I'm really digging the blue one. It's pretty old school looking and nothing like the USA Pro Mods candy blue.

The blue one would look great with a "43" on the side along with an STP sticker :thumbsup:
 
I like that blue more than the candy blue. The Sam Ash near me carries them, but of course the one's from Squid Music come with a little extra magic dust sprinkled on for extra mojo. :D
 
I like that Kentucky blue one :thumbsup:

Hey Curt how do the Custom ones look? ;)
 
I just played my first Charvel today. It was the snow white Pro Mod. Holy shit, I'm hooked!!! I've got to have one!! Curt can you hook a bro up?? :D
 
i wish that they were still usa made, but i do like the chrome hardware and the direct mount pickups look better then the black hardware and cosmetics on the usa production. I really dig the brass hardware on some of the usa custom shop stuff. The blue one above looks very nice!!
 
The orange one no longer looks like that... :D

I put in a cream Dimarzio Super D hum, a cream Dimarzio HS-3 single, a Hipshot chrome covered solid brass hardtail, EVH zero friction pot, san dimas brass volume knob and san dimas brass strap buttons.

0000 steel wooled, the neck, frets and fretboard, Lemon oiled everything then hit is with the steel wool again once it was dry...

Required some "customization" of the HS-3 to fit the route (had to cut off some plastic) - same with the Hipshot (needed to drill new mounting holes, but all is cool now. Still waiting for some locking tuners to complete it... Looks, plays and sounds way cool...

I was there yesterday to pick up the orange one and I had to fight myself not to walk out with the two hum Seafoam green Custom Shop Curt has there... :inlove:

The blue is sweet. I also loved the earlier seasick color, this kinda reminds me of that a bit (only nicer with the chrome)
 
Digging the blue one...just needs some dbl creme hums to complete the look.

I played my first Japanese Pro Mod last week...it was cool. The neck felt basically the same as the US Pro Mods but it had a much more extreme "roll" to the fretboard ends. Definitely a great workhorse guitar.
