Thanks for sharing...

single action truss rod. newcs response is the general motors mentality. wonder why the people are buying toyotas, while gm stock is at an all time low?

Yes, it NEEDED a setup, the floyd was leaning forward about 1/4"

In that case I can understand it needing an adjustment.
However,...

and the action was high.

THAT is a personal preference.

Too high for YOU, not "universal".

The frets NEEDED polished, they were simply dull and you could still see some crowning marks.

Again, personal preference. This does not affect the tone or playability of the guitar.

The knob is a personal opinion...

Oh, so NOW it's personal opinion

I could care less, Ive got 40 knobs laying around plus the one Im responding to right now.

Har har har.

And if you expect to have to dress/polish the frets on a new custom, you have even lower standards than I thought you did based on your response from my SL2H fiasco thread.

Again we go to personal preference. Shiny, reflective frets are not an absolute necessity.

There were no issues stated in the original post that were not directly related to, and that should not have been followed by the words "according to my personal preference".

So far, the only thing negative about them that has any universal ramification is the leaning Floyd.

That knob comment was funny enough to make me spit coffee on my laptop.

God I love this place.

yeah that was a good one
I was wondering though why rob's comments on HIS new charvel bothered newc?
I did not think rob was bitching at all, he was just telling it like it is

Thanks for the cool pics. These things are a good value with a qtr sawn neck at this price point. Anyone remember what the upcharge was for a strathead when they first started offering them on the customs? Wasn't it around $500?

[busdriver]

Any pics of the gig bag?

[Robert Hendrix]

I like the disclaimer on the back of the headstock!!! Nice guitar!! Looks great.. I can't wait to try one.

"will soon be included as a Platinum perk"

[Rich#6]

how much for non plat. members? Is that actual size?

[SEEGERMANY]

That's actual size. It can also be ordered with an OFR.

If only it had a Kahler:ROTF::ROTF:

Rob, I'm curious about the floyd. Does it have a 42mm block or 37mm? Not sure why, but I've gotten one guitar from them with each. One has more neck-tilt & a 42 mm block, so it has decent pullup range. The other has a 37mm block, very little tilt & pullup range. Curious to see what they did on the production series.

Oh those darned lawyers. You'd think that since Charvel is part of FMIC that the wouldn't have to print a book on the back of the headstock to point (no punn intended) out the licensing.

Is that text permanent or on a sticker that can be pealed off? I'd probably install the wrench holder over top of it anyway.
