Charvel Toothpaste Logo

[Tekky]

Yes, the script logo can be done in the custom shop. Someone not too long ago had one put on a Criss Oliva replica.

Criss Oliva Replica..??

I must investigate.

[Tekky]

Yeah, someone did one a couple years back. And Bill... I've been bugging the Charvel guys every NAMM to build a series. As of late, I've been told it is in the hands of the family. So I reached out to a contact of mine. Let's cross our fingers and toes to see if it does any good!

For most people who are aware of these things, the guitar logo = USA Charvel glory days, and toothpaste logo = last days of the good Charvel imports. Personally, I've never felt that font looked as good for Charvel as it does for Jackson, though the toothpaste-era ones are a great bargain, since they're typically cheap and come with good trems etc.

Concur in all regards.

This would most likely result in my first ever CS purchase

I guess I'm in the minority here because I like the toothpaste logo. That was one reason I saved my Model 275 from the pawnshop in the first place.

I like the script logo myself. Though it did bring Charvels closer to Jacksons since the logos are done the same way.

I think the toothpaste logo rocks hard!!!

If I ever have the $$$ to get a CS I would get the Charvel Toothpaste logo but in the size of the traditional Jackson logo.

I have an 89-91 275 with a toothpaste logo. Other than the floyd 2, basswood body, no shims for the locking nut, no string retainer, the electronics it came with, its alright. So the neck and the frets are what I have to work with now :P. (I dont mind basswood that much, I just need a dime bucker or a Lynch Screaming Demon to keep all the treble)

WTF???

Anyway, interesting thead. I also have a 275? neck in great shape. Thought of replacing the logo, but maybe not. The nice thing about the "toothpaste" years is no more string lock.

Toothpaste charvels kick ass.

[tomanyjacksons]

Ditto.

Toothpaste charvels kick ass.

My first Charvel was a toothpaste logo 475 Deluxe- Black with silver desert crackle- Bought it new in 1989 I think it was....That thing was built like a tank. Really well built and lasted me many years. (Didnt care for the active PUPS though)

Asking for a toothpaste Charvel logo on a new custom build is like asking for a Katy Perry replica with A-cups.
