Charvel USA Production Model Series

[Ralph E.]

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...

[gregmarmon]

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'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

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

I was going to say that but held back.

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

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

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.

[savage]

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

yes i believe so

[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.

[shreddermon]

I believe the bullseye was a custom shop guitar. Make n' Music has done a couple of single hum/Floyd/strathead runs of these, anyway - both B&W and R&W.

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

[savage]

frankly I feel very comfortable ordering one of these sight unseen, they look well made and the hardware choices are nice for the price.

same here!

provided they make a green SD1.
I'm on that the first day it's announced.
