    Charvel Socal using Blackbelts from Motorcity pickups.

    Johnny, good deal on the pickups and re-tweak. glad it worked out for you! I believe Kiko Loureiro of Angra uses that pickup. Great guitar player. i have never tried it. ;) Nice collection of Charvels there and if i dont see ya, have a good show! Mark

    Charvel Socal using Blackbelts from Motorcity pickups.

    Thanks! I talked with someone at Charvel about future production of these guitars and he said it was because of the Tsunami that they stopped production. He did say that they would be back by then end of the year put probably made in Korea or Indonesia at that point. Mark

    Charvel Socal using Blackbelts from Motorcity pickups.

    Hey Johnny, My first one was a Japanese San Dimas (couldn't stand how high the strings were from the body) and my second one is a USA Socal. To me they both had the same unwanted tone. i see these guitars for what they are and try not to get anything out of them other than what they offer. ;)...

    Charvel Socal using Blackbelts from Motorcity pickups.

    Your assessment of these guitars is right on. Hollow midrangy... Play real hard down at the first few frets and it just sounds weird to me. Not my favorite guitar by any stretch. For this guitar I would use a scooped pickup like a paf. something like a super distortion isn't the best choice...

    50w Marshall clone build clip (On Fire)

    I'll admit i should learn more of the song but I wanted to hear my latest 50w Mod5 build in context. ;) I don't have this ISO track so I used the right side of the track only (Edward removed) SoundClick artist: rockstah plexi tweaks and mods - page with MP3 music downloads Mark
