Heads up-Charvel Slime San Dimas $625 new

[Vass]

Hah I go to post in classifieds, my last subscription must have just expired!

Obviously not my guitar..... They appear new (or at least have nothing to indicate they're used in the ad).

Maybe no case? Says trem and paperwork under accessories.


They have the slime hum-single hard tail @ $599 new too.

I snagged one like-new used off Reverb. Previous owner had put in Blackouts (white ones- wtf!) and was selling it cheap 'cuz no one would touch it. Surprisingly, the Blackouts didn't sound too bad. Would've preferred the JB and '59. I let it go because the neck felt REALLY chunky. Not my recollection of what a San Dimas felt like. With a more authentic SD profile neck, a proper set of PUs and a real-deal Orig. Floyd, that thing would've been awesome!

Wait, those are USA made Charvels? I didn't think they were. The original USA models from a few years ago were only a touch above that, I want to say $725 shipped.

I don't think so. I think this is part of the Pro Mod series that was MIJ for a while then moved to Mexico when Fender closed down the Japan factory.

The ones you were thinking of were called the San Dimas/So Cal USA production series. I think they may have only made them for a year or two before transitioning to the Japanese Pro Mods. I want to say street price was around $1200 for the USA line.

Not USA those floyds at music zoo are recessed. The USA models were non-recessed.

Those TMZ say FR Special. I thought they were the FRT-1000...??

the first runs(s) of MIJ were also topmounted

And I thought the MIM were different from the MIJ by having the trussrod wheel at the heel (dunno if the first runs had this already) if so, I suspect that TMZ is a (NOS?) MIJ

Looks like a pretty good deal
Checking a close up of the fret ends, it doesn't look like any NOS MIJ to me, the tangs aren't cut back; they look more like the MIM ends to me. In any case, the price looks great with the free shipping included.
If I didn't have a San Dimas already, I would give one a try.

They're last year's MIM pro mods. And not a FR special, MZ probably just copied that from the Charvel website which had the spec wrong. It's the MIK 1000 series.

Very good price and, with a quartersawn neck, arguably a better quality guitar than the new 2016 pro mods. Those now have flatsawn necks, albeit with stiffining rods.

I still don't think it's a good price, when I bought my first year USA Charvel SD run I swear it was only $725-$750 shipped with a gig bag...

[lepard]

Made in Mexico junk, end of story. You can buy a much better, much nicer Japanese version with a case for less.

Even cheaper at Riff City
