Charvel USA Production Model Series

[Bionic]

I do not mean to hijack this thread but in the video blog from the NAMM I noticed a couple of strathead Bulleye's not the relic'd ones but Black floyds/1hum. Will these possibly be a LTD edition production model?

These were Custom's.

I understand these have truss rod adjustments at the heel. Hmmmmmm.

yes i believe so

[ADR]

I was thinking,who knows w/the "So-Cal",under that PG? may not have to remove the neck,or even loosen the neck screws.

I really don't mind,I've owned numerous Strats that had the heel screw.
Infact my 2 Strats are like that now.

I want a midnight blue SanDimas 1. I have two red guitars, and two black guitars already.

COOL SIG BRO!
I am hearing rumors these are partially MIM charvels?

I've heard those rumors as well. Mike MacGregor (head of the Charvel division) was asked that at the show, and he confirmed they are all 100% USA-made.

Of course, that doesn't mean they're not being made by persons of Mexican origin or ancestry

I was going to say that but held back.

to be honest i would not have cared IF they were partially MIM, as long as i am told up front by the company
I do not like being duped by any company.
that bothers me not the fact they are made outside the USA

just paid the balance on my so cal black at matt's now all i have to do is wait. I have been waiting for a new production line ever since i sold an 86 model 2 that i had in black that i had a kahler pro trem unit put on it. I loved that guitar and i sold it a few years back in a momentary lapse of reason hopefully this one will play the same or better to make up for that mistake.

I have my Tangerine So-Cal on pre-order as well. Already thinking about a tele (if only it had a tele headstock!!!) and I can't wait to see what the next LE colors will be...

[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.

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

[DHardmanJr]

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!

....(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....

[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.

[gtrbuyer]

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.
