coolio....nice to see these guitars getting exposurewww.usacharvels.com - info, pics and Charvel guitar discussion board. All things Charvel
My Charvel guitars - always one away from too many! -
I wonder how many times in his life this reviewer has said "Check this out..."
Are they going to post a correction about the pickup route in the next issue?GTWGITS! - RacerXComment

That was a pretty goofy error on the part of the GW reviewer. I mean, is there an electronics cavity on the back of the SoCal's body? No. So, clearly, the guitar is top-routed and (based on the standard pickups) has at least a hum-hum route. You'd think that, before making such statements, they'd at least fact check it with the manufacturer's rep. And, if they had, they would've been informed of the H-S-H route underneath.
Can't understand how they could've possibly gotten that wrong. All he had to do was flip the guitar over. :think:
And, IMHO, that PU route "hot rodding" flexibility is one of the coolest features of the SoCal.
Cool to see them getting the review exposure, nonetheless.

Like I said on another thread - I love that Charvels are getting the exposure in the reviews and that the reviews have been positive. That's going to let people know they're out there and generate interest.
I love the enthusiasm the GW reviewers have for the guitars - they clearly like them a lot.
In that light, I can live with the inaccuracies and errors in the reviews - and not a single mention of the controversial volume knob (which I like).
What I don't get is why the reviewer felt the need to describe (incorrectly) what was under the pickguard - I've never heard that in a review. I've read and seen tons of Strat reviews, and never has one of the reviews said - "by the way, theres wood cutaway from there so that there's room for electronics." It just don't make much sense to me.-------------------------

Just a guess, but an educated one... when I explained the So-Cal, the subject of the route came up. I noted that during the design phase, we opted NOT to go with what you would normally expect... a swimming pool route.
We felt that the tone was better with what WE call a Universal route... It allows for HSS, HSH, H and SSS. Make sense? We take out less wood but still allow for proper pickup location. If it was a strict HSH route, you would not be properly locating the middle single coil.
It was more than likley a misunderstanding. I have talked with them... it's all good!
Great review and I think like many of you, it's a good thing to get the word out about how killer and special these guitars are. I really appreciate the fact that they liked them so much.
Later, have a great weekend...
