Help Identifying a Charvel Model

Re: Help Identifying a Charvel Model

I wouldn't take it at face value unless it was verified by measurements or a catalog listing. In other words, don't believe everything you read. Look on eBay there's people who post a JS30 as a soloist every day.

Since you can't measure the pictures, if I told you that the two with the maple boards (same offset-dots that are being described on the previous guitars) were Fusions, you'd be more inclined to believe me. However in actuality the one in the middle is the Fusion.

I'm not ripping on you, nor am I really saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that there's no real evidence as to what it is until we can get a catalog listing or measurements from the current owners.

Well, yeah Todd the middle one's a Fusion. Look at the spacing between the pickups. [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

OK Travis, but you may be mising my point. (or trying to make a joke that I'm just not picking up on)

Take a look at one of the Dinkies and then look at this picture.

If you were to add pickup rings to the Dinkies, wouldn't you say that the pickup placement would be similar?

Can we say in all certainty that this is a Dinky? Maybe my eye isn't that good, but I couldn't unless I had a measurement of the neck scale.

Re: Help Identifying a Charvel Model

Sorry, Todd. I was making a joke. You're totally right about not being able to tell until you have the measurements in front of you. And you make a really good point with the pickup rings decreasing the space.

Tekky we now know that the trem and trem recessed route are standard on whatever these are. They both have the same route and trem.

Re: Help Identifying a Charvel Model

Sorry Travis, I lose my sense of humor when I'm trying to figure something out. These have me perplexed. I'm determined to find out what they are because these are more items to add to the MoAIP for when it goes live.


I noticed that, it's the same route that's on the Model 3DR.

You can kinda see it in this pic. (Before anyone says anything, this was taken before I set the tremolo up, so I know the Floyd is funky)

Well... now a DUMB Question
ahahaha How can i measure That ? from where to where should i measure it? here in Brazil we use Meters and you use Inches right?

Re: Help Identifying a Charvel Model

Nut to the 12th fret. Then double it. Not sure of the conversion between metric and standard.

Re: Help Identifying a Charvel Model

Hej Tekke, is there a way to get a direct replacement or fix the WEIRD Position the floyd is in my Upcoming Charvel "FUSION" ??!
i know that my current Charvel, the Fusion Deluxe is reallya fusion deluxe.
there´s a guy called DOC DRYER that know a lot about the charvels. i emailed him about this Upcoming charvel, but he didn´t replied me Yet. Let´s See.
And .. i still don´t KNWO which wood is in the body of my current charvel fusion deluxe with the rainbow crackle finish.
but all that i know is it matches very well with my seymour duncan custom custom in the bridge.
i´ll post some clip of it, if you don´t mind hearing some ripping Death~Black/Thrash metal stuff .

Doc is a member here as well.

Actually the Floyd isn't broken. It's just a cosmetic issue. The tremolo's baseplate is tapered and the backroute is sqared. What I personally would do would be to replace it with an Original Floyd Rose or a Schaller Floyd Rose.

Re: Help Identifying a Charvel Model

Holy FUCKING Bitch crap shit. ahahahahaha! Thank´s a really lot for all the help Tekky!
so... done that(replace it with schaller or OFR ) will fix the weird position of the bridge?
is there any additional ROuting or things like that that have to be done if i trade it for the OFR? or i just have to pull of the original charvel bridge and put either a OFR or a Schaller there? no need to enlarge the pivot dots cavity or something like that? sorry for confusion...

I was just trying to help [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I've never owned nor seen any of these, so I used all the info I could find and that's what I gathered... Sorry if it's not right.
Do we actually know what it is now? Could it be a mutt?

Re: Help Identifying a Charvel Model

hej pott, what is a Mutt?

[WFD666]

Re: Help Identifying a Charvel Model

Mutant guitar? frankenstein?

[Tekky]

Re: Help Identifying a Charvel Model

Again pott, i'm not tearing you apart on it. We're all learning here. I have never encountered the guitar logo'd Charvels like this. So we're all trying to identify it. I'd have to say it's a safe bet that with two of them showing up in the same week that they're not mutts.

Yes, a mutt is a frankenstein. A guitar comprised of different parts.

As far as the "weird position of the bridge" can you elaborate more?
