Anyone know the Floyd sustain block length on these? 42mm or 37mm length?

[sonicsamurai]

So "Floyd Rose" means Chinese "Floyd Rose"

My rr24 definately had an ofr...

Did it have "made in Germany" on the back???

[sonicsamurai]

i can't remember tho someone did tell me that it was...ask the guy i just swapped it with. Either way it was very sound ...i don.t know what issue people have with these pings because if it is a ping it worked extremely well and had no tuning problems...

[slayer]

Very interesting, I sure hope they have a 1 hum variant as well as possibly a reversed headstock option.

Yes 1 Hum for sure!! The Tele needs a pointy headstock.

I normally don't post stuff here from other boards, but someone has one (candy red) and posted a quick review. To try to settle this: yes, these have the cheaper Chinese floyd. He said the trem isn't bad, and overall he says the guitar is excellent and he plans on getting more. I trust his opinion bigtime, and I'll probably be looking to get one of these soon (thinking I'll wait for the green), especially now that the big questions about the necks are answered. I really expected them to be flatsawn.

edit- he just posted pics. Made in Usa is under the headstock logo and on the plate. 6 digit serial #, which is interesting.

How did someone get one when they aren't due out until next month??? Sounds like someone has connections

Wow! It looks like they did a great job of putting together what most people would want and still keeping the price way down. They've got the Ford Model T "Any color you want as long as it's black" thing going on haha!

For those people (like me) who would want a full pull up, you could have a luthier just partially route behind it, or didn't Steve Vai use a screw driver to hack his up?????

Hi Guys... Happy Fathers Day from Charvel! Just to clear it up... we put some guitars in some Artists hands in order to get some feedback and get them out in peoples hands...

Also, another point to clear up... the bridge is Korean. It's the same as the RR24 and the Techs at the factory absolutley love them. The guitars come set up with the proper neck angle for a top mount floyd and they have plenty of Pull Back range. The So-Cal has slightly less than the San Dimas due to the nature of the specs.

Everyone enjoy and WE can't wait till you can play these guitars.

lol you can`t wait? How`d you think we feel

Any idea how long they`ll take to hit the UK, and will us brits get the same colour options or is this gonna be import only? Also can we get the time order for the colours, don`t wanna buy one too early and miss the colour i want, or just plain miss out whilst waiting for that green and not getting any imported. Great job by FMIC & Charvel, much appreciate this, and can`t wait to get at least 1.

Any chance of Charvel swag being made available in the UK or alternately, maybe selling a job lot to a dealer here on the boards who maybe would be prepared to ship internationally? "Please note that we currently deliver orders within the United States only."
