I REALLY like the new Charvels and if I could get past them having that damn whammy bar, would buy a couple......but, I don't like those at all. Relic'd guitars turn me off for some reason :confused:
 
Here is the problem:

Old Charvel's are painted in Poly so they don't age like that. :thumbsdown:
 
What's with the rounded fretboard shelf?

Hate that.

Oh, I get it. 21 frets. YUCK!

Other than Blackie and SRV's strats what has ever aged like those hack fender relics??? :lol: :LOL:

Shit, Vai's evo has 95% of it's paint and that guitar has been through wars :lol: :LOL:

Yup 21 frets would be the deal breaker for me as well.

Got my 3rd USA production coming though :thumbsup:

What did you get? :doh:

I trotted out a HSS/FR strat to some Halloween gigs we did, and to my astonishment, realized that 75% of the solos I cover end by dragging that last D to an E. :cry: Never again with 21 frets.

Have you guys seen the ridiculous prices for these? :thumbsdown: Trash Gibson all you want but to charge $3000 for these things is a joke.

Actually older Fenders and Gibsons with nitro finish do age and the paint wears naturaully like that. Poly finish is thick and simply wont wear like that unless you take sand paper to it. :thumbsdown:

You better google Gibson because the worse company to work for in 2009 is getting leaned on by lenders now to start making better guitars :lol: :LOL:

Yeah no way would I pay that for these but they make great idea templates :D

Well here's an idea. Buy a used Charvel for $650 and take a power sander to it. Relic..done.

Yup, Curt did it.

 
The first 2 are horrible, especially the black one, it looks like they just used sandpaper to remove the paint on the top.

The White one looks pretty good.....................
