  • Model 5A Has Landed!

    Here's my latest acquisition, for your viewing pleasure. A Charvel Model 5A in a beautiful Metallic White. It has yellowed quite a bit (more than the pics show), which kinda makes it glow, more like Pearl White (which I love). I needed another guitar like a hole in the head, but with 1H (my favorite pickup, too - a DiMarzio Evolution), neck-through, and a locking trem, how could I resist?

    This is VERY close to what I would order from the Jackson Custom Shop if I had the cash - about all I would change would be: direct-mounted pickup, no switch (move the coil tap to the volume knob), ebony fretboard, and a thinner, oiled neck, with the last 4 frets scalloped. Get a gander now, before I start shaving the neck and bringing this beauty even closer to those specs. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

                Beautiful, I used to have one just like it without the coil tap.

                  Nice! I had one in Black Cherry that I added a push/pull pot with a DiMarzio X2N. It was too bright in that guitar, so I put the J95 back in and it sounded great with the coil tap. Those things rock if you're into the whole 1 humbucker deal.
                  I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                        Nice 5A! Damn shame somebody drilled it for a tap - the push/pull pot is the wat to go on that deal, IMHO. Gotta love the single hum neckthru in white - tidy! Congrats!
