  • 475's

    Any opinions on the 475? What's the difference between the 375? I have a 375 that I've hacked (there's pics' floating around) and I really enjoy it. The local shop has a 475 that doesn't seem unreasonable in price (not sure if I can say how much(rules). I know ultimaltley it comes down to playability and if I like it but I don't want to overpay for something I would probably mod. Probably by filling in the two single coils and repainting. There is something about that toothpaste logo that screams cheesy to me and it's hard to get by that. no offense.

    Possibly my favorite Charvel Import.
    The necks are substantial, yet still thin, if that makes sense.
    Active electronics, well you either dig that, or don't (I do).
    I thought the toothpast logo was ghey for a long long time, but quickly learned to seek them out now... just because of how sweet they play.
    There seems to be something about the Charvels of that era... something extra.
    I know they upgraded the trems to the German Schallers, but there is something else.
    Extra mojo perhaps hidden in the control route in back?

    Buy it, dig it, become one with it!

      -375: 2-J100 Single Coils, 1 J90C Humbucker
      475 DLX has the JE1200 - 6db Mid Boost Active Preamp
      475 DLX has a couple more color options.

        The pickups in the 375 are cooler IMO: High output humbucker and real singlecoils.
        The 475 has a nice pup/preamp package, but it's too tame for my taste. I had the same config in my M6.

          Skully, it all comes down to the price. I personally adore my 475's, and would never alter them. However, if I came across one already modded at a decent price (read: cheap as F^*&) , then it's open season

            Is it okay to say what there asking for it?

              I can't see it being a problem. I am new though... You are just seeking advice, not like you are posting it for sale.

                don't knock the toothpaste logo. A very bad man used to play one..

                Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

                    At that price (provided its in good shape), I would buy it and not think twice.
