Another Musikraft build (Blood Splatter Charvel)

[Anonymous]

Here is a new build I just had done. Great assembly job by Joel at Grant Guitars in Fountain Valley, CA. Any, this is a Jamerson (division of Musikraft) Charvel clone body that was already painted in this graphic and a Jamerson Neck. The neck is old Charvel profile made out of really nice flame maple with a striped Ebony fretboard. Original Floyd Rose, EVH Dtuna, Tremol-NO, Schaller mini locking tuners and a Seymour Duncan Custom 5 pickup. Plays real nice...

Very cool Steve! How are those Tremol-No's? I have a D-Tuna here I want to install but I don't want to permanently block the Floyd.

Thanks man! The Tremol-No is a very cool unit and it works great with the D-tuna. The only complaint I have with the Tremol-No is a slight buzz you hear when playing the guitar unamplified. It can be annoying to some, but to me it is not that big a deal and it completely disappears and does not affect tone when playing through an amp...

Do you have another blood spatter guitar similar to this, I thought I saw similar pics in the past but maybe my memory is failing me

Tremol-NO FTW

I had an old pointy Charvel with that graphic (although that one was more drip than splatter), but I sold it long ago...

If you are willing to put it together yourself about $1000 or so...

Not too bad, those necks look awesome though, what kind of shape is it?

Thanks man! There are three modes of the Tremol-No:

1) Completely locked - basically fixed bridge mode - won't move up or down
2) Down only - like a blocked Floyd trem - only dive bombs down - can't pull up
3) Free Floating - trem moves up and down

You can move between modes with just a couple of quick twists on the black adjustment thingys on the back of the Tremol-No...

Thanks Steve. That body looks great, I saw it on ebay when they were auctioning it off. I may do one like that later, except black & blood. I just got my new Musikraft maple neck in last week with no body yet, so we'll see.

Cool - Look forward to seeing what you put together...

You got it. I have one being done now, the other will start after. Even though the parts are reasonable, I still have them put together professionally, meaning not by me

Same here man - I am just no good at getting the neck and body together and angled right. Everything else I can easily do myself, but why bother...

Looks great Steve! I love their necks. Great stuff. I'm gonna build another in a little bit.

That looks great Steve!

Even slim C................how does that translate to say Lee Garver's profile? I call Lee's Charvel profile as more of a D type, perhaps almost flat at the skunk stripe.

did you get an angled neck pocket?

It just reminds me of an old Charvel pretty much...

I saw this guitar in person. I have NEVER seen a neck with as interesting of a pattern on the fingerboard. The pics don't really show it all. It is just stunning.

I can't wait to check out the guitar Steve.

Steve

where the back plate meets the body, they grind the bodywood in on an angle (thinner on the treble side) on about a 45 deg.? to make it easier for the heel of your hand when getting access when playing above the 12th.... like an early 90s Iby???....
If I remember correctly?.....

Im gonna be the dik an say cosmetically, as much as I am insanely jealous right now, I dunno if I can stand a white body without a maple board.... Then again, many of my guitars sound like shit and yours dont, so WTF do I know??!?
It's very Metal, and again, I say, I am jealous.... and... I hate you.
