Killer guitar...tell Jay congrats!!! Love the trussrod adjuster...it's about time players start placing more emphasis on function over tradition.

 

[threadkiller]

[Gainfreak]

I'm pretty sure if Mentoneman and Chubtone got together and wrote a book that they would both be millionares in under a year


Congrats to all parties involved

 

[rottingcorpse]

[syncrodude007]

Looks puss...how's it play?

[Spaceboy]

Gorgeous guitar only made better with the backstory!

 

[Chubtone]

Jay went with the truss rod adjuster because he sets up guitars almost everyday. Anything he could get to make that easier he went for.

This guitar sounds so resonant acoustically and just sounds killer through an amp. The funny thing is that Jay has one of those wives that he has to hide gear purchases from, or embellish where he got them or downplay the cost. Well, I liked this guitar so much I kept telling him if he didn't sell it to me, I was going to tell his wife how much it really cost.

How much for something like this?

A guitar like this is going to be $2200-2500 depending on options. This one has a birdseye maple neck and robins egg blue which are both upcharges.

Thats what the charvel custom shop is all about! I personally love it as is,but can understand your preference. BTW, when you say one volume knob i assume you mean one hummer also right cause it already has one vol knob?

 

[Badronald]

Very cool.

It'd be amazing though with a vintage trem and no locking nut.

I be thinking Jay needs a raise

 

[Chubtone]

I be thinking Jay needs a raise

Absolutely! In this economy it seems that everyone I know is getting raise after raise and bonus after bonus. There's just extra money flying everywhere. Jay's bonus has been he gets to keep his job. And his extra double bonus is, he gets to hang out with me!
