Musikraft San Dimas replica

Re: Musikraft San Dimas replica

I walked into a store in Tacoma, WA one day and there was an VHII Charvel hanging on the wall. It was obviously not the real deal - but had I not spent the last couple years around here I might have been taken for a ride. The guitar played and sounded fantastic and looked absolutely badass. I'm pretty sure it was a Warmoth but it was fantastic.

You are describing one or two over a several year span, yet talking as if every guitar with a Charvel logo put on it is going to end up as a potential fraud.
I've done as much buying and selling in that market as anybody, and I'm not seeing the numbers you guys are hinting at.
The sky is NOT falling.

Fender - Jackson - Charvel Should own this market but they do not understand it. Tekky, if you do not see the building and repros that are everywhere as a result of "Fenders" marketing decicions than you are also missing the point. Thet choose to offer a few guitars out at very high prices instead of hitting the price point correctly. They are very capable of doing this right. I do not want to debate liscensing law and expenses or in any way change the focus of my statement to an overlaping point. These guys can do it and choose not to. They choose not to sell us or allow the sale of Charvel parts. I can not even consider any response defending that stratgey and than asking us why people build repros as logical.

Maybe the market is too small for profit? OK, than leave these guys alone and let them build their guitars.

Well 1st off where have you been? They are moving forward .. just not fast enough for a select few ..IE PC-1 stratheads ...

I think they well understand it and I think they have used this forum at times as a springboard to understand it ..

As far as repro parts what are you referring too? Necks specifically? Or trems and knobs etc ..

Anyway, to get back on topic, I think this post sums it up very well.

Re: Musikraft San Dimas replica

I have solved the problem. If you want to put the Charvel name on a mutt then make a Charvel logo that states it is a fake in very small lettering below "Charvel"
Charvel
fake
Or just have a logo made where Charvel is misspelled. For instance, Charvell
This way you would have the logo you want and others would know it is a fake.

+2 Back when I built my strat(long gone now) I wanted one of those but couldn't find it. I recently saw a "Fecker partsocaster with bastardized tremelo" logo on ebay though. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Musikraft San Dimas replica
