If I remember correctly, the thought of the Heineken Charvel was discussed as a possible #3.

Why that though, who's design was that? Was that based of Jeff Hanneman's?

Yep. If we could have got the okay on the headstock and the use of the heineken logo, it would have happened.

in a nutshell, it was the first graphic'ed, plated, serial numbered charvel.

Whose design was it?!? It was the first serialized Charvel.
Jeff Hanneman's guitar with that graphic is an ESP and didn't come until many, many years later, but his says "Hanneman" and not Heineken.

Gotta say, through my research, such things really aren't that hard to obtain.

So it's a go ahead on JCF03 ?

USA Charvel with Heineken graphic.

Maybe not, but man, at that time and after all of the 02 noise, starting such an uphill battle was like climbing everest with no arms or legs. We probably would have had better luck getting the graphic approved than the headstock.

And then there was the graphic issue itself; that was a $1200 graphic at GMW, and from what I recall, Dan wasn't too hip to doing 30 of those. There was even talk of screening it on there, but that would have been shot down quickly.

True. My research is in regards to a one-off. So I guess it doesn't fully apply.

[Mazz]

Thanks, son!

No Problem!

anyway just because I'm one of the youngest doesn't give you the right to call me th...... oh wait... yes it does....

From there it all snowballed as Donnie Wade tried to protect Lloyd and said that we had to do the JCF Series through GuitarXpress only. As you can imagine, the Admins were not going to put up with that shit as we had decided to give JCF02 to Matt.

From there, things got worse, Donnie became a jerk and yanked out exclusive JCF serial numbers and at that point the series was dead.

Don't worry guys, I kicked Donnie's ass for that, too!

And I got the pic to prove it this time:

I know some things went sour with dealers like Kevin Easton and Lloyd and the JCF, but I have to say that back then I bought a few Jacksons from both of them and always had good dealings with them. In fact I've kept in touch with Lloyd by calling every now and then just to say hi. Lloyd was the dealer who helped make my 007 Soloist a reality through two long years after Fender bought Jackson and I'm forever greatful for that. He also took a bunch of us JCFers on a tour of the Ontario Custom Shop during NAMM 2003. Since then we've got more great dealers like Matt from Matt's Music, VWall, and Matt from OnlineStageGear. I've bought through all them in the past and always had great dealings with them too. I'm glad the JCF has been able to put us in touch with such Jackson/Charvel dealers

[Jayster]

I'm gonna bump, just for the level of class Rudy has ;

[STLKINGV]

Yup, I still own and gig out with JCF 02 09 every week!! That said, she is used and not minty fresh!

Thanks again to all that made my dream guitar possible. You guys are Ace in my book!!

All the best,
