So what is the Holy grail of Import Charvels?

[jim777]

My favorite is the Model 2. Simple straight up rockers!

What's the story with at Strathead neck? I wouldn't mind a maple board on my Model 2 at all

It's a (badass) mutt. That looks so cool I'd splurge for a tiger stripe or birdseye maple neck. Jumbo frets? Who made the neck and what is the price.

[Super_shredder]

+1 that looks awesome

Well I nabbed a Model 2 finally. ALl stock, rosewood fretboard. Would love to do a Maple as well but plan to keep it stock. Just need a few things to finsih it and ill be rocking soon.

That will change soon. Just buy yourself another model 2 and mod it just like you want it.

I have two of these....



So with my next model 2, I assembled/built one of these. (more mods coming soon)

I see you but OFRs on both of them. Which pups do you have in them?

yea. maple f/board was not an option on Model 2.

So you can either source a Model 4M neck ("M" for maple ), which will come with a locknut. Or a Model 1 neck, which you'll have to mod since they come with a standard nut only

a 375 deluxe was my first "real" guitar. I've since had a model 4, 7 and just got a 750xl.

the 4 is a sweet guitar, but the 750xl really is something special. If a 750xl was good enough for shawn lane, it's good enough for me

G is correct, it's a Model 4M neck.

Yes, when I get a Model series guitar with a locking tremolo, the first thing I do is replace the JT-6 with an OFR or the Schaller version. (though I try to reserve the Schallers for recessed tremolo applications)

The pickups are currently stock in all three. "I see two pictures." you say?? I've got two of the pearl white ones. They look exactly the same.

I love the J-90C in my red Model 2. it screams.

[Tekky]

I feel they're a little weak. I'm probably going to do Duncan Distortions or JBs in all of them.

My "Holy Grail" is my Red Model 3A Charvel with a Tone Zone in the bridge..it's heavier than elephant tits..Heavy..

That is exactly what I do. My Model 2 was a stock pickup and it sounds really good.I have a 3a I wanted to swap pups on. I have installed the floyd I just need to play with the J80s. If I don't like them I am going to try a Super II and a super 3 in the bridge.
