  • NEWBIE! Charvel Fusion restoration finished!!!!!! PIX!!!!

    Ok pics are here! I bought it 3months ago for $295 New Zealand dollars. Its a 1990 Charvel Fusion Custom. It was a little beat up, body dings, scratchs, pups were rusting, Schaller Floyd was also rusting. The neck is maple with rosewood board, pretty standard for this type of Charvel.
    It was finished in gun metal grey with matching painted head stock (white logo), it was completely stripped of all paint including the headstock. It now has a blood red Candy appled paint job with some slight airbrushed graphics as well and natural finished headstock with a new black Charvel logo, finished with gloss clear on the face only, the back of the neck is matt clear finished with 2500grit wet and dry sandpaper. Also a fret dress. The Schaller floyd was black, so i got it stripped off and fresh chrome plated over the whole thing. The pups are new Dimebucker bridge and two new HotStacks, middle/neck. Had to modify the single coil cavitys to fit the Stacks in, only way to tell is to remove them and look at the bottom left of each cavity, so it still looks stock on top.
    All new knobs, screws, switchs, wiring... basically everything!

    If anyone wants to see the "during" stages photos let me know.....

    Ok ok ok ok ok ok ok here she is!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        I like the fly, spiders freaks me out, but well done.

                      WOW

                      I hate gunmetal/charcoal grey.

                      I LOVE red! And those graphics look excellent. VERY nice work. If you're interested in doing a project for someone else - let me know how much you'd charge to do a DK2.
