Wayne Charvel

Hi guys

What do you think about Wayne Charvel superstrat? Same level as Charvel CS?

Thanks

From what I've gathered, the short version is one is built by a luthier with a long history of guitar building, the other is built by Wayne Charvel.

(I soooo hope that came out as funny as it sounded in my head...)

The slightly longer version is that they're very hit and miss.

There's an even longer version but I'll let someone else do that one.

Multiple early Wayne guitars w/same serial # is enough for me to avoid Waynes...nevermind he & his son Michaels penchant for claiming credit for original Charvels that Wayne had nothing to do with

I have an early one. Yes it has/had the same serial as another. I sent it back for warranty work and they restamped it. Based on my experience w them avoid, michael was a complete prick to deal w since the dealer dropped Wayne's line due to build issues and wouldn't help w warranty. The guitars were / are full of small flaws which their excuse was its handmade and you don't know how to maintain such a high end guitar. When it was sent back I ask if Wayne could sign it they said you have to pay for that I told them to fuck off since I had to pay to ship the damn thing. The warranty work was shity and I had a local guy fix the guitar properly. It plays great now, sounds real nice but considering the BS and $$ spent I wouldn't ever buy another and would say avoid them like the plague.

Want to read a complete work of fiction ? Read Wayne Charvel's book.

Wayne has been sour grapes about Charvel guitars forever and generally full of shit.............along with Michael who has a history shady crap, including coming out to this Forum to troll.

My early ones are awesome..no issues what so ever. No experience with recent ones though, but Mike's always been good to me
