Charvel USA Production Model Series

[surfreak]

It'll be interesting to see if dealers will now put their the current stock of "custom shop" pieces on a blow-out sale... I really hope so!

Sweet!

And about the Floyd... to be honest, I couldnt care less where its made. As long as it performs as its intended and is durable, who cares where the bridge is made? Its still a genuine Floyd Rose... though not an "original". As long as the baseplate is hardened and it comes with that nice solid brass sustain block, does anything else really matter? Id take a made in USA guitar with a Korean floyd over a Korean guitar with a German Floyd any day of the week.

Very valid point/s.
I agree AND if having a OFR is a deal to many then upgrade to an OFR.
Either way an American quality guitar is getting made from the Charvel camp.

The way I look at it, either way (upgrade to a OFR or not), its a win win situation. Were getting a very decent quality guitar for a very affordable price. This is what Charvel needs and the customer needs.
This is a very positive for both parties, good will come from this.

I'm drooling over the candy apple red.
I wish it was offered in a single coil and humbucker configuration.
But hey, two humbuckers can't be all that bad.
I just prefer a single coil in there somewhere because of versatility
and achieving a "strat" tone.

Yes, lifetime warranty.

I'm not sayin it's my #1.. But it's a good value for the price..

I don't know.. A Korean Floyd at that price point might very well be a deal breaker for me.. I mean I got an OFR and Dimarzios on my Gunslinger for $699

Isnt the gunslinger korean??

I believe as soon as they release a white, yellow or green tele my deposit's going into Matts account straight away!

I posted this in the genaral area as well, but any idea of these guitars will be covered under the usual lifetime warranty?

Yes, lifetime warranty.

A seven string strathead? Has there ever been such a contraption?

I've seen a used 7 string Squire at a local store. I think it had the big CBS headstock too. I might play it next time i'm up there.

Fender released a seven string stagemaster a few years back.

Drum City Guitar Land also had a blue 7-string Custom Shop Fender a year or so ago on their site.

So this is *NOT* a complaint, but wasn't there supposed to be a single humbucker version out too?

Buy a So Cal model and a new pickguard. Single hum, H-S-S, H-S, H-S-H, and H-H would all work with the H-S-H route underneath the pickguard.

All I can say is Holy Crap. Those look nice. Hopefully by the time I can save up for one of them, some people will post reviews.
