  • What do you guys make of this?





    seller claims that it's MIJ, bought new, about 6 months ago. which is total bullcrap, because of ... well, we all know what charvel does nowadays.
    i'm saying refinished parts mutt.

    Maybe it was new, like some sort of parts surplus, but I would guess mutt, because Charvel certainly isn't making those, and it's NOT a custom shop.
    I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

      There was a run of Japanese-only Stratheads not too long ago. Can't recall of they were Dinkys or not.

        Wrong. It was made in Japan for the Japanese market.

            Looks legit to me.
            Remember, stratheads have been available in the Japanese market for ever.
            They are just not sold or marketed here.

              Yea, I guess I should stay out of Charvel stuff, I have never even played a charvel. :idea:

                Not sure if they used the inline headstock logo on the Japanese market line. Here's another thread about one with the 3+3 logo.

                    They used the 3x3 logo on a lot of the Japanese market stuff. This is a shot of the headstock of a Japanese market neck I bought a while ago and used on a project build..

                      I had an import Charvel Star (from 99 I think - found an old MF page through Yahoo at the time where they had them listed) and it had the 3x3 logo on a pointyhead.

                        Have you ever actually SEEN a charvel? :think:

                            I'm pretty sure the 2002 Import run also had the 3x3 logo. So folks making decisions at Charvel are blurring the lines.

                            They need to consult us before they make any more moves.
