One day Steve brought in his new Charvel custom shop to show to us. It was a pre-production style in robins egg blue color. The thing was gorgeous and it played great and sounded great. I played and played the thing. It also had a gorgeous birdseye maple neck. Thanks Steve for bringing it in and letting me play it!

Now Jay, the guy who works for me, used to have an early 80's robins egg blue Charvel. He really dug that guitar but had to sell it when he got into a tough spot financially. I showed him some pictures of Steve's Charvel on a Rig Talk thread and he was going nuts. Then Steve brought it in and was showing it to me and letting me play it. Jay stood silently by, hoping and praying that his turn would come. Hoping that a certain RT member would show some compassion and let Jay also play his new guitar. But as patiently and quietly as he stood, the offer never came. Defeated and dejected, Jay sat down and quietly contemplated whether life even had meaning anymore.

When Steve walked out with the guitar, unsoiled by Jay's grubby little fingers, the feud was on. Steve has forever become known as "the guy who wouldn't let Jay play his guitar" around the store. Jay sat down and plotted his revenge.

Finally, the day came for Jay. If you can't beat him, join him. Jay's newish Charvel:

Steve is now known as the guy who forced Jay to spend a ton of money, just to play a robins egg blue Charvel. :lol: :LOL:
 
Beautiful. Is that a custom shop, or one of the ones that you mod with aftermarket stuff?

Lovin it, whatever it is!

That is a custom shop.
 
Revenge is a dish best served......robin's egg blue? :confused:

:rock:

What a beautiful guitar!
 
Whoa! What is up with the truss rod adjuster? That is is not standard Charvel fare.
 
LOL!

Is that the one with the beautiful birdseye neck that you showed me the other day?
 
You should consider writing .....I was compeled to read, and read until the end. And alas, my heart was broken by the tale of Jay and his so called "friend".
 
That was like a "Harlequin Romance" for gear heads.

Boy meets guitar, boy loses guitar, boy gets guitar.

LOL great read. Sweet guitar, that neck is amazing!
 
Damn.

I mean the kid down the street would not let me touch his Evil Knievel but shit that just cost about $60 in today's money.

One of my favorite finishes and that guitar to me is perfect, congrats Jay!
 
It has now become a tradition that I bring in guitars that Jay is never allowed to play causing him to spend more and more cash, eventually becoming an indentured servant to Squid Music. Oh.... And Curt has been in on this from the beginning.... In fact, it was his idea in the first place, yeah, that's the ticket....

Congrats to Jay though - awesome guitar. Can't wait to not be allowed to play it!
