Didn’t ever plan on selling this one, but I’m moving, downsizing and gotta recoup cash. This one and the 1984 San Dimas (I’m also selling) have been the last 2 Charvel’s I’ve kept of the 10 I’ve had (7 custom shops, 3 vintage). Of all the Charvel’s I’ve had (including the 2 other aged Nitro’s) this one has to me the sleekest playing neck and most complex/nuanced tone. The music zoo had it spec’d at 6.5 lbs on their website. On my scale it came in at 6.8 lbs, but either way it feels very light. It will be priced lower though than other aged nitros for a few reasons, some of which in my opinion are upgrades. 1) I got rid of the stock Dimarzio’s (since I think those pickups sound awful) and have in them now Scott’s Tone Nerd Roxy in the bridge with his matching neck pickup with an Alnico II magnet. They sound great in it. 2) There is wear in the bridge pickup cavity (although the pickup and ring totally cover it, but I have pics of it here to show it). I had a pickup in there that was a very tight fit, causing that wear. 3) There’s that little area around the truss rod, which gives easier access to it, but I don’t think it came that way. Finally the screws in the pickup rings are replacements in silver rather than the stock black ones
