Re: Custom shop prices

Outrageous is probably pushing it a bit, but yeah they're not cheap (my 2 orders are both over $3000)....

No stratheads at the moment, but in 2006, who knows?

Re: Custom shop prices

Could you get a soloist with a bolt on neck?

Re: Custom shop prices

He MIGHT be able to get a strathead being in Australia. Remember Toby's Hot Rod Flame strathead Charvel?....That was a strathead from the custom shop, and the only reason he was able to get it was because he was from Australia as well.

Re: Custom shop prices

That'd basically be a dinky....still no strathead though.

Re: Custom shop prices

Is a dinky just a soloist with a bolt on neck?
I like bolt ons because if the neck breaks you can put a new one, maore security.

Re: Custom shop prices

Hey, Tiger90, use the online dealers, rather than aussie shops. They won't rip you off, at least. The guitars in Australia are like 30% more expensive than in US, adjusted for exchange rates. I think, it's a simple rip-off.

Re: Custom shop prices

Here is what I was talking about ...Toby's CS Charvel WITH a strathead. And I was wrong, he's from Switzerland, but I am pretty sure that you CAN order a strathead from outside the US. For some reason I think that the patent or whatever only holds true within our borders.

Yeah i know there a ripoff here but I Know the fellas at the shop and they give me a real good deal.

Re: Custom shop prices

wow. I'm not a huge fan of stratheads, neither of rosewood-dot-boards and I don't really dig gold hardware, but this one looks just great... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
anyone got an explanation?

Re: Custom shop prices

That is a great looking guitar BUT: I seem to remember there were quite alot of politics around that guitar as it was ordered before the FMIC takeover, and delivered after. From what I recall, there was some doubt about J/C completing the order: It was only permitted because the guitar was leaving the USA, but my understanding is from that point on, no customer ordered stratheads would be permitted, wherever you are....

Oh, I stand corrected then. Thanks for setting me straight.

Re: Custom shop prices

You may also want to check out a PC1, since they now come with a strathead. More beefy neck than a Dinky, but very nice.
