Need build opinions. Another Charvel Nitro Clone.

Eh, with the recessed Floyd it kind of loses the vintage look a bit, so I'd say just go direct mount if that's where you're leaning. Otherwise I think a classic style Charvel really needs the rings to get the vibe, but that's just personal taste.

I'm sure whatever you come up with will be better than a MIM Charvel with a Floyd Rose 1000.
I totally agree with this. No rings for recessed FR.
 
yeah. My first one I got a body from KnE and sent it to MJT. This time, I snagged a bundle deal of TGP.

This was my last build



good gosh'almighty that's sexy. love, LOVE that roasted neck
 
Here’s where I ended up on the order. Same specs as my first one, but no roasting. I really like the look of the Luxxtone necks that have an aged oil treatment on Birdseye.
