than going out. I would be too.

[Joe_Steeler]

He's not the only one

Charvel getting "Real" with pricing? I'd call $3750 UN-Real

[scotty]

I saw that. How does it go from 10K to $3750? Still to much money.

I agree it's still too much for what the guitar is, but it's a big step in the right direction. I think MZ is bound by MAP pricing for new stuff even in eBay auctions, so that would mean it really is a legit drop in J/C's price. Not getting my hopes up too high, but I hope this mindset trickles down to the stuff I'm interested in, like being able to get a birdseye neck for less than $600 + an automatic bump to masterbuilt pricing.

How long do you think those "Bizarro" PC1's will stay there? I think we are close to a year and counting. Between The Zoo and Fukkers I mean Fullers, they were a real stroke of genius.

$10k was full list price. Since MAP is typically 25% off list price, I'm thinking Charvel may have cut list price from $10k to $5k. And MAP on $5k would be the BIN of $3,750. ...Long story short, Charvel may have cut the price in half.

[Joe_Steeler]

Better keep cutting, if they want to get real.
Otherwise is dust over those "art" pieces.

Yeah, FMIC have slashed their pricing, and the stores are now reflecting that....

Aside from the "Legacy" pile of """"".
What other FMIC price slashing have you seen?

They just announced SRV's Lenny, last number I heard +/- $14k
Brazilian Strats for MAP of $6250 (a real joke BTW)
CS Masterbuilts no lower than $5k
Charvel CS, oh do we know!
Jackson CS, oh do we know!
EVH stuff, oh do we know! $25k for Frankie and $2k for a Mexican made amp.
Clapton Antigua Strat and amp with a 5 year old drawn sunny for $25k

I don't see it 'ol buddy.
