Charvel USA Production Model Series

[Big D]

My pictures suck but here she is, fresh out of the FedEx truck this afternoon at my local shop.

Quality seems solid, neck feels fantastic (after a set-up), tone is *very* good (actually better than some of my more expensive Charvels). Very happy so far!

My local shop has 10 left (including a red SD1 and the Tangerine So-Cal) and they're willing to ship. If you want their name/number, PM me.

I love that guitar in that color, I wish they had put a tele headstock on it though...

I still may pick one up because that color kicks ass.

Man, I really want to try one of these, but my local dealer (Martin Music) is a complete jackass about letting you test-drive gear.

I thought the same thing at first. But then I thought, hell I already have Tele's with a "proper" headstock.

Part of what makes this guitar so cool is that it is different. And when I stopped and thought.....Strat head, Pagan Gold, Floyd, USA Charvel with a super cool Tele body for under a grand. Well suddenly it became a no brainer for this cat.

You mean you can't go into the store and play the guitar? They expect you to buy it without even touching it? Odd.

I think it looks cool with the strathead... nice color too.

[BenoA]

Nice guitar Big D! Congratz!

If i played tele's it would be the charvel tele-strat you have.
congrats

[Robert Hendrix]

I hate teles, but I have been hooked on this guitar since the first pic I saw of it... If you think about it, it's pretty far removed from a tele. The only thing tele about it is the shape and I won't swear that THAT'S not a little different.

I know theres a few peeps in the UK desperate to get some of these and i`ve found 2 shops in the UK that can `maybe` get hold of these,

Guitar Guitar aren`t 100% they can get many, Ant music are confident they will get a batch. Times are Sept delivery for Guitar Guitar and 2-3 weeks for Ant Music. Both shops are hopeful they can deliver on custom colours.

GREAT pics, Big D. Love that color.

Well, you can play it, but without a pick! He says he doesn't want to get them "scratched" (even the ones with the pickguards!). Give me a break, it's not like this is one of his $10,000 PRS Private Stocks! I understand he doesn't want people pawing over is equipment, but I'm not about to spend money on a guitar that I can't thoroughly test out. Most people buy guitars to play them, not to hang them as wall-art. But that's just one of many things he does that sets me off as a customer... That's why I prefer to spend money at someplace like Matt's Music where he puts the customer first.

I'll probably end up playing one when ever I happen to be in Nashville again though. Theese pictures make me want one more and more!

How is the finish on the back of the neck? Is it like the EBMM finishes?

[Trypp Powell]

Has anyone heard any rumors/info on the next run of colors?

It's really too bad that I don't get along with thin necks.
