Giving Mr. Floyd another double shot

[steve_k]

Just picked this Charvel Custom up. It looked very inviting in matte black and ready to get serious with...

And, a Tom Anderson Drop Top Pro Am, again in black....

 

[Motorpud]

I have to hurry up and start saving for that TA when it hits the classifieds Joke aside, I think they both look great

 

[nighttrain69]

i really like the look of the matte black ..

 

[King Loudness]

Those both look absolutely killer Steve. I myself am gassing pretty hard over one of the Natural Series Charvels...

Only $1,795...

Nice Steve I really dig the Charvel

The Charvel Matte Black series I think is an exclusive at Music Zoo. They just got them in. Comes with maple or rosewood fingerboard. I thought it just screamed "treat me bad"

I've been chomping at the bit for a TA, as they are so well thought of. Bounced back and forth with TA and Suhr, and the black Pro Am looked like a good fit. I swore off Floyd guitars last year, but sort of missed them a bit from time to time. Anyway, giving it another shot. With all these 80's modded Marshall's now, got to have some Floyd action along with a couple good Lesters.

Put a 42mm block on it and it makes a big difference! Congrats

TMZ offers them with Ebony boards as well.

Congrats!

Saw that one too. Don't have anything with a maple board on it right now, so thought I would change that.....

 

[Digital Jams]

I saw those when the Zoo posted about them, pretty cool guitar

 

[rupe]

What makes the TA a Drop Top? Does it have a bent maple top under the paint?

Very cool pair of fiddles...two of my favorite builders. How do they compare?

Good luck, bro.

Not saying I couldn't be sucked back in as well, but I just dumped my last Floyd guitar. Woohoo (for now)

 

[jcj]

BTW- Nice guitars

I have seen too many recommendations for the TA's, so figured I would drop down on one. It came from Mesa Hollywood. Didn't want one too purty though and this black Pro Am seemed to be about right. H1 and H3+ PU's. If the Floyd gets in the way, I got a couple of trem-loks to fix them. The Charvel's I know are great to play and have owned several. Thought the matte black was just too cool. The PayPal was swelled up a bit, so I figured why the hell not.

I get it....I love the Andy's, and have one that I ordered in December due sometime soon. No fancy top.

Honestly, that Chavel gave me a little flutter (get it) Looks GREAT in the matte black

How is the neck on the music zoo charvels like the natural or matte black series?
Similar to the US production series? I had heard that music zoos exclusives have a much skinner neck front to back.
I love my flat black wildcard, but I don't think I could go any thinner on the neck.
My other guitars are a Santa III and an old Jeff beck strat with the huge neck.

 

[glip22]

I really like that Charvel Steve. Looks awesome! I had a MZ Charvel Mahogony. I think if I wpuld have swapped out the pickups I would have been happy. It resonated really well and the neck played great.

I don't see the ebony board one on TMZ. I see a rosewood.

I've been considering the EVH Stealth, but these Charvels are very cool too, and a lot cheaper. I want an ebony board though.

I'm worried that if I buy the EVH, I'm going to pay more than it's worth, because of the hype. I don't want to pay $2800 and then see them going for $1800 in a couple years.
