Apologies for the cruddy pictures - not a great day for camera work. But it's late January in the northeast, so whatchya gonna do?





OK, here's where things get a little strange. Is it 1986 all over again? :think: Are they moving the custom shop back to San Dimas, and ran out of Charvel neckplates? :ROTF:

Very cool!!
Strange deal with the nameplate.... did you ask?

[shreddermon]

Nah. Sure, I'd be curious to know. But they're busy guys and have better things to deal with, like building guitars.

Then again, maybe one of the J/C guys will see this thread and answer the mystery.

With so many things to like I pick 24 frets on a Charvel and Mahogany body as favorite features.

Very nice Pat. Looks kind of familiar, to a point at least...

[Axewielder]

Awesome! I love the pup/controls/wiring config on that. Very original! Except for the fact that you stole it from the Predator...

[Flatpicker]

Nice.
Love s/h configs.

[daisp]

Looks great Pat! interesting about the plate..

[ihave27frets]

Both look awesome!

[fullmetalguitar]

Great looking. I really like the purple. You can't go wrong with 24 frets and a dinky. That sure is strange about the neck plate.
