Charvel Wild Card #8 Chrome Rod Flame

[JediHalen]

Dont know if this has been discussed yet?.. Looks cool to me, but I`m not really an active pickup fan. Won`t be purchasing as I recently got myself the Wildcard 6 (which I love )

Discuss!

GUH!!!!! that thing is HIDEOUS!!!!!!!! if that is what charvel is gonna put out, they can keep it!!!!!1

[rdamaral]

I kind of like it. At least it's different.

[Predator1]

I like it except the battery box route kills it for me. EMG's no thanks, they are what has kept me form buying a DK1 all these years.

its nicer than the desolation crap

I have to agree with this, but still don't like it.

[Flatpicker]

I think it's sharp.
Nice work Charvel.

[Prince Vultan]

Meh. Not really feeling those flames, though I'd be interested to see one in the flesh.

I dig it! I don't care for the battery box, though. I don't think they're necessary on a guitar with only one hum, since you can easily fit it in the cavity, and you can go a year or so without needing to change the battery for an EMG.

[tcwil8]

I like it although I don't care for EMGs.

I'm not big on the flame job. Looks kind of amateur as far as the design. Is it ebony board on it? I couldn't see that anywhere on the site and of course Charvels website only shows desolation stuff and Wildcard #6...

Other that the flame job I could dig the guitar. Moreso if the board is ebony.

[levantin]

If that was h/s I'd be all over it.

Thanks charvel, now I'm going to get one of these-

If melted Strat bodies and dildo headstocks are your thing... go for it.

[Hellbat]

Yeah I could never wrap my head around the assymetrical Kramer body shape. It feels fine when you are playing it but when you look at it your brain is seeing something is wrong...
