Anyone tried the white Joe Duplantier Charvel yet?

Anyone?? I'm interested in this Tele shape by Joe and Charvel. My major concern is the Duncan Designed pickups but for the price I can see swapping them out if the guitar is awesome otherwise.

Just seems like a solid rock Charvel otherwise for the style I play. If the Duncan Designed pickups are good then that is even better and makes it a great deal pricewise.

Isn't there Mexican one's and USA one's? I'm sure there's a HUGE price difference.

Yeah, there's a $2400 model and a $600 model, the latter of which has the Duncan Designed pickups.

swapping out pickups is easy. looks like a sweet guitar.

Link or pics please

Edit- I googled it . Charnel is making a MIM Tele shape with hard tail bridge that comes loaded with Duncans that are going for $899 new

from the reverb pics, it looks like the cheaper one is made in Indonesia

I've played the cheaper one and it was fantastic. Sounded great.

Plenty of differences that lead tot he low price. Wood is different, nato on the cheap vs. mahogany on the usa. Plastic vs. tusq nut, etc. cheap tuners etc. If QC is any good seems like an ok deal for what you get though.

I really enjoyed this video of him talking about the guitar.

I love Gojira! I might have to get me one of these.

It's definitely a cheaper model Charvel with the nato wood, made in Indonesia, etc.. but for the price it seems pretty solid and looks killer IMO with the matte white finish, black binding and black hardware on the Tele shape. I might go for one here in a while. Kind of putting it off for the moment though.
