Winter NAMM 2013

The Pro Mods look like..........Pro Mods (besides the recessed floyds). Nice that they have some hardtails in there and some different colors. Any ideas if the hardtails or other colors will be regular production models or limited editions like the Wildcards?

Today I shot some stuff at the GJ2 booth as well as a couple more custom shop Charvels which hadn't made it out yet yesterday. I'm not really into Schecters but I did shoot some of their custom shop stuff today. I didn't see any true Strat heads at Schecter. I also have a bunch of ESP pix. I'll try to post some of this stuff later for you guys but I'm having a hard time uploading from here.

I cant open the Facebook link for the pics? I waited all day at work to get home and check out these pics.

Hmm, I don't know why they wouldn't work for you. Then again, I'm no Facebook expert as the most use I get out of it all year long is somewhere to upload lots of pix from NAMM I do know I have those photo albums set to public so i would think anyone can view them. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable about Facebook can help you out. The links work for me when I click them on here.

Facebook links worked for me, but you do need to be logged in first.

GJ2 pix are up on Facebook. Here is the link to those:

Awesome photos Rudy!

Yes.

Bummer. This is the first time I ever wished I was on facebook...

Rudy, thanks so much for the photos. Awesome stuff.

Very excited about the USA custom select option. Going to be ordering some of that soon! And some of the examples shown were sweet. The pink Soloist, white Kelly. Great stuff. Also absolutely loved that bound, dot neck Soloist. Yum.

Does anyone know if the burst finishes are available on the ProMod SoCals, too?

Hi guys. I wanted to post this info last night, but didn't have time.

I talked to McG at the Charvel booth and asked him a ton of questions about the Pro Mods. Let me just start by saying that McG is a super cool dude. Very friendly and willing to chat. So we all know that they are made in Mexico now. He said that the USA Charvel guys went down to Mexico and trained the workers on how to make a Charvel. In fact, in the Mexico factory, they have their own area that is only used for Charvel/Jackson/EVH stuff. Those machines are not used for any Fender stuff. The build quality is extremely good. Yep, recessed trems. Also, the tuning pegs are back to the normal size/shape. The neck plate looks the same, except it says Made in Mexico instead of Japan. The headstock does not say Made in Mexico.

The hard tails are regular production models. They only come with rosewood fretboards and H/S pickup config. The So-Cals now have Duncan pickups. Those trans finishes are regular production colors. And the cool news... there will be Wild Cards! All the guitars displayed at the booth are NOT wild cards, so who knows what we could see coming out.

I think he mentioned April as a date for these coming out. Also, for those that care, there were in fact classic striped EVH strat guitars with the EVH logo on the strathead as we saw in the screenshot. Those are up the EVH section, which is next to Jackson upstairs.
