Satchel jumped ship??

[lepard]

As a former employee of, I can vouch for that with just about everything Henry J gets his mitts on.

Man, as successful as Gibson was with the MusicYo/Kramer website in the late 90's/early 00's, it's amazing that they could screw up Kramer so bad. MusicYo.com was awesome !!! and cheap. Direct online sales is the wave of the future. I spent 2 1/2 hours Sunday night talking to the owner of Diamond Guitars(Jeff Diamond) and he's gone to now selling 70% of Diamond Guitars(World Musical Instruments S. Korea - Really good stuff) online. He has a few specific dealers for internet and eBay/Reverb sales but other than that, it's all direct online sales.

Hasn't Carvin been selling direct for half a century now? The rest of the world is now realizing the benefits of cutting out the middleman.

More pics. Based on various posts, photos, and clues already stated, we can assume Mexican Charvel (no "Made in ______" under the Charvel headstock logo), Dinky body, likely Fishman Fluence pickups, non-recessed Floyd.

Should have been a CS model. Most of us SP fans are nostalgic old fogies with loads and loads of cash to burn.

That's a pretty awesome video!

And I still buy albums. Mostly CDs, but I still buy some newer stuff on vinyl.

I almost ALWAYS buy CDs still. Guess I'm an old man now, but it's just what I prefer. Seems more "real" to me to have it.

I download nothing, sure i miss heaps because i can't afford to buy 5000 cds a year but i will always pay for a tangible product because i like to hold & look at what I'm listening to & mp3s sound shit,, anything of a better quality takes too long to download on our 17th century internet.

I'd drop 2+ grand on a 24 fret version.

could just be a guitar he had painted

That is the same exact stripe pattern that's on my Limited Edition Jackson DK2m Yellow Bengal........

Any word on ANYTHING from Charvel and NAMM? It's 2 weeks away, no?

[kamanda]

Exactly...gunna have to wait 2 weeks.

A local Kramer dealer has a sale on the Satchel's.

And...
Satchel was playing his Charvel logo at Sofie Viagra's bounce event. Err, umm, her husband's birthday party.

Steel Panther in Vancouver on January 20th. Doesn't reveal much else but it is a nice guitar!

[Number Of The Priest]

With NAMM 2017 over, I still haven't seen any announcements or photos about concerning this guitar or possible endorsement. Does anyone have any news?

I was just getting ready to ask the same question. Maybe they still working on the details?

[outlawten5]

Or maybe it's contract renewal time with Kramer. lol

[Flatpicker]

I'm not even sure Kramer is an entity anymore.
There was zip from them at NAMM. But, no Satchel Sig from Charvel either.
