Incredibly cool old Charvel pics...

I just don't get it I see nothing special in these guitars for the amount of money that would have to be spent on one

go ahead...bash away

Hey, that's why there are other guitar builders to satisfy you. Not everyone is gonna "get it" because "it" is just not for them. There are things I don't dig that other people love. I just don't feel the need to comment on it.

Curt,

I am sorry you have been locked out of executive bathroom that serves the Fender execs that pedal such fine things such as bar stools, coasters, and neon lights many men place in their mancaves. They have important historic replicas to create for the Zoo that have period correct woods such as mahogany, pine, and redwood........................Fender knows their customer base. I saw a man several weeks ago during my weekly dive jam at Cyprus Grill wearing really cool fender chucks and a strat that I believe was caught in a wood chipper, or the gentleman really played that guitar hard for 248 years. I guess his body was real old growth by now? He did not call me a Baird Man for the slime green Charvel I carried in but enjoyed the 77 super lead I had until he saw the ppmiv I had installed. He uttered some religious phrase and continued to wipe down his 1767 strat.

Why anyone that has read this forum not go to you for their custom shop Charvel puzzles me, I would wax your overrated Beetle for a year for the honor of you taking my order for a CS Charvel. Oh yeah you now knee at the alter of the Bavarian Manure Wagon. Well I can wax that as well for your expert point of view.

Hope all is well with your family and that piss stained wall next to your fine store,

Scotty

That was absolutely positively entertaining.

I've seen that, VERY cool axe !!! But I don't mind the Millenium headstock shape, and I LOVE the dual stacked HRF graphic on the blue marble base...I have a Wayne replacement strat head birdseye maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard and Sperzels on it already and a non fine tuning Floyd...and I just ordered 2 Duncan Customs (one zebra, one reverse zebra) so I can make a double cream Custom for it since Duncan won't do it anymore.

Look forward to seeing your guitar! Lee works fast too!

Steve

Fast is a relative term here, I agree that 5 or 6 months IS fast compared to 2 years for Charvel, but when you want it NOW even 5 months is an eternity ! lol

Those are just so sexy. I never knew of the allure Charvel possessed until I got one. Now I'm on a tear with 4 added this year. I don't get the crazy prices for Suhr guitars but people must love them. I found what I was looking for in Charvel. I just got 2 old ones this week. I will post pics this weekend when I get a chance to take some. For the record, I can't believe there is a more comfortable neck anywhere than a broken in Charvel

I was actually lucky enough to get to pull this one out of the case and drool over it a few years ago while at Dimebag's house. Darrell's original Charvel he played briefly in the "All over Tonight" video. Oddly enough it was one of the few guitars Darrell kept that didn't have a Floyd rose! LOL.

Here is the video with that guitar around the 2:40 mark

Green for the win!! ...although that full shot of the green looks photoshopped. Look at the low E by the headstock and fret board.

I love mine.

That's killer...what is the pick up combo ?

^ I have a radiation green metallic Carvin Bolt , the colors look like a perfect match . Love that color .

Suhr SSH+ in the bridge and a Manlius custom hot neck pickup with an Alnico 5 magnet.

wanted to chime in on these... the reason there is so much rosewood behind the nut is most likely these are boogie bodies necks and it was their common practice to have this large piece of the fingerboard wood behind the nut. you can also note aside from the smaller logo, the logo is also horizontal, as opposed to following the contour of the headstock like later larger logos.
