Charvel/Jackson mahogany

[cristinelo]

Hey guys,

Is this thing for real?

I`m about to buy it locally here in Montreal, but I don`t seem to find any real information in her regard.
Would someone please help me take the right decision?

Cheers

Yes it's a San Dimas 1 good price too. It is an early one also, they had Jackson neck plates.

That's not Mahogany, that's Lacewood, FYI.

looks like mahogany to me:dunno:

I contacted the seller about that, because I thought it might have been lacewood too. He reckons it's mahogany but I'm not 100% convinced. If it is lacewood though, it's very tight figuring - most I've seen are much more obviously not mahogany.

You can tell by the tight, almost symmetrical grain pattern. Mahogany isn't as consistently grained like that... do a Google image search for lacewood. Lacewood is awesome though, Id love to have it!

When I bought this one (gone now) I was told it was lacewood and it turned out to be mahogany

[Rich#6]

all the lacewood guitars I have seen(and all the tops warmoth could use) have looked different then this guitar that's for sale

[cristinelo]

Yeah. Looks like Lacewood to me too now. Definitely not mahogany.
It`s also quite light.

Yep ,dense Lacewood in its glorious splendor.

Just got it(for less than the list was) , fiddling a bit with the setup and later I`ll take some pics.

Thanks all!

But if they`ve moved the prods to Japan after 86 ,what kind of charvel is this Made in Usa? I mean like made by Charvel CS in US?

Nice grab! I have a koa SD1 and used to have a mahogany, so was tempted to get this one just so I could say I'd had all three LOL
