OK lame question but I've got to know

[kmanick]

I've never had the opportunity to play a strathead Charvel (or Jackson for that matter). I've got a couple of pointy heads and I love the profile on the neck(s).both are maple neck bolt ons, one is San dimas the other is early ontario (San dimas plate). Now I've also got an 84 Fender strat plus, that I had the finish on the neck removed and refinished with tung oil. I was hoping this was going to get it to feel closer to my San dimas pointy head Charvel neck (and it does to a point) but this neck is so much fatter than my other 2. Soooooo, what is the neck radius (thickness) like on a charvel strat head neck?
Hopefully I'll stumble acros one somewhere and get a chance to see for myself. [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: OK lame question but I\'ve got to know

My recommendation would be try to find a JCF member who has one of these Old Charvel guitars near by and try it.
It is always hard to describe the feel of the neck.
Everyone has different point of views and tastes.
Since they are old,each neck feels differently from others as well(broken in feel).
Where do you live?

I'm in the Boston area. And I agree that they all feel different, even the 2 pointy heads I have feel different from each other, (but not much)

How does a PC1 feel neck wise compared to the old charvels?
one just came on Evil bay that looks real purty!

Boston Area..
Have you tried Matt's Music?
I am sure there are many JCF members in that area hangs around at Matt's.

Re: OK lame question but I\'ve got to know

the pc1's i ve played feel nothing like a strathead charvel neck...but i search out very specific ones...all of mine that i've owned have been 1 3/4" at the nut and very thin...almost like ibanez thin...probably where ibanez got the idea...d.m.
