NGD- Purple Quilt Charvel Pro-Mod

[Rockinloud]

Really impressed with this thing so far. Beautiful quilt top (pics don't do it justice) and really dig the black nickel hardware. Neck is super smooth and comfortable and the fret work is very good, no sharp fret ends. Seems to be well built with nice attention to detail. Most importantly it sounds really good (JB & 59, my fav combo). The no-load tone control is cool although I always run mine wide open so could do without it but no biggie. Nice to have some single coil flavors available if needed. Only thing I've noticed so far is that when the volume control is pulled up for coil splitting the trem bar hits the top of it. It's just slight contact and does push by it but they do hit each other. Not sure if this can be adjusted, have to check into that. I have a few US models and this will hang right with them no problem. Now I just need to find more time to play it!

Great color combo with the zebras! Awesome tribute to Prince too!

Very nice. I almost ordered this one but ended up getting the neon yellow instead. I don't had the trem bar problem you have. Not even close. Can you post a pic of it?

Either way. Enjoy

Thanks for the comments! I really dig that neon yellow as well. Ordered this one when they released the pics at NAMM. Also dig that tobacco burst as well. Here's a pic of the trem bar hitting the volume control when the control is pulled up. Sorry it's a little out of focus.

Totally weird. I don't had that problem at all. Maybe you have the wrong trem bar?

Actually, did you try raisng the bridge at all? Looks a bit low

Thanks for the suggestions! Pretty sure it's the right bar, it's the one that came in the bag with it. Haven't tried adjusting anything yet. The local shop I bought it through strung it with 10-52s and set it up a half step down. Thing plays awesome and the action is really really nice. I'll look a little closer at things and see if there's someway of adjusting something to compensate for it. If not I can live with it no problem. Still very impressed with it!
