A couple of Charvel Jake clips

Even though I built my own Jake guitar years ago with the SDS-1's and Allan Holdsworth JB, a local JEL Charvel that's listed for 1K has tempted me to go look at it! You still running the stock JB in it?

The 3rd Power amp sound's great Carl!:2thumbsup:

Yes, I just got it. All I did was change strings and set it up. Sweetwater did a great job on the Plek and TUSQ Nut.
 
Sounds killer . Some West , Bruce and Laing in that first clip ?
 
Very nice !

Carl, did you consider the USA model? I question whether it is worth the extra $

Jake said in an interview that there is supposed to be a MIM version of the blue burst. I’d like to have both

I would have loved to get the USA model. At this time there weren’t many available.
After I saw Count Dracula’s (Yuge Velveeta) recent demo of the MIM, I figured I’d get one from Sweetwater. I had it plek’d and had them replace the plastic nut with a TUSQ one.

I love the blue USA model, but taking off the neck on a 3k guitar, to adjust the truss rod is a deal breaker.

I am with you regarding the truss rod adjustment (and the Count's video). I'm all in on the blue MIM version assuming it comes to fruition and has a truss rod wheel
