Charvel News: Friday the 13th

Actually, I like the hot rodded tele look, but that's just me...

I like the hot-rodded Tele look, too. I just wish they'd offer hardtail models as an alternative.

I contacted a Charvel dealer yesterday... He told me it was 999.00 with case.
So I assume, that the 999.00 is Map price

No case,but gig bag (see AD)

I'm definitely feeling a So-Cal coming my way. I just don't know if I can wait for a color I really want or grab an orange one now....

[Bryan]

There's just one problem: website hits do not equal sales. If the sales aren't there, the line dies again.

Judging from some of the comments in this thread, I see it dying one last time.

I really think the sales will back this line up, especially considering how quickly they'll hit retail.

In stores one month after the announcement?

Perfect timing!

Nothing sucks more than hearing about a new guitar, then having to wait forever for them to be in stores.

Oh yeah...

Where is Matt in all this? He should be taking orders for these right now.

Does the Peavey Wolfgang release ring a bell? Took them forever to get into stores.

I see Mike Learn's future....filled with.....stripping inexpensive stratheads....and adding custom graphics.

I think they are on the right track. Price them the same as a USA Strat.

I think if I was going for a graphic though, I'd go Musikraft/Warmoth/USAC. The Charvels are 3 piece bodies and the necks look like they're flat sawn. For less money, you can get a 2 piece body and a quartersawn maple neck. Then send it out for paint.
Why pay for paint twice?
YMMV

[thetroy]

Mex is right. If you just want a graphic strathead you will be much better served by the likes of Warmoth + the painter of your choice.

Hey they just put up the spec sheets!

[RobRR]

Oh wow, I wasnt expecting the necks to be quartersawn!! Rock!

[Jackson/Charvelfan]

The spec sheets do settle almost all of the questions.
The SC Style1 is routed for HSH!!!

[mike-o]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm stoked!

[pro-fusion]

Wow, those are a helluva deal. That So Cal Style 1 with the HSH rout is damn tempting--you could do some interesting pickguard stuff with that...

That is exactly what I was thinking!
