This one's for CHUBTONE...Charvel Relic Build

[Stramm8]

Curt asked me to post some pics of the charvel in my avatar so here it is. It started life as an '80s import model 3 or 4 that I decided to do a relic job on. Only problem was I didn't know at the time that relicing is best performed on a nitro finished axe not POLY That shit is thick I still have some detail work to do on it but from 10 feet away it looks cool. It does play and sound great as well. I have been partial to ash bodied strats for awhile but I'm really digging the alder; a little more "heavier" sounding. Here are the specs:

'80s Charvel Body & hardware
Warmoth neck that's been on 3 or 4 different guitars over the years
Warmoth Pickgaurd
Original '83 or '84 Floyd Rose off of a "C" series Kramer Pacer w/big brass block
"Custom" Floyd Rose Bridge Saddle Trem Stop
Gibson 500T humbucker and Volume Pot

Neccesity and impatience is the mother of invention I ordered a trem stop from floydroseupgrades but couldn't wait till it arrived. It works perfectly...

I absolutely LOVE this freaking guitar!!!!!!!!

Like Mike said, cool trem stop. I've never seen that done before.

Thanks for the kind words guys Curt, I'm glad you like it. Hopefully I can order an actual custom shop model from you one day soon. That cream single hum axe you posted recently had me swooning

That cream single hum is calling to me every day. If I hadn't just gotten my Custom Shop that I waited 8 months for a short month ago, this one would have gone home with me. I normally think each day what I could sell in exchange for this one. I also have another Custom Shop that I am ready to special order. I think this is going to be addictive. I was addicted to Charvels at one other point in my life.....

Hands off....that guitar has been haunting me night and day. Been raising funds since I saw that one. It will be mine...oh yes it will be mine!

BTW: great looking build you got there.

cool trem stopper

No kidding, outstanding idea.

I remember stripping a 80s "USA" Kramer Pacer, I have no clue what the wood was and the poly was stupid thick
