Dammit..they finally come out with some 1 3/4" nut width necks, and they're 21 fretters...CURSES!!!

Why would anyone want a 21 fret neck? All my guitars have 24, but at least go with 22!

Crownhead tuners...is that just retro nostaligic bullshit, or is there really something special about those?!?

Post of the day. Without a doubt!

i can manage with a 21 fret neck, biut 22 is the easiest option...21 is cool and very retro, but they were only 21 coz they hadn't invented 22 frets yet..i think they should have some more updated features, or at least as options....

People seem to miss the point that these guitars are supposed to be antiquated. They are supposed to be exact copies of the Charvels you would have bought back in the ‘70s. I think it’s cool that they made this batch of retro guitars for collectors since it is so rare to find anyone who will part with an original. However FMIC are retards for thinking they can charge more for them than what the originals are worth.

I know those Legacy Series graphics are pretty gaudy, but that was the style back then. I can’t say I like the blood splatter graphic though. It looks more like a kindergarten art project than a murder scene.

No, because they wouldn't have had recessed Floyds back then.

I don't think there were any Floyd trems back then. It looks like the photo on the Charvel website shows all the guitars with vintage Fender style trems. Unless I'm missing something.

Hmm, I don't know what the hell happend. I must have had two windows open at the same time and posted to the wrong thread. LOL

those quilted stained headstocks are fucking awesome. that's some classy work.

but I'm sure they're attached to guitars that are so gouged up in price it's just stupid.

I'm not certain what you mean by that but Gibson solidbodies had 22 frets back in the '50's.
