Hi,
I'm new here and I recently got myself a Charvel Model 1C off ebay (for £200, bargain!). Anyway, I love it, the neck is perfect for me and it looks great.
The only thing I dont like about it is the pickups. According to some scans I found, the pickups are J100 singles and a J90C humbucker. The J90C isnt too bad but doesnt have loads of harmonics or a very rich sound (even though HC reviews say otherwise). I dont like the J100s through my real amp at all, they sound way too thin/harsh/weak.. So I'm looking for some new pickups but they need to work well with the tone woods used.. only thing is I have no idea what they are
Does anyone know which woods were used in the body and neck of the Model 1C? Oh heres some pics of mine:
edit - I have an SD custom custom in my strat copy, any idea if that would sound good in the Charvel?
