Charvel Socal using Blackbelts from Motorcity pickups.

[rockstah]

I have been playing my new 2009 USA Charvel socal that i installed blackbelts into ( not second degree )

I did a quick clip through a 50w Mod5 amp build for a client.

I'm still getting used to the guitar and having a Floyd again! weeeeeee!

Sounds like the apocalypse! Great upper mid bite. Love your work!!!

Kick ass man. I like the bright aggressive tone. Nice chops as well.

Great stuff! The pickup seems to have great clarity!

I'll have to look up the specks on the Blackbelt.

Mark, have you tried the 2nd degree Black Belts? If so, how would you compare them to the Black Belt? BTW, great clip as always...

Wish I liked Charvel guitars. That is nice.

thanks a lot guys!
i haven't compared the second degree to the blackbelt. on his site he says something about if the blackbelt is the v6 engine the second degree is the v8. maybe he will chime in.

Is it the MIA or MIJ version? I was looking to pick one of these up in the near future.

no worries!
i first got a white made in japan san dimas and it was plastic sounding so i returned it and got the USA socal thinking it wouldn't as plastic sounding.... plastic sounding guitars as far as i'm concerned.
