Charvel Satchel sig w/ebony board

[MYLILSS]

Stuck an ebony board neck I have from another charvel on my satchel sig, just to see what it looks like. Whatcha think ?

Looks killer! How does it sound now? Is it for the better or the worse?

thanks ! I wont lie, I always liked the maple neck on these, but having the other one there with the ebony board got me to thinking. I had to swap them and see what it looked like. I am happy with the results for sure.

honestly, I cant say that I hear all that much of a difference. There may be a little more attack or presence, but it is fractional at best, and to be honest I may be making it all up in my mind. I switched out the original fluence classic pickups when I got it for an EMG 81/60 combo since I play more modern styles of music, and they don't really react much to different tone woods in my experience, so that could be playing a part in why the tone doesn't seem to be all that different

Excellent. Are you staying with the ebony or going back to the original maple?

I really dig the looks of the ebony board on this guitar so I am more than likely going to keep it this way. I may switch out the black hardware for some chrome, but I go back and fourth on that. the Floyd and lock nut that are on it have already been upgraded to German parts, so I really don't have any need aside from aesthetics. I do love the black and yellow theme that's going on now though so its a tough call.

Oh man for what it's worth, I say leave it as is. Black hardware with ebony board. That's the winning combo right there.

whoa! looks great like that! I'm a big fan of ebony fretboards myself.

 

[stratjacket]

Looks killer. Can imagine what a matching headstock would look like.
