NGD. It’s pink and it rocks.

I’ve been wanting a hh style guitar for awhile now. I’ve tried pretty much everything there is from Squier to Gibson to PRS and these Charvels kinda spoke to me. I normally play a regular Strat and Tele, so I guess it’s kinda natural.

It feels way different than a normal Strat though, sounds way different also. I’m still getting used to it. It needs a set up in a bad way, I’m getting some string buzz from the bridge and I have absolutely no idea about these bridges.

it’s also kinda of on the heavy side at 8.5 lbs but I think that’ll be ok. I’ll adjust.

Interesting

Things have truly gone full circle. The Charvel-revised-and-updated take on a Fender double fat strat with Floyd...is now made by a Fender factory.


Are the lines and contours 100% Fender or somewhat different?

I believe that it’s 100% Fender, except for the neck profile. It’s wider and thinner than any Fender neck I’ve felt. It’s very comfy and fast. It has the rounded edges and no fret sprout.

Happy NGD @Timmy51

Charvel is pumping out some very good value instruments. Also has a flatter fretboard radius for shredding. Great color too!

My only comparable guitar is an 80s Charvette. Got it in a trade for a Les Paul Studio husk project I never got around to finishing. It's a cool guitar and it fills a purpose in my collection, but I don't play it very much.

Nice! I like "different" color guitars, be it pink or purple or a blue burst or some odd combination, etc.

Snoopy looks like he really couldn't care less though.

What makes these things hideous isn't necessarily the paint job, but basically everything else;

• The white trim makes everything look cheap.
• Gold knobs? Yeah, real nice...
• Oh, and isn't that bright orange fretboard just lovely? lol

As far as the blue burst, I actually like it, although with the top one, blue and green don't exactly go together real good.

 

[MarshallDog]

Congrats on your new guitar, I like the pink! What made go with pink??

I have 2 guitars with Charvel on the headstock, both are mutts...
The Blue quilted is a 2010 MIJ neck with a 1991 375dlx body.
Great neck, great guitar. Its kind of odd, has the quilted maple on the front and the back.
You don't see it often on the back.
The knobs are black now.

Then I have this that I got for very little, Kramer body, USA San Dimas neck. Both around 1985.
I went to look at it and the man just kept lowering the price.
I even pointed out the neck said Made in USA and it might be valuable.
He lowered the price again said he just wanted me to be happy and satisfied.
Well I am.

Well I've got a 2016 quilted 'Blue Burst' HT San Dimas and I love it.
The pickup switching combinations are fantastic.
The burst is really dark though, so not 'In your face'.

Thanks Ric I happen to have the second one [url=https://postimg.cc/QB4yGzD5][/URL]
It has a chip in the finish, that knocked the price down considerably, and I put a JB in the bridge.
Cheers
