Charvel News: Friday the 13th

That Candy Tangerine with the black PG is so fucking sexy......

+1...But isn't that the same color as "Tangelo" from the earlier USA's?

[Jackson-Charvel]

Are these the only configurattions they are making or are there more surprises? I notice they have a 2H at the end of the name. Here's hoping they make all these models as a 1H as well!

I might have to give up a kidney, but with a 1H version I'd want one of each style all in orange or gold.

OK, now why the limited colors? I want them in green-now. I would buy one in green if they had one. Why are they taking a cool thing and putting a hiccup in it. Aside from that this is cool. I think a So-Cal is in my future....IN GREEN!!!

[Joe_Steeler]

we are not all going to be happy.... aren't we?....

[toejam]

Awesome! About time they're using the DiMarzio Tone Zone in their alder bodies instead of the Duncan Custom 5. The C5 sounds too scooped in the mids in anything other than mahogany, IMO.

there may be some bad news! the oil speculators are now betting on a demand for these guitars and the MSRP of $999 is now $1150. Wait, that was 10 min's. ago ...Updated price is now $1275 ..... no, now it's $1320 ....

[piranhaguy2002a]

Does anyone know if the $999.99 is MSRP/List?

The "Custom" color is going to rotate every 3 months. So I'm sure the green and (yippee!!) the blue will be a few months off. Still better than waiting for a Custom Shop guitar.

Well they are black as standard a then 1 color will be ltd batch runs every 3 months

Good catch K...I didn't quite connect the dots on that black standard part - I guess I was reading too fast in all the excitement LOL!
(Even with Pictures d'oh!)

I hope the marketing people at FMIC is digesting what is happening here.

New products + correct price point + anticipation of colors + anticipation of features + correct price point + finally some variety on pick ups + some swag + no skulls + no zombies + no tits + correct price point = a heck of whole lot of excitement on a line many of us were wondering if it was alive or in life support.

Look at the hits and time stamps - fast and furious attention.

[Bodomhc]

I hope they're good quality!

Actully this does make me happy. My only thing is the colors, but everything else looks great. Is that an original Floyd too? price is great. I thought the pups were JB and 59? I hope the neck has a nice old school feal.

[Madness]

Yup, very excited about these! Did anyone catch if one of those color swatches were white?

The pickups vary by model.

The San Dimas Style 2 has a JB and a 59.
