New Charvel Pro-Mod Series

I love chocolate chip.

The wild card looks like it is non-recessed trem. If so it is what i was looking for

Looks recessed to me...

I wonder what the neck plate says? That'll be one sure way of telling them apart from the USA's besides the "made in Japan" on the headstock.

I'd like to get one of the cases for my So Cal. I called my dealer today to see if they can order the cases separately but he didn't know yet.

I'm personally digging the wildcard and also like the matching logo.

Sorry, but I don't see anything in this line up to get excited about. I sure hope the folks at Charvel have something else to offer?

chrisolson, I want to send you a cookie.

[Mazz]

Well said Chris.

I can't get over how unremarkable these are. POS

Have you had your hands on one yet? POS? Really? Sounds like you might just be talking out of your...rather biased mouth.

But the profit margin sure looks better!!

Isn't that the idea? Stay in business by making money? That's how companies continue to make goods last time I checked.

Even more, further deface the Charvel name by "Crafting" these POS in Japan, have I gone back in time in some sort of time machine?
Haven't we gone through this before and soon thereafter Charvel dissapeared.

Funny...for a number of years, people were clamoring over the old Model Series and singing praises about how great they were, and that was just a few years after you'd be lucky to get $250 out of them. I'm gonna bet that since there are plenty Fenders to be built that not a lot of Charvel guys lost jobs. If any. Yeah it sucks that they're made overseas, but maybe there's something else on the horizon for Charvel. I'm going to bet that since they were made in Cali at the prices they were offered at, Charvel was probably not making a killing on them. Maybe they'll actually make MORE money by offering a similar (if not ...gasp... BETTER) quality instrument from Japan. Nobody bitches about the MIJ Jacksons other than the trem.

I'm also going to bet that CNC in Japan is probably on par with CNC in the US.

Geez...sour grapes.

[chrisolson]

So, same price as the US Pro Mods?

$899 w/case is what I'm seeing.

I can't get over how unremarkable these are. POS

On top of that, in the worst economic crisis of our time FMIC sends bread & butter to freaking Japan. How many lost jobs at Corona?
WTF knows.
But the profit margin sure looks better!! somebody is stroking somebody at Scottsdale!! Good job!

How, un-imaginative. How, predictable. How, bland. Totally anti-climactic.

Sarcasm FTW? :think:

[fullmetalguitar]

I really like the looks of the white SD1 with the chrome and direct mount pups. I'd get one if it had a vintage style trem.

[The Rossness]

Where is the Surfcaster?

[Mazz]

I'm just after the snow White SoCal

[rgx]

The
wild card and the so-cal white must be on my room one day. Dammed 2 more guitars I can't let go

Same here
