Everyone show off your Green Meanie's

[Jackson/Charvelfan]

I am intrested in seeing everyones as I building one as soon as the Body comes in.
Here is a outline of what I want Mine to look look like.
Mine will look like the Charvel in the Carvin ad but will have a few mods


But with out the sticker.


The pickguard will be white and the same color pickups as above but I will use Dimarzio Breeds. The claw route will be pink as org.

The inside of the lower horn will be ground as the late version was.

[Jackson/Charvelfan]

The neck is a Jackson woodburn maple with a 1 5/8" nut.


I still need to cut the nut shelf for a OFR.

That will be killer dude! I like the color combination of the pups in the Carvin ad as well..do that one!

Here's the GMW I had..it's being loved in a new home now but still very cool, hope the new owner doesn't mind me showing it off

Does this belong in the USA Charvel section?

I'm not sure if I ever posted any pics of my green meanie build here. Most everyone on this board has always seemed to be against the "relic-ing" of a green meanie build. I feel that if you are going to do one...it should look like the real thing.

The green meanie era I was after is the later scalloped horn era...but before the black pickguard & stickers...like you see here:




Mine is a Wayne body, Musikraft neck, Duncan Custom 5 in the bridge, Dimarzio hs-2, & Dimarzio Air Norton in the neck. Here it is:

[sully]

sully

Great guitar bsteff666,
I am not a fan of the relic look but yours looks amazing.

[Johnnyryche]

That's a great replica, Brian. You just need some more wear on the green tuners (which are cool as hell!).

[bsteff666]

Thanks guys.
Those green tuner buttons are the stock ones...I just sanded the chrome & shot them with paint....so they have gotten some wear since these pics.
Actually...these pics are from when I completed the guitar over a year ago....so now the neck does have a little dirt to it....it matches the body better now.
