CX391 strat headstock?

[mab8485]

I thought they only came with that crappy looking headstock. This one has a strat head.

Interesting, Heres mine with the "crappy looking" Headstock.



Its probably some sort of export only thing as the guitar is in Australia. my 650xl was an export only that I got from Au and it didnt conform to the "rules" either.

Where is Vic? He has one of these in red w/strat headstock. They made some, but not for the US.

Very early CX series had the strat headstock. Then they went to the eagle-beak, however I think some overseas-only renditions retained the strathead. Just like the one in the auction. (in Austrailia)

I remember seeing one like that with the strat hs at GC years ago (like '99-2000) used. They wanted 350.00 for it. Advertised it as a Charvel superstrat.

HI guys, I'm new here. (Obviously I was the guy that won that auction). I was wondering If you could tell me a couple of things about this particular model.

1. It looks like a 11 screw pg, Will a standard Fender PG fit?

2. Are these specs right?

Re: CX391 strat headstock?

they look about right to me. I'm not certain on the pups but I'd say that looks about right. Not sure on the pickgaurd, if you seek a direct fit replacement, you'll likely have to wait on it showing up to fit one.

Re: CX391 strat headstock?

I just placed a fender guard over my guitar and its close. It seems to be the same at the top and the lower horn but where the knobs are the charvel is fatter. A fender guard looks like it will line up but I dont know if it will completely cover the rout by the knobs. Im also unsure about the neck pocket. And I also just noticed that this neck has no scarf joint and is a solid piece of maple from tip to tip.

Re: CX391 strat headstock?

Thanks guys, I 'll just buy a blank and copy the existing shape onto it.

Re: CX391 strat headstock?

Has anybody ever seen a model with that headstock, but with an older style logo (guitar shaped), and no model name?

Re: CX391 strat headstock?

yes I had one about 3yrs ago. The person I bought it from lived in China. Mine was also red. It kinda felt like a cheap guitar.

Looking in the Gallery you will find my CX291 Strathead.



There's a whole bunch like this in Australia, you just have to wait for them to appear. For the price I couldn't resist, though she is in a state of slow upgrade to better pickups and a new pickguard, then she will rock (as long as I leave the trem bar off, lol).
