This is a black star body that I bought. The owner thought based on the person he bought it from that it was a time capsule Charvel prepro star body, but I was pretty skeptical from the condition/shape and it's pretty clear now it's either late 80s Charvel or a GMW body.
It has a Musikraft neck - really FAT, clay dots, brass side dots, nice birdseye. I've had this one sitting around for awhile, so I put an obviously fake Charvel logo on, did 20 coats of satin clear and then sanded it down so the logo is flush. Looks like a silkscreen. The neck was originally had a Floyd shelf, but I had Orange County Guitarworks do a new nut for me on a little ebony shelf they built - works great!
Had some crown head tuners sitting around, so I used those. It's an old Charvel star plate #4825.
All brass parts from Frets On The Net, except the bridge and the knob which are new. Got them from OC Custom Guitars.
That is a 1975 Dimarzio Dual Sound (basically a Super Distortion that can be split) and original ring.
Obviously, this thing is all over the place from a historical standpoint, but what the hell...
Guitar sounds and plays great! Love the fat neck.
All I need now is a tremolo cover. A regular Fender strat one works, but the string slots don't line up with the tremolo.
Oh... in case anyone wants to see how they reconstructed the nut from the Floyd shelf, here it is:
