When did they start offering this Jake E Lee model as a Pro-Mod

I don't see it on the Charvel website. The neck plate says it's made in Mexico.

Wow! They shoulda matched the headstock though...

 

[Alpha Stryke]

Ever since there was one.

No kidding.. for that price come on. I guess they need to differentiate it from their USA line because of the pricetag.

I recall an interview with Jake (maybe one of the Dave Friedman ones), where he mentioned the Mexican blue burst model coming out. The blue burst was my dream guitar back in the day. I can look past the headstock, as at least there is a truss rod wheel. However, QC issues are always a concern. I may end up with one!! Thank you for posting a photo of one in the wild

It would be easy to find someone match the headstock. I didn't catch that until someone pointed it out.

The white Pro-Mods look good too, until you see one n person. The paint coloring is horrid. The USA ones look awesome in person.

Not a fan of hardtail Strats but would make an exception for this.

He seems drunk or drugged out...

Yeah he did mention it but it took forever.

They look sick and the layout makes sense.... Just a classic guitar for a classic tone.

He's always been kind of odd in interviews

I think he sounds better in this particular interview than most, to be honest.

My experience with MIM Charvels in the last 10 years has been awesome. Much more consistent than MII Jacksons, that's for sure....

I don’t think Jake is big on scripts and being Mr. corporate. In the interviews with Dave Friedman, he gets lit up and lets loose.

I get that, but he's slurring his words and sounds like a mess.
