Charvel USA Production Model Series

[Newc]

Was she teaching Jackson folks how to wind pickups?

Abigail Ybarra has worked for Fender since the 1950s.

Abigail did a short tour of duty for Jackson/Charvel.

I also remeber something about Abigail working for Jackson in the 80's. Also, somewhere I heard that Fender bought the machines to build pickups from Jackson, in like the late 80's, early 90's, and she went to work for Fender then.

....(clenching teeth).... have to hold out.....green SD1.....so tough...want to pre-order now.... have to hold out....must ignore posts regarding pre-orders....hold out....green SD1......don't know next color batches.....must hold out.... damn it's hard....

I actually would have preferred a blue San Dimas Style 1 with HSS, but I figure I will never get that variation, so I went ahead and did the So Cal figuring that I could change the pickguard and pickups if the HH doesn't do it for me.

How about a production model of this guitar? ... http://www.themusiczoo.com/Charvel_U...hic_C7800.html

Another thought ... does anyone think the black ones will sell? They are just too plain for my tastes.

And did anyone see this: http://www.themusiczoo.com/charvel/c...ion_series.htm

Didn't Abigail work with Jackson back in the '80s, too? I thought I remembered Jim Shine mentioning that.

Abigail works for Fender. Showed her on Made In America when they did the Fender tour.

Clapton and several other big names will only use pickups wound by her.

ANd MJ wound my 3 Custom Duncans - Distortion Jr, Jazz Jr, and Custom Jr

[toejam]

I even think there was one lady that was supposed to wound the best pickups

thats Maricela Juarez over at duncan and yes they have major MOJO
she does the custom shop stuff now but but in the earlier years she was the one that hand wound any duncan pup that had the label like JBJ, DDJ, DCJ
JBJ means it is a JB model wound by juarez
DDJ is the duncan distortion wound by her,
DCJ is the duncan custom wound and so on
but these days she does only custom orders

MJ is great, but did she work for Jackson or Fender? I believe he's speaking of Abigail Ybarra.

yeah the new Charvel budget line has got great reviews from all the folks that had a chance to play them. I have 3 on pre-order from the Music Zoo and can't wait to play one for myself.

[mattsmusiccenter]

that takes balls to be that honest from a dealer standpoint, and considering your existing inventory Matt.

I really respect that and that is why when I do get one of these, it will be from you and no one else.

The custom shop guitars are a completely different animal. With a custom the sky is the limit, this isn't the case with the production models.

Plus, Matt says he's got a bunch of pre-orders, and I don't see these anywhere on his website!

I just pre-ordered a Tangerine So Cal from Matt.

They're going fast!

it's the subcontracting to where ever, that can lead to bad quality in my opinion

Shoot! I just deleted my post! I'm a friggin retard, but I was just going to disagree with my self about the subcontracting because I believe the MIJ Jackson Charvel are subcontracted

[beachjammer]

My local dealer is supposed to be getting some and he told me he'd let me know as soon as they get there.
