Dude, were you sleeping? You been hangin with Bin Laden all this time? [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Fender's official answer was "Not no, but HELL NO!"

They do, however, offer several new and overpriced solid-topped Strats in familiar SD Charvel configurations, such as single-hum and v-trem.

Re: Custom Shop Question

I was wondering, I have not really seen an exact answer concerning the custom shop. It would be nice to know since I'm looking to have a custom shop guitar made and I'd like to know if that is an option now .

Any inforamtion would be great..

Thanks dude's

Re: Custom Shop Question

As I said, Satch, the answer is no. They won't do it.

Re: Custom Shop Question

Fender rep McD stated on this board that there can be no Strathead Charvels. If you are tight with someone at the Ontario shop, they can probably sneak one under the radar but it is not an option any longer.

And no I was not referring to the import Charvels. Fender has a single-hum v-trem Strat with rear-loaded electronics. All it needs is your favorite RATT or VH graphic and it's 1983.
And they start at $2300.

Re: Custom Shop Question

I thought the "they" you were referring to was Jackson, not Fender. Now I get it.

IMHO, comparing those Fender Strats to a SD Charvel is bit of a stretch, though. The similarities probably don't go much farther than "look".

Re: Custom Shop Question

I just herd From McD and yeah your right I figured it would be no but what the hell.

Re: Custom Shop Question

For some of us who like the Stat-head look with a Charvel logo, it is a total bummer.

But I see Fender's point. There is a reason why we call them "Strat heads".

Re: Custom Shop Question

You are exactly Right .. but Now it should be offered they would make a ton of loot and make alot of us happy. Oh Well

Re: Custom Shop Question

I agree totally!! Too bad they weren't known as "Charvel heads". [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Custom Shop Question

I asked Tim Wilson about that. He replied: "No one at Fender has made a decision to offer Strat head Charvels, to my knowledge, at this point."
