  • Getting a Legend

    Hey, just put down some cash for a MINT Legend. She looks Virtually unplayed. I can't believe this find. The neck plate Says Made is USA but Im told they were Japanese made.



    similar to these except they were from texas.

      The neck plate on the Legend does not say "Made in USA".
      Read it closely.
      You will not find the words "Made in" on the neck plate anywhere.

      Any Charvel with a FT. Worth, Texas address on the neck plate was made in Japan.

                    nah, not drama so much as just coercing. it only took like two weeks of working the wife to get my way.
